•
Scale End: This slider specifies the scale of the replicator elements at the end of the pattern,
relative to the Scale value. For example, if Scale is set to 100% and Scale End set to 50%, the
elements are 100% at their origin and half their size at the end of the pattern.
•
Scale Randomness: This slider defines an amount of variance in the scale of replicator
elements. A value of 0 results in no variance—all elements in the pattern are the same
size. A value greater than 0 introduces a variance. The scale for an element is defined by
the Scale parameter, plus or minus a random value falling within the Scale and the Scale
End. The disclosure triangle of the Scale Randomness parameter reveals separate X and Y
subparameters that can be used to set width and height values separately.

•
Play Frames: This checkbox appears if the replicator is using a QuickTime object as the source
for a cell. When this checkbox is selected, playback of the animation or movie clip used for
each element will loop. If this checkbox is deselected, the animation or clip is frozen at the still
frame specified by the Random Start Frame parameter or the Source Start Frame parameter.
•
Random Start Frame: This checkbox appears if the replicator is using a QuickTime object as
the source for a cell. Use this control to introduce variation into elements using QuickTime
animation or movies as their source objects. When this checkbox is selected, each element in
the pattern begins at a different frame of the clip. Stills are chosen randomly if Play Frames
is deselected.
•
Source Start Frame: This slider appears if the replicator is using a QuickTime object as the
source for a cell. The value selected in the slider designates the start frame of the clip (when
the Play Frames checkbox is selected) or the still frame to display (when Play Frames is
deselected). This parameter appears only if Random Start Frame is deselected.
