•
Amount: Drag this slider, available when Custom is chosen from the Sequencing pop-up menu,
to define the maximum amount that the animated parameter can deviate from its animation
value. For example, the following image shows a custom animation of a glyph in the positive
Y direction. When Amount is set to 50, the glyph deviates no more than 50 pixels to the left or
right of the animation path. The bold red line shows the animation path, and the thinner red
line displays the randomized path.
•
Noisiness: Drag this slider to add an additional overlay of random variance. Higher Noisiness
values result in more erratic variations in the affected parameter.
•
Seed: Click the Generate button to create an initial random seed for creating randomness in
the Variance parameters. To change the randomness results after you click Generate, click the
button again or enter a value in the field.
•
Fix: Use this pop-up menu, available when Sequencing is set to Custom, to fix the values defined
in the behavior to the start, end, or start and end of the behavior. There is also an option to not
fix the values. Variance must be greater than 0 for this parameter to have any effect.
•
Start Point: When variance is applied, the values defined in the Sequence Text behavior
(above the Add and Remove pop-up menus in the Behaviors Inspector) at the start and end
of the behavior are fixed to the first frame of the behavior. In the following images, the text
position is sequenced. Fix is set to Start Point.
•
End Point: When variance is applied, the values defined in the Sequence Text behavior (above
the Add and Remove pop-up menus) at the start and end of the behavior are fixed to the
last frame of the behavior. In the following images, the text position is sequenced. Fix is set
to End Point.
