• Scale End: A slider to set 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.
Click the disclosure triangle next to the Scale End parameter to reveal separate X, Y,
and Z scaling subparameters. Use X and Y to resize the width and height of elements
separately; use Z to change the depth of 3D text elements.
• Scale Randomness: A slider to set 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 range of
values set in Scale and the Scale End. Click the disclosure triangle next to the Scale
Randomness parameter to reveal separate X, Y, and Z scaling subparameters. Use X
and Y to resize the width and height of elements separately; use Z to change the depth
of 3D text elements.
• Play Frames: A checkbox (available when the replicator uses a QuickTime object as
the source for a cell) that loops playback of the animation or movie clip used for each
element. 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
(described below).
• Random Start Frame: A checkbox (available when the replicator uses a QuickTime
object as the source for a cell) that introduces variation so that each element in
the pattern begins at a different frame of the clip. If the Play Frames checkbox is
deselected, still frames are chosen randomly.
• Source Start Frame: A slider (available when the replicator uses a QuickTime object
as the source for a cell and if Random Start Frame is deselected) that 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).
