• Through: Specifies that the sequence goes through a full animation cycle starting at
the original value of the cells, moves to the value set in the Sequence Replicator, and
then returns to the original value of the cells. For example, if the original opacity value
of a cell is 100% and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence Replicator parameters,
onscreen elements begin completely opaque, become transparent, and then become
completely opaque again.
• Through Inverted: Specifies that the sequence goes through an inverted animation
cycle starting from the value set in the Sequence Replicator, moves to the original value
of the cells, and then returns to the value set in the Sequence Replicator. For example,
if the original opacity value of a cell is 100% and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence
Replicator parameters, the onscreen elements begin completely transparent, become
opaque, and then become completely transparent. This is the opposite of the Through
Sequencing option.
• Custom: Allows you to use animation originally created in the source layer’s parameters
(except alpha parameters) or to keyframe how the animation moves through the values
set in the Sequence Replicator parameters over an element. Each element undergoes
the same value sequence. When Custom is chosen from the Sequencing pop-up menu,
the Source parameter becomes available.
Source parameter becomes
available when Sequencing
is set to Custom.
Source: This pop-up menu becomes available when Custom is chosen from the
Sequencing pop-up menu. The Source options are:
• Use Source Animation: If the source layer parameters are keyframed (in the Replicator
Inspector or HUD), choose this option to enable the animation created by those
keyframes.
• Ignore Source Animation: If the source layer parameters are keyframed (in the Replicator
Inspector or HUD), choose this option to ignore the animation created by those
keyframes.
