Using Behaviors
For more information about applying Parameter behaviors, see “
Trimming Behaviors
When you apply a behavior to an object, the duration of the behavior in the Timeline
defaults to the duration of the object to which it’s applied.
A behavior’s duration can be modified to limit the duration of its effect. For example, if
you apply the Spin behavior to an object, by default that object spins around for its
entire duration. If you trim the Out point of the Spin behavior, the spinning stops at the
new position of the Out point.
To change the duration of a behavior in the Timeline:
1
Move the pointer to the In or Out point of any behavior in the Timeline.
2
When the pointer changes to the Trim pointer, do one of the following:
•
Drag the In point to delay the beginning of the behavior’s effect.
•
Drag the Out point to end the behavior’s effect prior to the end of the object.
Note: When you drag the In or Out point of a behavior, a tooltip appears and
displays the new location and duration of the In or Out point.
The default duration of a behavior matches the
duration of the object to which it is applied.
A tooltip indicates the new
position of the Out point.
