Parameters in the Inspector
Clamp At: A pop-up menu in which you choose the option to clamp parameter values
at only the minimum, only the maximum, or both the minimum and maximum.
Min: A value slider that lets you define the minimum amount of change for an
animated parameter.
Max: A value slider that lets you define the maximum amount of change for an
animated parameter.
The value is represented as a percentage, in pixels, or in degrees, depending on the
parameter assignment. For example, if Clamp is applied to the Rotation parameter, the
Min and Max values are degrees. If Clamp is applied to the X Position parameter, the
values are in pixels.
Apply To: The Apply To (“Go”) pop-up menu shows the parameter being affected and
can be used to reassign the behavior to another parameter.

Custom
The Custom behavior allows you to make your own behaviors by creating a set of
parameters, then keyframing them to create the type of animation you want to apply
to an object. By saving custom behaviors you create in the Library, you can create your
own collection of behaviors to suit your needs.
Prior to creating a Custom behavior, you must first add the Custom behavior to an
object in the Canvas. The Custom behavior is added to an object like all other non-
Parameter behaviors in Motion.
Note: Although the Custom behavior is a Parameter behavior, it does not appear in the
list when you Control-click a parameter.
To add a Custom behavior to an object, do one of the following:
m Select the object to which you want to add a Custom behavior, click the Add Behavior
icon in the Toolbar, then choose Parameter > Custom from the pop-up menu.
m In the Library, select the Behaviors category, select the Parameter subcategory, then
drag the Custom icon to the object in the Canvas, Layers tab, or Timeline.
The Custom behavior is applied to the object. The behavior has no effect until you add
a parameter to the behavior.
