Lock a behavior
• In Motion, click the lock icon that appears to the right of a behavior’s name in the
Layers list or Timeline.
You cannot modify the parameters of a locked behavior.
Show or hide all behaviors
• In Motion, click the Show/Hide Behaviors button at the bottom of the Layers list (or at
the top of the Timeline layers list).
This button neither enables nor disables behaviors applied to objects in your project; it
merely controls their visibility as objects in the Layers list and Timeline.
Rename a behavior
• In the Layers list or Timeline in Motion, double-click a behavior name, enter a new name,
then press Return.
Copy, paste, or move behaviors in Motion
After you add behaviors to an object, there are a number of ways to copy and move them
among the other items in the Timeline or Layers list. Behaviors can be cut, copied, pasted,
or duplicated like any other item in Motion. When you cut or copy a behavior in the Timeline
or Layers list, you also copy the current states of that behavior’s parameters.
When you duplicate an object, you duplicate all behaviors applied to it. This way, if you’re
creating a project with a number of objects that use the same behavior, you can apply that
behavior to the first instance of that object, and then duplicate that object as many times
as necessary.
Cut or copy a behavior
1. In Motion, select a behavior in the Layers list or Timeline.
2. Do one of the following:
• Choose Edit > Cut (or press Command-X) to remove the behavior and place it on the
Clipboard.
• Choose Edit > Copy (or press Command-C) to copy the behavior to the Clipboard.
Paste a behavior
1. In Motion, select an object in the Layers list or Timeline.
2. Choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V).
The cut or copied behavior is applied to the selected object, with all its parameter
settings intact.
