• Duration
  • Transition Duration controls how long the transition of your animation goes from off to on screen. (Note: Does not work if Use Clip Length is enabled)
  • Idle Duration adjusts how long the title stays on screen between transitions. (Note: Does not work if Use Clip Length is enabled)
  • Idle Animation Speed controls how fast the animation plays during the title's idle state.
  • Match Start & End Values lets the plugin use the Start & End positions of the clip it's been applied to to determine when to start and stop its transition animations.
  • Use Clip Length lets the plugin use the length of the clip it's been applied to to determine the length of the animation's duration.
• Start Properties
  • Position Start determines where the title is when the animation starts.

  • Idle Animation
    • Idle Preroll Adjust controls how much the animation has already completed from its idle start forward (default 0)
    • Spring Amplitude adjusts the amplitude of the random pattern used to spring the title in its idle state; higher numbers means more springiness further from the source, lower meaning less springiness closer to the source.
    • Spring Frequency adjusts how frequently the springy animation occurs within its given duration.
    • Spring Decay controls how much tapering occurs during the spring animation.
  • Wiggle Amplitude X and Y controls how much wiggling occurs among the X and Y axis respectively.
  • Wiggle Frequency adjusts how frequently wiggling occurs within its given duration.
  • Pivot Amplitude X , Y , and Z adjusts the amplitude of pivoting among the given axis; higher numbers mean more pivoting further from the source, lower meaning less pivoting.
  • Pivot Frequency controls how frequently pivoting occurs within the given duration.
  • Hover Amplitude determines how amplified the hovering animation occurs within the idle state; higher numbers mean more extreme hovering, lower numbers mean less extreme hovering.
  • Hover Frequency controls how rapidly the hovering animation animates within its given duration.
• End Properties

  • Scale End controls the size of the title at the end of the animation.
