Motion 5 - Negate

Negate

Inverts the value of each keyframe and behavior effect in the parameter to which it’s
applied by multiplying the parameter by –1. The Negate behavior basically flips each
parameter value to its opposite. Animation paths are flipped, rotation is reversed, and
any effect’s parameter is changed to its opposite.

Using Behaviors

For example, applying the Negate behavior to the Position parameter of an object with
an animation path results in the animation path moving to the opposite quadrant of the
Canvas.

Note: If you want to reverse the motion taking place on an animation path, rather than
flipping the shape of the animation path itself, use the Reverse parameter behavior.

Parameters in the Inspector
