Stutter
This behavior randomly inserts hold frames, of random durations, into the playback of a
clip. The effect is similar to a tape that sticks during play in a videocassette recorder.
Parameters in the Inspector
Stutter Amount:
A slider that sets the probability that a hold frame is generated at the
given frame. When set to 0%, no hold frames are created; when set to 100%, every frame
is a hold frame. Values between 0 and 100 indicate the probability of frames (within the
duration of the behavior) that are replaced by hold frames. The default value is 10%.
Duration Range:
A slider that sets the maximum duration of hold frames. A value of 1
inserts single-frame hold frames at a frequency determined by the Stutter Amount
parameter. Increasing the Duration Range increases the range of hold frames. For example,
a value of 30 creates random hold frames with a minimum of 1 frame and a maximum
of 30 frames. The default value is 3 frames.

A button that lets you pick a new random seed number. This number is
used to randomly generate new values, based on the other parameters of this behavior.
