"Bounce" objects in Motion 5?

Try playing with the oscillate behavior and then apply stop behavior after you have the number of bounces you want.

Group the objects that will bounce together. Add a Gravity Behavior to their group. Enclose that group in another group (select the group and type Command Shift G). Add an Edge Collision behavior to the "parent" group. Adjust the Height parameter to bring the bounce off the bottom edge of the canvas (if needed.) Adjust the Bounce Strength to about 40%. Adjust the Acceleration of the Gravity behavior to around 1000 (to start) and move the bouncing group above the canvas by about twice the distance it needs to travel (you might have to slide the behavior starts to before the start of the project to assist in timing the "entry" of the bouncing objects into the "scene"; and extend the out points of the behaviors to the end of the project so once the objects come to "rest", they'll stay in place.) Edge Collision + Gravity can provide a quite realistic bounce effect.

I exactly tried your instructions to create bouncing objects but the object just drops beyond the bottom of the canvas so the "edge collision" behaviour does not seems to work. Th height parameter in the behaviour does not have any influence !!! Any suggestion what I do wrong ?? Maybe you can reply to me at info@artivideo.nl

Oscillate behavior, keyframed, works wonders. I use it couple time a week.

How do you get a nice flowing bounce ? By using "easy in easy out" or you have another trick ? You made a template of this behaviour ? Maybe you can send it to me, that would be nice.

I just add a Wiggle behavior to the Position Properties ALL right at the landing spot and lengthen it/shorten it to get the bounce I want. Works great.

Very interesting case about bouncing movement in Apple Motion with project file
