How can I make a ball bounce in Apple Motion 5

Question

Can someone please tell me how to make a ball bounce in Apple Motion 5? I want it to fall from the top of the canvas and bounce a few times in the middle of the canvas. And I can't seem to figure out how to make the gravity and edge collision behaviors work. Someone please help a girl out! Thanks

Answer 1

Add all the behaviors to the circle shape (or whatever you want to fall and bounce.)
When you add the Edge Collision behavior, it is automatically set up for project bounds with a 100 px depth. You will probably want to set the Bounce Strength in Edge Collision to around 60-70%. A 100% bounce will never stop bouncing (unless other forces are applied to it -- like Drag.)
Behaviors added to the circle to create the motion path below:
(Circle starts at top of canvas)
Edge Collision:  Bounce Strength 65% (no other parameter change)
Gravity: Acceleration 100.0
Throw: Throw Velocity > X > 32  (dial down the disclosure triangle)
Drag: 0.3
Project length: 30 seconds
Drag Behavior In Point: 15:20 (can be sooner or a little later). Drag is used to stop the "ball" motion.
