Motion Path Definition: An animation effect that determines how and in what direction text or objects will move on a slide. Motion paths are one of the "custom animations" in powerpoint. The motion path is basically the path an object or text follows when it is animated. By adding movement it draws the readers eye to the image or text your trying to get across. For example, you can make a picture on your slide move from the top left to the bottom right side of your slide. You could also make a path for an arrow to follow to show a process in a presentation. If you want a special entrance or exit for an object, motion paths let you do so. You can position, size, and edit your paths. There are many different types of motion paths to use depending on what you want. Motion paths are most useful when you are trying to create a powerpoint for a business meeting or a school project.
