You can apply motion path animation effects to move slide objects in a sequence that tells an effective story.
For example, the plane on the right (below) shows the starting point of the plane, and the dotted line between the two planes shows the path it will take when the animation plays. The transparent image on the left is where the plane will end up when the motion path animation is done.
1.Click the object you want to animate.
2.On the Animations tab, click Add Animation.
3.Scroll down to Motion Paths, and pick one.

In most cases, using one of the basic path animations is a perfect choice for adding interest to your slide. In the following example, we'll apply a Turn path animation to a graphic, use Effect Options to change the direction of the path, and then we'll use Reverse Path Direction to get the final look we want.

May 28, 2021 · You can move a shape, image or other object across a PowerPoint slide during a slide show using motion path or entrance animations. When you run a slide show, the object will move across the screen (on click or automatically).
When editing with a layered editor the move tool is used to move and position layers. With the move tool you can move individual visual elements around in the image canvas and position them relative to each other. This makes the move tool essential when compositing images.
