Example

The following example adds a motion path and sets the starting and ending horizontal and vertical positions.

Sub AddMotionPath()

    Dim effCustom As Effect
    Dim animMotion As AnimationBehavior
    Dim shpRectangle As Shape

    'Adds shape and sets effect and animation properties
    Set shpRectangle = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _
        .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, Left:=100, _
        Top:=100, Width:=50, Height:=50)

    Set effCustom = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence _
        .AddEffect(Shape:=shpRectangle, effectId:=msoAnimEffectCustom)

    Set animMotion = effCustom.Behaviors.Add(msoAnimTypeMotion)

    'Sets starting and ending horizontal and vertical positions
    With animMotion.MotionEffect
        .FromX = 0
        .FromY = 0
        .ToX = 50
        .ToY = 50
    End With
