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
