A motion path is a feature in design and animation software that allows you to move an object (like text, shapes, or images) along a specific path on the screen. Instead of just appearing or disappearing, the object follows a line or curve that you set, creating movement in a controlled direction. For example, in a PowerPoint presentation, you can use a motion path to make a picture move from one side of the slide to the other. It's commonly used in animations to make designs more dynamic and engaging.
