Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why should I use custom motion paths instead of built-in effects?

Custom paths give you full control over how elements move, allowing you to guide attention, explain ideas more clearly, and match your brand’s style.

2. Do custom path animations affect performance?

When optimized properly, they run smoothly without affecting performance on modern devices and platforms.

3. What makes motion path animations worth using?

Motion path animations let you guide attention, simplify complex concepts, and add a professional, dynamic feel to your content. For example, you can show a journey on a map by moving an icon along a route, illustrate a workflow by smoothly connecting each step, highlight key data points by directing focus to charts or figures, or enhance user interfaces with natural, intuitive movements.
