Pause along Motion Path

[Guest]

So I've got a slide...center of the slide is a house with people in it,
outside the house are little bubbles containing text (approx. 15). I want to
have the person move out of the house and then "visit" each of the bubbles,
pausing for about 1-2 seconds at each bubble before returning to the house.

I can (have) created a freeform path that visits each of the bubbles but
can't figure out a way to create multiple stops along the path.

Any ideas???

Thanks!

You'll need to connect individual motion paths for each stop. (select object,
add path, move path so it starts where last path ended) . Schedule each
subsequent move to start after 1 - 2 seconds (effect options > timing >
delay).

Brilliant...thank you!

Hi
You can crate pauses by introducing delays in the animations. You can
do this most easily by adjusting the start time in the Timeline
window.
