How to Create Easy Complex Motion Paths in PowerPoint

In this demo, I show you how to easily create complex motion path animations using a free plug in from Bright Carbon called BrightSlide (for Windows version of PowerPoint only). Traditionally, you would need to draw a custom motion path, which can be difficult to create smooth stops and starts. And, if you want the path to follow a visible line or shape on your slide, it can be hard to get it to line up perfectly. This method creates a seamless stop/start, perfect path alignment, and best of all – it’s efficient once you understand how to do it!
