The following example adds a motion path and sets the starting and ending horizontal and vertical positions.
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
End With
