Hi tvi -

Unfortunately, when you set a custom motion path in Magic Motion it cannot be saved for fututr use. In PiP Designer - yes. Magic Motion - no.

Within the same project, once a custom path has been set, you can copy & paste keyframe attributes to other photos. That will apply the same motion.

One way around it is to set your motion paths in PiP Designer, where custom paths can be saved. Another possibility, even though it's pretty clunky, is to:

1. Create a project containing images with your favourite custom Magic Motion paths set.


2. Save it as "Magic Motion Paths" (or something)

When you want to access & use those paths in future projects...

1. Insert the Magic Motion Paths project, then


2. Copy & paste keyframe attributes to photos in your new project.

Ideally, the photos used for copy/paste keyframe attributes would have the same aspect ratio.
