Applying motion quickly to selected objects has never been faster. First, select an object- better yet, select a few, they’re small. Then select a preset name in the Motion Presets panel (Window>Motion Presets) and click Apply. By default, the current location of the object becomes the initial position of the animation, or you can hold the Shift key while you click Apply to make the current location the end position of the animation.
