In short, Motion allows right/left movement along the X axis, up/down movement along the Y axis, rotation, and in/out motion throughout the image scale. For each effect, you can set keyframes using a blue reference line, and combine motions as well. For example, with a static image of a ball against a common background color, you can have the ball move from screen top right, down to screen bottom left as it gets closer to you, and so on. You can use it in a chroma key to move the forground subject against a fixed background, or move them both for that matter! To me, the Motion effect is a real selling point for Videopad. Now, if they can just get the rest of 3.02 working properly.........................
