ABSTRACT:
Motion paths are created as independent entities in a multimedia motion path editor. A motion path is drawn in a path editor layout window without associating the path with an object in the layout area. The path is then saved for subsequent assignment to any desired object in the layout area. The saved path may be manipulated as any other object. A plurality of the saved paths may be joined together, and/or combined into one extrapolated path.
