Choose To Current Location to use the current object’s properties as the starting point of the animation and the object’s
position as the ending point. This option is similar to From Current Appearance, only the object finishes in its current
location and the motion path is offset. This option is especially useful for certain presets, such as blurs and fades, to
prevent the object from appearing in an undesirable state at the end of the animation.

To display the proxy at the end of the motion path, click the Show Animation Proxy  at the bottom of the
Animation panel.

A Object and path before animation B From Current Appearance C To Current Appearance D To Current Location

Rotate

Specify a rotation angle that the object completes during the animation.

Origin

Use the proxy to specify the origin point of the motion path on the animated object.

Scale

Specify a percentage value to determine whether the object increases or decreases in size during playback.

Opacity

Choose an option to determine whether the animation remains solid (None), gradually becomes visible (Fade

In), or gradually becomes invisible (Fade Out).

Visibility

Select Hide Until Animated or Hide After Animating to make an object invisible before or after playback.
