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.
