Specifying the rate of movement
The rate of movement used for the Motion Tool is specified in the Tool Options Panel. Increasing the pixels per second will decrease the number of Frames used while decreasing its value will increase the number of Frames used.
Note: Motion Path now creates Move Effects with absolute Transforms, so changing a Move Effect in the middle of a Motion Path won't affect subsequent Effects
