"When you animate spatial properties—including Position, Anchor Point, and effect control point properties—the motion is shown as a motion path. A motion path appears as a sequence of dots, where each dot marks the position of the layer at each frame. A box in the path marks the position of a keyframe"
How close the dots are on the timeline represents the speed of the animation.
In After Effects, I can select Window and Motion Path which will the allow me to create a path to animate my text. It will record the movements and create keyframes on the timeline below. I can then return to Window and select Smoother which will reduce the number of keyframes if I created too many.
A path that you draw by hand that you want your object to follow.
1. Window > Motion Sketch
2. Presets are 100%, 1 and wireframe checked
3. Start capture
4. Window > The Smoother
5. Adjust tolerance
