2. Enable Camera to enable the motion path for the camera.
3. Click Animation to display the Channel Editor.
4. Open the Translate folder in either the Camera or Object folder.
5. Select either the X or Y channel
6. Set the position of the front clip by dragging it in the image window. You can also do this in the Channel Editor.
7. In the timebar, move to a different frame.
8. Set the new position of the front clip by again dragging it in the image window.

   A motion path appears.

9. Modify the motion path. See Creating a Motion Path.
