<p>I'm trying to make an animated slideshow in Premiere Pro, and the examples I've found on the net all use the motion effect. However I noticed that it doesn't do anything, and I noticed it's in the obsolete folder. There are a bunch of other effects in that folder, does that mean that they don't work anymore?</p>
