Quick question arc path

[SeismicGuy]

I have a feeling I should be able to figure out how to do this but it hasn't come to me yet.  Say I have an image that starts at the left of the screen about midway up and I want that image to end up at the right of the screen about midway up.  I assume this would take a keyframe at the beginning and one at the end.  But what if I want that image to move in an arc or some other path and not in a straight line across the screen.  If I add a keyframe mid-time that has that middle position when I play the slide the image stops for a second at that mid-time keyframe and then continues.  Is there a way to get the start to end motion in a continuous smooth motion?

Add the Modifier 'Smooth Move' to the middle keyframe

This will make it travel in a smooth arc across the screen

I think I tried using that modifier but will check again.

It won't do what you want unless you add it to the Middle one of the 3 Keyframes.

Keyframe1 - Start position
Keyframe2 - mid position with Smooth Move Modifier
Keyframe3 - End Position

Just got around to trying that Smooth modifier on the middle keyframe and it worked like a charm--thanks!
