How to do this in Motion 3 (or if it can be done at all)?...

Question

Try as I might, I have not been able to figure out how to do this in Motion.
I have a 10-page pdf document. I've imported these pages separately into Motion. I want them to be spaced out and 'standing up' in Z-space.
I want a camera to move around, highlighting 3 different areas - one on each of three separate pages, as per this image I've made up.
(The whole purpose of this 10-20 second clip is just to give an impression of the content - and the 'highlights' - of the 10-page pdf document. I'm therefore not fussy about whether the text will look a bit fuzzy, etc, when the camera zooms in.)
What I want, in particular, is for the camera to begin in front of the pages (i.e. in front of page 1), wait for a few seconds, then move/sweep around the first couple of pages and zoom into the first red area (on page 3). I want it to wait there for a few seconds and then sweep around (or through) pages 4 and 5 and come to the next red area (on page 6), wait there a few seconds, and finally, zoom/dolly through again to the final red area on page 10 where it again waits for a few seconds. At the end, I want the camera to come back to where it was at the beginning, looking at the first of the 10 pages.
The spacing (in Z-space) does not have to be uniform. There could be a bigger gap in front of pages 3, 6 and 10. That's no problem.
If anyone can give me some pointers on how to go about doing this - or whether I'm barking up the wrong tree trying this at all in Motion - I would be very grateful. I have googled, scoured the Motion manual, etc, etc, but cannot figure out how to do it. Though I have quite a bit of experience of using FCP, I'm new to Motion. (What a program, btw!...)
TIA,
Hugh

Howdy,
If you switch to the Top or Perspective views, you will be able to see the camera's animation path and edit (and add points to) it.
The animation method I'd most recommend is to use the Motion Path behavior with the speed set to Custom. This lets you define the camera's path and then you can easily animate its progress along that path by keyframing the behavior's Custom Speed value. This makes it really easy to keyframe changes in speed, such as having your camera hesitate at each image.
Or you can even use a Motion Path behavior per segment of the camera's journey. This allows you to have more flexibility with editing the timing in the Timeline.
