Keynote Scale and Move multiple items issue

I'm trying to scale (enlarge) and move multiple objects on my slide. Individually, Keynote shows a transparent image of the object so I can see it and place it where I want after the animation is complete. However, when I add an animation to another object, i cannot see where the previous object ends-up after its enlargement. Is there a way to see where all objects will finalize after an animation in order to properly place them on the page?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.4

There isn't a dedicated tool in Keynote to do this, my work around is to place a grey coloured shape in the position and the size where the final position will be of the object being animated

Then I position and size the move effect "ghost image" directly on top of the grey shape

Once this is done, delete the duplicate shapes.








Positioning is pixel accurate if you have the alignment guides turned on in Keynote Preferences, Rulers
