Simple Transition Effects for Short Video or GIF

Question

I'm pretty new to creating GIFs and video effects so please excuse my ignorance. I searched for 2-3 hours for a simple tutorial on this but it is difficult to find.

Would anyone know how I can do this simple task: I have an image divided into 4 sections. I want each section to "fly in" from outside the screen into view, one right after the other until all 4 pieces are there. Sort of like when you make graphics "fly in" in Microsoft Word or Powerpoint.

I have the entire Adobe suite so I can use anything they have. I started creating it in Photoshop as a GIF and I assumed I could probably add the "Fly in" effect to each section of the image but it seems Photoshop doesn't have such capabilities for GIFs.

Simply go to the end of the video, set a keyframe how it should look in the end. Then go to the beginning and move the images out of view. Add some movement speed curves if you want
