Hey, so I am having trouble aligning a few different animation templates in the time line. Specifically, i’m trying to use the jump animation for a cat for a g3 character in cta3. The problem is that the grey dot that i assume is the pivot point, is separated from the character during the animation. When i try to add another animation to the timeline, they wont match up whith the characters location. Its very odd and i cannot figure out how the move the grey dot/pivot point. HELP!

If you are referring to the grey dots with the green lines connecting them then those are Transform Keys for that character.
In the timeline you will see a key in that characters Transform track corresponding to each of the grey dots.

On the Stage you can put your mouse cursor over the grey dot and then click and drag it to a new XY location.
In the timeline you can move the transform key in the track to a different position (in time) maintaining the XY position.
