Say you want to have a line of characters doing the same dance and following each other.  I see no way of doing this once and then reusing it because when I collect the clip it basically just has the next character do the moves in place and the location they are supposed to be on the screen is just ignored.  So I basically have to record the location they are supposed to be in and the time and then reapply those to every character that I want to be in the line.

There must be a way to say I want to save the motions and the location of the character into a clip right?  I cannot find anything in Cartoon Animator 4 pipeline to solve this problem.  I appreciate everyone that has read this.  I just want to make motions more reusable and for me sometimes that means the location of the character on the screen in addition to what parts of their body are moving.

See this example where they are sneaking along? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38FvjOydmHE&t=4s  Yeah I want to be able to make those and save them using collect clip to apply to other characters.  Instead what happens is the first one is great and then all the rest I apply them to just do the movement in place.

Ah Mark Diaz hooked me up.  Here is the advice in case anyone else is struggling (or I forget again ha)

"For that you need the character BONE animation to be MOVING the character from one place to another (and not be moving with the TRANSFORM tool)."

This worked perfectly!
