-It's good practice to have a separate file for combining animations. Things can go wrong, animations may change, and you dont want to destroy your original model file by accident so it's always best to keep things separate. Our plan of attack is we create a .blend file for every animation and then use this separate file to combine them into one. To keep it simple we will use a copy of the first animation we downloaded.
