Actually you can, I was looking around, I saw a great tutorial explaining how to do it, but I just can't seem to find it. It explains the whole process, you just first create an actor then you record the motion and save it then you can plug it in anywhere in the timeline. I'm sorry I can't help you much
Also, it seem as though you are not running the Hub, that's why the buttons are greyed out, I would try first to delete your config files and exit out of LW and the hub and then try again. The Hub is the coordinator between the two programs, look down in the system tray and you should see it when it's running. Normally when you start up Layout, the Hub starts up automatically.
