Hi, I have several hundred fbx motions that motionbuilder 2009 needs to have saved from motionbuilder 7.5 so 2009 can read them. So, in 7.5 I have to save each one of these motions slowly one by one. Is there anyway to load and quickly save a large amount of motions in 7.5 at once?  Thanks ..

you can use the batch mode or just when you do import , select more than one file to import.  then export them all back out with one take per file and you should be good.

Wow Brad, thanks so much! You saved me hours of time. In 7.5 I just select a large amount of anim clips and drag them in to the scene. MB then asks if I wish to save each. It then saves each one back on itself. Now they load right up in 2009. Thanks again :)

great, glad it worked for you. I hope that they update the FBX converter to do this because I have tons of old files that need to be updated forward… ug.
