How to make multiple clips FBX with maya

Keyword(MAYA, FBX, XNA)

Recently, I am doing one final year project with some students, and there is a requirement about generating multiple clips FBX(Film Box) file with MAYA. The reason why we have this question is we can not find a way to export the multiple clips FBX file from MAYAdirectly. In default, only one clip which default name is "Take 001" is included no matter how many clips the original Maya file contains.

By some research, I find one way to solve this problem. First of all, export the clips one by one with MAYAinto separate FBX file. Secondly, open all of the files with text editor. In each file, go to ";Takes and animation section", rename your clip name from " Take: "Take 001"" to your wanted name, for example, " Take: "Your clip1"", and copy " Take: "YOUR CLIP NAME" {.....}" into takes section of your first FBX file. By the same way, you can rename and add the rest clips into first FBX file. When this procedure is done, save the first FBX file. Finally, we can get the multiple clips FBX file.

To test it, you can use XNA and load the model with Animation Processor.
