We've added an option 'Root Drives Pose Params' to the Import Sequence dialog that allows you to animate the rootTransform of your character, and the SFM will figure out how to animate the move_x and move_y pose parameters to make the character animate along that path. Don't forget that the is a great way of smoothing out motion speed while keeping the path intact, and have fun making guys run in circles!
