So I was hoping CC4 might have its own implementation that might be better suited for these animations. Indeed key frame reduction is typically something performed in the importing app however if you have a good nondestructive animation layer system it does not matter as editing the mocap happens on a layer separate from the (keyframe packed) base Unity appears to have such a system with its “Animator controller” system. I have never seen any FBX exporter that can reduce the frame count during export that is why most of the major 3DCC's have some sort of key frame culling feature.

Is there some way to apply keyframe reduction when exporting, to make the exported animations a bit more sane? What app are you importing you FBX files into?.

The FBX format has no way of indicating if the interpolation between two keyframes is linear, ease-in, ease-out, etc.
