Batch Processing

TakeForge is batch-first: every Content Browser action operates on the entire selection.

Multi-select in the Content Browser

Select any number of Animation Sequences → right-click → TakeForge → action.

• The options dialog appears once for the whole batch, not per asset.
• All sequences are processed with those settings; failures are collected and reported together at the end without aborting the rest.
• With Create New Assets on, every new copy is selected in the Content Browser when the batch finishes.
• One summary notification: "TakeForge: created 20 animations."

Per-action batch semantics

Action	On a multi-selection
Exact / Smoothed / In Place	Same settings applied to each - fully batch-safe
Make Loopable	Same blend window for each - batch-safe
Align Travel Direction	Each take measured and rotated individually - batch-safe
Retime to Speed	Every clip retimed to the same target speed ("all walks at 150")
Trim / Split	The same frame range / cut frames applied to all - only for uniform recordings
Check Take	Reports for the first 3 assets

caution

Trim ranges are inherently per-take. Batch-trim only when your recordings share a timeline (e.g. re-exports of the same take); otherwise trim one at a time.

Whole folders: editor Python

For unbounded batches, script it - every action is exposed via TakeForgeLibrary:

import unreal

assets = unreal.EditorAssetLibrary.list_assets("/Game/Mocap/Session04")
for path in assets:
    seq = unreal.load_asset(path)
    if isinstance(seq, unreal.AnimSequence):
        ok, err = unreal.TakeForgeLibrary.apply_root_motion(
            seq, unreal.TakeForgeMode.SMOOTHED_ROOT_MOTION)
        print(f"{path}: {'ok' if ok else err}")

The scripting functions modify the given asset directly - duplicate first (e.g. EditorAssetLibrary.duplicate_asset) if you want the non-destructive behavior of the menu actions.

Silent runs

Uncheck Show Options Dialog (in the dialog itself or Editor Preferences) to skip the per-action dialog and run everything with your saved settings - useful when you're processing the tenth folder of the day with identical parameters.
