Can I import animation via FBX?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I noticed DAZ Studio has FBX as one of the file formats it can import.

Can DAZ Studio import motion capture animation via FBX, or is the FBX import only for geometry?

    FBX import is pretty sad and rather useless I find at best
    collada dae slightly better
    for motions BVH is best but need to match bones names and heirachy, editing in BVHacker can do this

    I have been trying to find BVH mocap files suitable for my project for a considerable amount of time now without much success. 90% of sites just have copies of the Carnegie Melon University mocap files, which are not much use to me. When I do find BVH mocap files, most of them distort Genesis to some degree, with a hefty majority making Genesis look like he has been in a horrifying car wreck without a seatbelt on.

    I've pretty much exhausted the BVH option. I have seen some good looking animation as FBX and I am hoping I can use them.
