Export view animations to LumenRT

Question

I have a large city model with multiple camera animations along paths for each street. These are set up as scripts in Microstation's Animation Producer. 
 When exporting to LumenRT, only one of these scripts come through as the "Imported Clip" - where are the others? 
 Also, where are Microstation's Saved Views, which should come through as Imported Clips? 
 
 Thanks,

Hi Max, 
 Here are the steps I used to get both of your animations into a single LumenRT file: 
 
 In MicroStation the SOUTH-NORTH script was active in the Animation Producer 
 Export to LumenRT 
 In LumenRT rename Imported Clip, (I renamed it NS) 
 Save and Close LumenRT 
 In MicroStation open WEST-EAST script in the Animation Producer 
 Export to LumenRT 
 In LumenRT rename Imported Clip, (I renamed it WE) 
 Save in LumenRT 
 
 Now both animations are in LumenRT. Renaming Imported Clip makes that name available again for the next exported clip from MicroStation. 
 While this worked, it is not a perfect solution. I didn't get any saved views exported to LumenRT. 
 I think you may loose the ability to export saved views if you also have an active script because LumenRT uses Imported Clip as the destination of saved view exports and animation script exports. This only allows one script or one set of saved views to be exported to LumenRT 
 What Bentley should do: When you export from MicroStation it should give you an imported clip for each script with the same name as each original script and create a clip called Imported Views with each keyframe named for the MicroStation saved view it represents.
