How to import FBX with camera motion?

I have some camera motions created in another program and exported as FBX file. How can I import this into VAM and apply them to the windowcamera so it will move the same way?

The FBX contains only a camera, it's motion keyframes and an empty object (basically a point) that represents where the ground was when the motion was recorded. It could be converted to other file formats if that makes this any easier.

Basically, I've recorded some video using an iPhone app called CamTrackAR that also records camera motion. If I can get the camera motion into VAM's camera I can create an animation of a VAM character that can be composited into the live video background so the character will be walking around in the real world.

I've already done this with a stationary camera but you have to figure out the camera angles and settings by eye which is a pain, and the camera can't move. You can see an example here Youtube Giant Woman Demo
