import/export animation data

Hi,
I made a running animation using rigify that I am satisfied with, but I want to use the same animation on another character.
Wondering how to import/export the animation data from one character to another. The import/export BVH file doesn’t seem to work for me.
I’m very new to Blender, so if you answer, please type slowly! :slight_smile:

I’m pretty sure if you just simply use
File > Append > then browse to the file > then load the Armature…
and > load the Action… (which there should be an Action if you have saved your file with the animation in it…

then that should do it…
