Did U try the pupeter panel. It work by setting up poseses and adding a dot to the graph on pupeteer panel then aranging the dots in a way that when U move your mouse over the dot the actor moves to that position by tweening. U can move the dot around once U have them setup whith the pose in a way that's comfortable to U. U can pactice your move on the graph with the dots setting up your timing then record your actions once U have it down pat.
U can output the files as sequentle files and put them in any movie editor to piece them in to a gif. I use Photoshop's ImageReady to make the gifs.
There's a tutoral on the DAZ site using the Girl and expresions presets. There is also a Utube video where one of the DAZ people shows off the pupiteer with the emotionicon, he makes it dance.
What's really cool about this is U control the timing as you move over the dots U can go to any dot and the actor will tween between them at the speed you move over the dots, so play some music and move at the beat of the song how cool is that.
