Hi Tim I too am using Daz aniMate  to make nonlinear combinations of motions
and exporting to poser so I must ask:
Any particular reason you are exporting to the archaic BVH and not using the FREE "poser format exporter" from DAZ to export your baked aniMate motions as animated pose files (PZ2)???

BVH will always Create a keyframe for every channel for every frame wether it has animation or not

here is a screen shot of the dope sheet from a V4 animation I did this afternoon

as you can see since there was no facial  animation in my shot the PFE left all those channel void of key frames (grey)

the PFE and PZ2 is Far superior to BVH  IMHO.
