Thanks, I love to hear about how people are doing animation with DAZ Studio (and Poser too, I'm not that picky). 

I recently had this long fight with trying to add on some key framed motion to the end of an aniblock.  I couldn't easilly get the characters feet to stay planted.  I fought the good fight and it came out all right, but then I remembered DAZ Studio does have a pinning feature, ActivePose.  It's kind of underused and the documentation on it is very weak.  Had I remembered it (I had seen it before but never really used it much) I could have saved myself so much grief it isn't funny.

I recommend always rendering animations to images and assembling them later.  The way DS does movie files is prone to errors, espcially since some video of windows codecs are flakey.  Rendering to images makes it much easier to re-start a render and to fix things later.

Thanks again for sharing.
