Animated characters move chaotically

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me and I do appologize if this has been covered before. I have been using Daz for years now and have always struggled with one problem, whenever I try to do any kind of turning or flipping kind of animation, the character flies all over the place or flips the wrong way before landing at the next keyframe. This makes trying to get smooth animations very difficult. I could move the character frame by frame myself, but I don't think that is the purpose of Daz. I have included a couple links for examples.

This is the raw animation right out of Daz after rendering the whole scene:

And this is the animation after taking it into a video editor to chop out all the incorrect animations, leaving a messy, choppy video.

If Daz is not meant for complex animations like this, I will accept that, but if anyone knows how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

    I Strongly Suggest GraphMate for DS. You could then go in and Hand edit the rotations to follow the proper paths.

    I agree about Graphmate, it will really help you take control in these cases.

    So, I picked up Graphmate, but cannot figure out how to use. I can't get it to anything the videos show or anything helpful with an existing animation. If anyone is a real expert with this, please help.

    Thanks.
