Animating from one pose to next

I am trying to get character to animate from one preset pose to next. The next pose when i click it shows pointing to opposite direction, but when i turn it correctly, then animate on time line, the character does about 2 flips to get to that position. I thought idea was Daz to get it fro one to another but it wants to flip it about. Is there a way to do this? Some poses work out well, but others want to place it wierdly.

Are you clearing the exisiting rotation or applying counter-rotation - both the hip bone and the figure node can be used to rotate the whole figure, pose presets should be using the hip.
how do you do that?
