From Slider to smooth Animation

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I'm new to Daz3d. So, please forgive my ignorance.

On the right-hand side is a slider named "Mouth Smile"

When use the slider, I see a smooth transition from the neutral face of my Genesis 3 character to a smiling face. How do I add that smooth transition to my animation timeline? 

I would like the animation to also smoothly transition from 0.0% "Mouth Smile" to 100% "Mouth Smile". How do I do that?

    On the timeline [work with perspective view, not the camera atm] set the figure as you wish and with "0" on the smile ... at location say "0" or "1".

    Then move the time scrubber line over a bunch, maybe to 30 and dial in the smile to "100".

    Then return to the beginning of the timeline and hit the triangle to "play" the animation.

    When you find the area you want framed for the animation, at zero position make the camera.

    Then turn the view to be through the camera and render out the animation as a series of still images. Those can then be knit together in a video editor to become part of the movie clip.

    Thank you, Admiral James T. Kirk. It worked! 

    Now, my and my character's Mouth Smile has gone to 100%.
