Why wont my BVH download from Mixamo work on my Daz figure?

My trial with the free injured walk is not working on my end.
I was able to upload my Daz figure and successfully map joints, but the downloaded files (I tried BVH and FBX) are not working in my applications.
I know how to apply BVH animations from other sources, just select the characters hip object and import the BVH, but the mixamo BVH is not working.
I am using Daz studio, and can use Poser and render in those packages, but ultimately I would like render the animation in Cinema 4D, maybe by using interPoser.
Will Mixamo work in this pipeline?
Can the downloaded BVH and/or FBX files work in Daz or Poser?

    Dear Christopher,

    Good news for you!
    Mixamo animations also work perfectly with DAZ3D, Poser and Cinema4D.

    What you need to do is the following:

    DAZ3D
    1. Select your character in DAZ Studio
    2. Export bvh (with default options)
    3. Upload on Mixamo (most likely it will automap)
    4. Download bvh
    5. Import bvh in DAZ Studio (with default options)
    6. Done!
    (We tested with DAZ Studio 3.0)

    Poser
    1. Select your character in Poser
    2. Export bvh (with default options)
    3. Upload on Mixamo (most likely it will automap)
    4. Download bvh
    5. Import bvh in Poser (with default options)
    6. Done!
    (We tested with Poser 7 and 8)

    Cinema4D
    Attached the workflow. We will post it on the website shortly.

    Please let me know if you have any problem.
    If you are still struggling with the file import feel free to send me
    your original file together with the version of the software package
    you are using.
    Thanks!

    Have a great day!!

    Stefano

    Ok, thanks. I wasn't able to get the injured walk motion to work, but you encouraged me that it was possible so I tried again with the jumping motion and it worked :)
