Even after several years, I'm still pretty new to Daz Studio, unfortunately.
I decided to start looking into animation finally. However, I immediately ran into a wall.
Where, exactly, ARE the animation tools?
Several tutorials say it should be in the lower left hand corner, but I look, and click on everything I see, and no such tools pop up.
If anyone knows the answer, or a link to a beginners tutorial that shows where everything is in Daz 4.22 and how to use it, I would be very grateful.

Window -> Panes (Tabs) -> Timeline will get you started. DS is lacking in animation tools compared to other programs like Blender, Maya, Houdini et al, though some vendors have created add-ons to replicate different functionalities.
Ah, Thanks for the answer ^_^
Wish it was just an easy to find tab, but as you said, they don't seem to make it simple to use (doubt I have the resources for animation, but we will see).
You can save your layout so that the timeline (and Animate) are always there for you.
