XprssnMagic comments?

There is no comments section that I found yet for products in the Shop Tab.
So I have a question about a product, XprssnMagic.
Expressions have been given me fits at times so if this application makes it easier it would be worth it.
But as I was reading the description I came across this:
"Copy and paste directly into Poser
Paste into DAZ Studio via the included XprssnMagic Importer 4 script "

Okay, so what is "Poser Paste" and is it saying I can use the Ap to get the expressions on DAZ or is there a middle program involved somehow?

    If you are only using Daz Studio, you can ignore the Poser part of the instructions. Poser is a separate -- and unless it's on sale, expensive -- program for doing 3D. In Studio, you will find the XprssnMagic copy-paste setting under Utilities:Scripts. Use that to get the expressions onto your figure.

    The Expression Magic tools run stand-alone, then you copy the settings to the clipboard. In Poser you just select the head and paste, but DS doesn't use the system clipboard when copying pasting settings so there you have to run a supplied script that opens a text box, you paste the results from Expression magic in there and click the Apply button.

    And it seems that after updating itself this morning, Avast has now decided the XprssnMagic .exe files are viruses and keeps trying to remove them from my system. After much loud and profane arguing with it, I finally got it to leave them alone. Don't know if anybody else has been getting false positives with Expression Magic and anti-virus programs, but you should be aware of it.

    Thanks, so I use DAZ only and it looks like it would be an easy way to get around those fits that expression give me sometimes. (Sometimes I get them perfect on my own, and other times I cant get it right for the life of me)

    Found Female expression magic completely useless.

    Why is that?

    Expressions are not extreme enough. Eyebrows hardly move.
    Although there is a long list of options they are very similar.
    Sorry—

    Well, I'm liking it. It pastes a similar expression over and over so I can show a crowd like at a baseball game and everyone is cheering or booing. Without going through and changing everyone's faces.
