Trouble Grabbing poses from Animate

Jayfeather

I'm going to try to cover all the bases in describing my workflow.  My project requires me to reduce the animations to 8 frames each.  I select the more dramatic frames that emphasize the extent of each motion in a given animation.

1. Load a Genesis 1 based character.

2. I select the aniblock I want to use and add it to animate timeline.  

3. I switch to the Timeline and place Keyframes on the Frames I want to use.

4. I save only those frames, one at a time as individual poses.

5. Reload that character, without the anibock data and apply each pose as a frame in the timeline.

Theoretically I would have condensed the aniblock to just the frames I want to use,  but for some reason I don't get the exact poses I had selected from the original animation.  What should have included key moments in a sword slashing sequence now look like the character is waving the sword around with no particular purpose in mind.  I am I missing something here?
