   I use 2 scripts mainly. for timing. I have them as hotkeys so i can easily adjust my timing across my entire shot in the timeline timeSliderEditKeys addInbetween; (when you have a control selected, if you press this, it will add an empty frame to your animation, whereever your current frame is, effectively shifting your…

   Didn't think I had any awesome ones until I remembered that Pose to Shelf is a godsend. It's great when working on animation sets and you want to keep a pose between several different animations. Also allows for only copying a section of a pose! Check it out, its really neat! I'll usually end up making a couple of custom…

   Hi! I got linked to the Arc Tracker recently and began to wonder what more good plugins/scripts I have missed by now. So I was wondering what nifty plugins/scripts do you guys use to help you speed up the process? Any must-have plugins/scripts out there?

   I use Alt+w/e/r to reset values to 0 in my controllers. Inspired by Blender's alt+transform shortcuts. This works either by selection or current character set (which is default with no selection). This is very helpful when moving things around and to reset things back to default. Very useful for both rigging and animation.…

   I don't use anything too complex at the moment, just shortcuts mainly. Here are a couple I stole from Stephen Vyas(Thanks dude!) http://animatorsteve.weebly.com/mel-scripts.html

   Not to be rude, but we all sound like a bunch of lazy people. Love it :) I like my shortcuts but I haven't had the time to align them all closer together, might do that now hah slipsius - I only meant copy/paste/delete for keyframes, nothing else.

   For maya I use aTools, it’s basically a big tool box full of really helpful utilities. You can download it here: http://camiloalan.wix.com/atoolswebsite and see it in action here: [ame] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8OiM3StkUU&list=PLfRLKOiB6Sh7Ifv7Frngr5hYLgU-NtBYP&index=1[/ame]

   I too are a member of the holy church of add/remove inbtween. Seriously, hands down the best way to adjust timing that I know of. No fiddling around with expending the timeline and selecting keys to drag around. ALT+z and ALT+x is where it's at. Your're in a world of pain if you use shelfbuttons for this kinda stuff, makes…

    I use a really helpful free script called Parent Master ( http://www.paolodominici.com/products/zvparentmaster/ ), It's really great for quick and easy parenting of objects, passing things regularly from hand to hand, etc. It saves some time!
