Well, here are the mine
- Ramón's
Lost layer tool: No description, just amazing. It's a MUST HAVE.
- Rudiger's
Nude keys tool: Another MUST HAVE. It covers a big whole which AS has, the blindness you have between layers' keyframes.
-
Fazek's multiple tools: Great replacing of the normal tools, making them more intuitive and avoiding a lot of clicking. There are new fantastics tools too, like Replace line, Poligon or the Meshinstance layer script. This scripts were made on earlier 5 version, so it won't work good. Luckyly
here are the tools adapted by Synthsin for version 6+
- Heyvern's
Select keyed bones button: Simple but fantastic button. It selects the bones keyed on the current frame. I'm sure you won't believe how useful is it. It's on the first post of the thread.
- Mkelley's
Adjust colors tool: Fantastic tool to change all the independent colors of a layer at once. It has many options like Hue, Saturation, Bright, Alpha, etc. Amazing, for example, to make a pass from day to night.
- Rylanders
Two way ticket to frame zero button: Very simple and useful. You assign a key for the button and let's suppose you are on frame 32. Press the key and you will be on frame zero. Press the key again and you will be back on frame 32. It's fantastic for adjust or add things meanwhile animating.
- Ramón's
Split curve button: It works very similar to menu split curve script. The difference, it automatically adds one intermediate point between two or more selected points. No dialogs. So, if you add to your tool palette as a button with a shortcut, it will work fantastic for a fast work.
- Synthsin's
Single layer frame by frame button: A great script for make simple frame by frame. Sadly on version 6+ it doesn't work for filled shapes, but still working for strokes.
- Ramón's
Lip sync with actions menu: Ok, here I have to confess something embarrassing. I don't like switch layers for lipsync. I don't like the idea of having several layers just for a mouth. What if I want to change the lips color or stroke width? Must I change it on all layers inside the switch? What if I want to animate that parameters?
For all the crafty people like me, Ramón has the solution: instead of switch layers for the mouth movements, use actions! This script will let you to import the lipsync from papagayo to actions.
Download it clicking on the big HERE word on the last Ramón's post.

Crashcore's multiple menu scripts: a lot of very handy menu scripts. This scripts are old and many of them have been implemented as native features. They still being very useful on some cases, anyway.
There are other very cool I'm not listing, like Genete's 3d scripts, Genete's and Rudiger's Poses and Bone Morph dials scripts, or Ponismasher's new scripts.
Genete 3d scripts are awesome, but even when they can make more than the new 3d feature, it starts to feel obsolete in version 7 (which is great, because means SM take attention about the potential of a script like this as a native feature).
Poses and Morph dials scripts are simply great, but sadly my computer is too slow to work with them easily and now we have Blend Morph as a native feature, which, even when it's very far to the coolness of this two scripts (and even more far from Morph dials script, which is the poses ultra evolution), covers the basic need.
Ponismasher have became with new great ideas and scripts, which are awesome and simple. However, I have hadn't time to play a lot with them on serious projects, so I can't list them as members of my most used scripts (not yet).
Uf, what a big post.
PD: If you don't find any of the scripts you are looking for, don't forget to check on the scripts'
backup file.
I am a bit dissapointed with selgin's recommendations. I almost lost my job when I tried the Nude keys script in front of my boss.
lmao
