Very amusing.

For the Key Skeleton and Key All tools, you select the tool, and click on the stage. That creates the keys. Key skeleton applies keys only to the bone channels, and only on the currently selected layer. Key All applies keys to almost all channels, on all layers.

Very nice visuals in a style that brings honour to this venerable recording that I remember from my youth.

I've uploaded a collection of JS's tools, including Key Skeleton and Key All, to Sendspace. As with most upload space services, it will be deleted after 30 days of no downloads.

I'm still hoping for the permanent script file repository to come to fruition.

One thing I noticed when I tried out the Layer Trail script is that it creates keyframes on the point motion, shape fill, and shape outline channels. Only the shape outline channel keys appear to be necessary, as I deleted all the keyframes on the point motion and shape fill channels, and the writin...

That looks like a great tool! I never knew what I'd use that tool for before. The way I'd always done it before was to have all the writing complete on a layer, and use an animated mask layer to gradually reveal it as the pen/brush moved over the lines.

That was a very interesting report. Thanks for sharing it.

Are you saying that this is the wrong thing to do, and that the recommendations are unwarranted?

I found this animation to be darkly funny. Especially his imagining of her "suicide".

I sometimes shoot video of myself acting out a scene, but it has nothing to do with the timing, for me. I just do it to find some good poses, expressions, or gestures.

You can also alt-right-click in the timeline (on the part that shades blue for your number of frames) to make the animation end wherever you click.

Very nice, with the lighting and effects. This story seems to have plenty of scope!

That appears to have worked perfectly! My problems are solved. Thank you!

I like the separate hotkeys myself, and I find the buttons to work fine that way. So are you saying I could edit the script and tell it to ignore any layer named "mouth"? If so, does that also ignore keys on its children? Still, the problem would remain that I want it to nudge the bone key...
