After finding a few scripts that have a magical way to do things faster (magical because I don't understand it yet), I'm going to dissect their methods. Fortunately the tools are available for free :)
The one that works great is aTools by Alan Camilo. His tool moves keyframes in the graph editor using an interactive slider, and it works beautifully with a lot of data. I really like the idea of controlling my own Undo's, especially if it'll give me more control. That's where I don't know how to proceed, so it sounds like tutorial season is on. I will be looking into OM through these tutorials: https://www.cgcircuit.com/course/introduction-to-the-maya-api https://www.cgcircuit.com/tutorial/maya-python-api Simon, do you know where else I should look to get into OM? Thank you again!
