AnimAide

Actively maintained fork — Updated for Blender 5.1+ compatibility.
Original addon by Ares Deveaux. Continued here by augmero.

For full documentation refer to the Manual

In contrast to modeling, when animating there are not that many options to manipulate keys on an f-curve the way you can with vertices on geometry. That is where AnimAide comes in.

AnimAide opens the door to new possibilities — a wider range of tools where each f-curve operates in its own local space when working with a group of curves. This kind of toolset is standard in the game and film industry.

Curve Tools

Simultaneously manipulate keys across multiple f-curves from animated objects or armature bones. Tools work in the Graph Editor, Dope Sheet, and 3D Viewport.

Available tools: Blend Ease, Blend Frame, Blend Infinite, Blend Neighbor, Blend Default, Blend Offset, Ease, Ease to Ease, Scale Average, Scale Left, Scale Right, Shear Left, Shear Right, Push Pull, Time Offset, Tween, Smooth, Wave-Noise, Randomize (new)

Anim Offset

Modify any animated object and have the change propagate across the animation range. Supports a mask for fine-grained control. Available in all animation editors; mask option is Graph Editor only.

Key Manager

Speeds up common key-editing tasks with extra options:

• Move / Insert — Move keys in time or insert frames between them by a set amount
• Type — Assign, select, unselect, or delete keys by Blender key type (Keyframe, Breakdown, Jitter, Extreme)
• Interpolation — Quickly assign interpolation types to key handles, individually or across all selected keys
