    Hello Im not speak english but I will try put my problem here

    I did a character rig in after effects with null objects, but now,my problem is
    I have a lot layers that I must drive with position and rotation,and I must move this keys all time in the time line

    Is there a posibility move an put alot keys,with only one layer?

    For example one layer, one only layer that it could drive the spine of my character

    Is there a script?
    Is there a plugin?

    Search google for “after effects character rigging” and you’ll find a lot of info. There’s a script called RigIt that rigs the character and creates a layer with controls.

    You might consider something like Toon Boom if you’re going to do a lot of cartoon animation.

    Thanks

    But, even I have problem , I used a similar script,called Duik, and my
    bosses said,the movements are very laterals,
    they miss shrink and stretch of the classical animation

    Is possible with this script to do shrink and stretch?

    AE is probably not the right software for the type of animation you are trying to achieve. You might consider something like Toon Boom if you’re going to do a lot of cartoon animation. You could try using the puppet tool in AE to get the stretching effect, but I think it would be difficult to use on a rigged character.

    If you just want to physically move the position of keyframes left and right in the timeline try this script:

    If you want to adjust the values of keyframes try this script:
