Mel script for selecting animated objects

[Morganism]

You could try my one:
http://morganloomis.com/download/ml_selectKeyed.py

It selects everything keyed within a hierarchy, though, not the whole scene.

I've also made myself something like that. You can choose between selecting all keyed objects at the current frame, or all keyed objects in the entire scene.

I've added a time management class to the Red9Studio pack that's in testing at the moment, a suite of tools aimed initially at the animator/tech animator. The Time node will allow you to offset the entire scene by X - thats all animation, audio, timelines and clips, looking at putting support for render settings in that too. It also has a selected only mode, so if you select a clip, a couple of audio nodes and a load of transforms, it'll work through them all and offset as appropriate.

If you want to give it a try, drop me a mail and I'll add you to the Alpha list.
