MochaImport
Imports Mocha tracking data into After Effects in whatever way you want. You can, for example, create a precomp with a stabilized version of your footage such that all changes you do in the precomp are automatically also applied to the original

Chameleon – the Adobe Kuler color theme browser
work with color themes from Adobe Kuler directly in After Effects.
If you apply a new color theme to your composition, all linked colors update automatically.

Tracker2Mask
is great for tracker-assisted rotoscoping. Just track one or a few points in the object that you want to mask and let Tracker2Mask move the mask accordingly. In contrast to other approaches, you don’t need one trackpoint for each maskpoint.

KeyTweak
modify for a property all keyframes in the workarea simultaneously. You can also fade your changes in and out over time smoothly. By that you can easily modify properties with hundreds of keyframes.
