Really nice script.Would be
Really nice script.
Would be great to have more control over how long the animation should last.
Now you can just change the speed but maybe to give a visual approximation of how much frame it will take would be a plus.
Maybe to be able to control how long the animation should last without slowing / fasting the movement animation. So just to be able to place more faces at one given time.

Does this script work on animated deforming objects? Like a rigged character in action for example.

just by looking at it, that UI would never fit in my 22 inch screen. You should think about rearranging it or splitting it up into multiple rollouts so they can be minimized
