Visibility Manager is a very useful tool if you work with
visibility tracks. It's default controller is On_Off -
it is hardly configurable. VisiMan script lets you automatically
convert On_Off controller to Bezier_Float controller. Second part
of this script lets you quickly and easily add some fading effect
to object's appearing and disappearing.

Additional Info: 

How to use:
To convert on_off track into Bezier track just pick object - or
click Get Selected. If multiple objects are selected - all of
them will be converted.
Second part is designed to work with previously converted tracks.
To manage keys - pick object in second part of the script - or click
Get Selected (only one object should be selected). Script then
reads info from object's visibility track and lets you select keys
for manipulation (Face Key). For better visualization open Track
View in Function Curve mode and select the visibility track.
Fade Time defines how much time will the fade take.
Fade Mode buttons lets you decide where the new keys will be added:
....| means that it will be added before current key;
..|.. means that selected key will be slightly moved - and the new
key will be added slightly before it;
|.... means that new key will be added after current key.

Fade Tools:
Copy Keys buttons let you copy visibility track keys from one object
to another (it works like copy/paste function in Track View)
Invert Keys button lets you invert the visibility track of any object.
