Wait, is AC3 for character animation? Yes. The tool allows you to quickly change the origin point of a limb (e.g., moving a hand's rotation point from the wrist to the elbow) without breaking the position. This is a massive time saver for simple puppets.

: A redesigned easing tool that allows for one-click control over keyframe velocity.

Motion 4 is better for organizing your project panel. Overlord is mandatory for illustrators. But for actual animation speed —getting things moving fast— Animation Composer 3 is the king of presets.
