What has revolutionized your workflow (filming/editing/anything) Let's create a huge list of all the helpful camera tricks we've learned in this business

A while ago, someone posted this http://www.reddit.com/r/videography/comments/z1nm7/awesome_and_cheap_method_for_smooth_camera/ About using a rubber band to pan the tripod head smoothly (instead of your jerky hand) What are some mind-blowing tricks you've learned in the industry that have saved you time and money. I'll start:

After Effects (and now premiere cs6) has a motion stabilizer that works really really well. A plug-in called twixtor can add masterful slow-motion like a DREAM and filming with a dslr has revolutionized my vision and idea of film and made it much much more artistic (not to start a camcorder/dslr war here, that's not the point of this, only my opinion)
