Parenting the whole thing to a null and flipping the null is an easy place to start. Might be easier than pre-comping, since you might need to keep all of your keyframes local.

what about precomping, making it a 3d layer and flipping it on the y-axis? You could also time-reverse keyframes on a 2d layer, then scale the object(s) / precomp to a negative Y-value to flip it

I'm doing some simple cut-out style character animation with the Duik rig script. I'm running into situations where the character is changing his orientation to the camera.. facing left... then front, then turning and walking right. How do people do these transitions? Do you just swap out Right facing rig with Left facing rig? Or do you have all your body parts as precomps and then time-remap them to switch between these perspectives? I'm finding the rigging setup very time-consuming so i'm trying to find the most efficient way to do this..
thanks
