I love using Puppeteer. I've actually been using Puppeteer with the manuals ever since it came out. I just recently received the manuals. There is a work flow you have to follow. When you do it becomes a very easy interface to work with. I've been on the beta list since day one. On you question about customizing motion files. You can add motion to motion. If you have a character just walking and you wanted to add a separate motion to the hands and arms you can interpolate the motion. Then if you want to do some face motion like talking and blinking eyes' you can add it to the existing motion puppet. Puppeteer allows now vertex deformation. Not on the mesh face level , but the vertex level. This adds more control on deformations. You can add tell your hearts content. I hope this information helps any more questions please ask.
