Puppeteer is one of those greatly under utilised tools, I use it on hair and clothing movement a lot too, one can orchestrate it to match movements, the only issue I do have with it is it seems to slow down in key frames it creates as it progresses so have to do it much longer than my original animation, it also goes too fast for fine tuning.

Puppeteer is the single best tool for storing poses/shaping new characters, as well for short animations! it's my most used tool!

Indeed it very quickly bakes hundreds of keyframes
that are not really "edit friendly" unless you use the free
Mass culling script from Mcasual to reduce them down for managable fine tuning with graphMate.
