My current version of After Effects (Version 22.2.1 Build 3) doesn't seem to have Puppet Pin Tool when I look in Effects and Presets. The version I was working with before had it...did it stop being offered in this version? 

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Puppet Pin has never been in the Effects menu. It is a tool, like the selection tool. There are several icons. Ctrl/Cmnd+p will cycle through the tools until the one that looks like a pushpin comes up. That is the tool you use to begin a Puppet Pin animation. The other tools do different things to the puppet pin mesh. Check the Help files or use the Search Help field in the top right corner of After Effects to find more information and tutorials on using Puppet Pin.
