Hi Howard,
Out of curiosity, what makes you say that ProAnimator is one of the least intuitive AE plug-ins? Please also keep in mind that Making It Look Great 2 and 3 are based on After Effects and Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator. Making It Look Great 4 (out very soon) is based on AE, ProAnimator and 3D Flag; and Making It Look Great 5 will be After Effects based, with no specific 3rd Party Plug-ins.

“Somewhat? They are inseparably built around Pro Animator..”

I just wanted to chime in really quickly here. My title, Making It Look Great #3 is not a ProAnimator title. Although ProAnimator is a very powerful tool, there is no use of ProAnimator anywhere in any of the lessons. It is meant as a full broadcast design lesson. I did create a free tutorial for ProAnimator users to allow them to adapt the settings I did in Invigorator to the ProAnimator interface, and that is the extent of the connection to ProAnimator.

Other topics include working with color palettes, typography, in-depth exploration of the AE type animation tools, Trapcode Particular, Trapcode Form, AE Expressions, and a whole lot more. Just wanted to clear that up and say thanks to Robyn for the very kind words.

I also do onsite training with clients, or can offer a classroom setup in a local Adobe training center here in the Detroit area (motown = motion town!!).
