Using Spriter For non game animations

[RealMechIsLove]

Okay, so i'm interested in making animations using motion tweens/rigging. I came across spriter and enjoyed the simplicity and ease of use (im kinda one of those "old dogs who cant learn new tricks" type of people).

with just a basic tutorial i was able to get a basic animation done in an evening

But what i didn't understand at 1st is that this program is meant for making animations for games. Unfortunately i have no plans right now for making any video games (maybe much further down the road). while i dont know all the aspects of the program it seems like doing a "non game" animation is not really possible with this program.

i'm just gonna ask if there is a way to do animations with this program? (in the case that i'm missing something).

some features i think i would need for animation (let me know if these are possible on spriter pro or even on the upcoming spriter 2)

-able to save animations as videos?

-having multiple animated objects out at the same time (like if i need to have 2 characters beating each other up)?

-in relation to the last feature, if there is a way to copy a rig and its animation for a type of cloning (like if i need to have a bunch of horsemen all doing a charge at the same time)

-able to save animation without following the animated objects? (in other words i need to have animations walk off the "camera")

If these tasks are possible with the program then great, and i can go through the process of learning them after purchasing the programs.

If these things aren't possible then i guess i can look around for another program (mayve if i need to make static position animated gifs i can still use the base spriter program). Although i would appreciate any suggestions for any animation program you all would know of that is even remotely as easy to use as spriter.

@RealMechIsLove These are the sorts of things planned for Spriter 2. No new features will be added to Spriter Pro, so it's really not an ideal program for making fully animated scenes.

There are no new feature added in the spriter pro so its not a good program to making animated scenes.

But you could still use Spriter for simpler tasks like creating static GIFs.
