Hello,

I would like to create natural motion animation and I realize it's not as simple as I thought: after hours of work, my animation does not seem natural. And I have many animations and many characters to animate! I'm not animator and can't afford to have one working for me (for the moment).

Any advice to facilitate work?

It would be so helpful to import a video file in background so we'd just have to reproduce the animation!

Thanks!

you can render the movie to a .png sequence, and add all its frames under a single slot, then animate the visibility of each frame, so on timeline frame 1, sequence frame 1 is visible, on frame 2 you animate sequence frame 2 to be visible and so on.. then you have a "video" in spine.
If you have many frames in the png sequence this can get tedious to do by hand, I remember there was a script that created a json file that spine can read and do it automatically..
I think it's here: spine_sequence.py - Add image sequences to a Spine skeleton
