  • I want to capture animations made with the trial version

Whether Capturing an Animation Created with the Trial Version Violates the Terms of Service

I have a question regarding creating animations using the trial version of Spine. Instead of exporting the animation, it is possible to capture the Spine workspace using another software and save it as a video, right? Is this action prohibited by the terms of service? I couldn't find any mention of this on the trial version's introduction page, so if anyone knows about the terms, please let me know. I understand that this action deviates from the intended purpose of the trial version. Please inform me whether this is explicitly stated in the terms of service, rather than providing guesses or personal opinions.

    Capturing the Spine workspace using another software and saving it as a video is not explicitly prohibited by the terms of service. The trial version of Spine is intended for evaluation purposes and does not allow saving or exporting animation data directly from the software. However, capturing the screen using external software to create a video does not violate the terms of service as long as it is used for evaluation and not for commercial purposes.

    The primary restriction is that the trial version cannot save or export animation data, and using the official Spine Runtimes in a product requires a valid Spine license. This is to ensure that the trial version is used solely for evaluation and not for production work.

    For more detailed information, you can refer to the Spine License Agreement and the Spine Trial FAQ.

    mako Basically, Spinebot's answer is correct. In fact, we have been asked similar questions before, but we obviously cannot give a definitive answer that it is okay to do so. In any case, it is not possible to save a Spine project, so we do not currently have any additional restrictions for users who try to manage to save animations created with the trial version in any way.

    By the way, you said you translated using AI, but this forum has a translate button and we can read your posts using it, so feel free to post in your native language.

        許諾契約書も改めて読み直します。

            mako 念の為補足させていただきますと、ライセンス使用許諾契約書の中の関連部分は セクション 1.4が該当します:

            1.4 Spine Trial. You are authorized to use the Trial version of the Spine Editor free of charge and exclusively for the purposes of testing and evaluating the Spine Editor.

            つまり、Spineエディターのテストおよび評価以外の目的で、Spineトライアルのビデオをキャプチャ (またはその他の使用) をすることは許可されていませんのでご注意ください。

              Misaki spineの良さを多くの人に知ってもらう、という目的で、「私の作ったspineプロジェクトファイルを配布して、第三者がspineのトライアル版を使用してプロジェクトファイルを自由にアレンジして発表してもらう」という催しをしたいと思っていました。
              ただ、トライアル版で作ったデータは商用利用ができないこと、トライアル版には保存やエクスポートができないことなどの注意事項があることも理解しなければならないな、と思いました。
