Thanks yes these are exactly what I need. I have been fiddling with Spine a bit and it is pretty easy to use. I read somewhere that at some point Spine will be included as a plugin with UE4.
So I managed to create sprites properly :D. Now I’m trying to reverse where the character faces. Unreal automatically rotates the sprite by reversing the picture, provided the initial sprite is facing right. The one I had drawn was facing left, so when I move it’s going towards correct direction but doing it backwards
