Hello , i did check poser in YouTube and forums but mostly i seen people using it for still images while poser says it is powerful for animation too so i wonder if poser can be good for animation or it is only good for posing and rendering still images ? 

if i want making animation is poser 13 good choice ? 

also have anyone done animation with it if so i want to see their result please . 

I don't do a lot of animation but I have done some. Usually, I end up setting up my animation scene in Poser and rendering in Blender because it renders a little faster. Here are 2 I've done completely in Poser, except adding the sound. That was done in Davinci.

I don't do a lot of animation, I more set it all up and use each frame as a sprite for my game. But my intro is animated so you can see it all come together in this vid https://youtu.be/ohxGSV6XRtg?si=8WhXYv5GU0Zkedtg

These are rather large Gif's, so it may take some time to load them... Poser can do animations fairly easy. It is easy to deal with the keyframes, etc. The curve system for the keys is a bit different than some programs. But no harder to work with than other program. It doesn't support some thing you might expect it to thou, like fbx animation import and retargeting.

You can animate basically anything that is supported in Poser, fairly easily.

 

Short answer: Yes

This is the right-side video from the side-by-side video I poster earlier. Created and rendered with Poser13 Superfly.

This video was created in a couple hours from an existing scene, the couple in the pickup were doing 'something else' before I quickly switched in a replacement. 90% of the animation is keyed every 40th frame the other 10% is either 20 or 10, with the exception being the heads keyed every 5th frames(eye-blinks)...It doesn't take a gajillion keys for most actions, save your effort for most important parts and let Poser handle the interpolation.

Average render time was 5-7seconds per frame... This was  the right-half of a LQ preview/test video aimed at side-by-side viewing. Only a test.

PS: of course Youtube butchers the Quality of the video...LOL

Very nice videos. what software are you using for animated gifs?

Most of the time I use a really old version of Jasc Animation Shop, Version 3.11.... On longer ones that I can't do in an old program, I do them in the Blender with the video editor. I have a few other programs I can use as well, but usually go back to those two....

It absolutely is although not often shown to be.   Some of the coolest animations have been made using it despite some limitations.  Those limitations are something I've grown fond of.   Here's a few examples:

MontyOum's work (RIP):
-Haloid
-Icarus
-Dead Fantasy series
-Red Vs Blue Seasons 7, 8, 9 & 10 (its a machinema series, but the action scenes were mostly 1 guy done in Poser at first.  Some other help on later seasons.  I came in at S10)

Examples from RvB:

-RWBY Vol 1-3 (with a team) is probably the biggest nationally known production in the world to use Poser
(we mainly used Poser 2014 at the time, but not much has changed in the animation department over the years aside from added features and a few changes...still good)
The initial RWBY Red and White Trailers were only Monty, and then Black and Yellow was he and I tag teaming:

I have a couple goofy personal projects too:
Mega Man X Fanimation

Previs Dummies 1&2 (ugly but fun, just to focus on the animation side)

I'm still using it but have been too busy with animation work lately which requires Blender for the pipeline, but absolutely not done with Poser.  I much prefer doing animation in Poser over Blender, but there is a bit of knowledge for making use of it that can be a little scarce to come by unless you know people who know. 
All of the above mention projects did make use of original models, some game assets, products from DAZ and other places, all modified of course.
Hope that answers you question.

if you really get under the hood editing things in text and animating 2d things outside of poser to place on geometry, you can bring in fx animation.  I like to experiment with those.

Modifiers and bullet physics are fun too

Also an important note is that a lot of this is done with Poser's PREVIEW render. Posers OpenGL comic mode preview is made to mimic the tricks the were used in the early seasons of RWBY were rendered. That means rendering out animations takes minutes instead of hours (or days). If the style you're after is "ink and Paint" Poser is really good at that.
