Did you see the Sim Wise on the Add Ons page? Don 't know about animations but claims to have motion.
Check https://www.alibre.com/forum/index.php?threads/motion-studies.21013/post-134871
User IDSLK would probably be able to assist. There are probably some tweaks to the script such as strategic sleeping that would make the result optimal. You can append screenshot scripts to output the file each step to get an image list. Various software converts imagelists to an avi, for example.
I don't know what you mean by "rotated around" but try the Gyroscope tool. It spins the view itself around until you stop it. If this is the effect you want, you can just record the screen with Camtasia or some other screen recorder.

if you have questions to the script max has linked, feel free to ask.
If you only need a 720 degree rotation you could also try the appended script ("ziped" becouse .pyp can not be uploaded...) with "run as protected"

I get the same results for part and assembly. I can tolerate it for about 5 seconds then I get dizzy.

How did you get your Assembly to do the Michael Jackson spin-dance thing?
Like Stephan mentioned, my assembly workspace doesn't have that button. It only exists in my part workspace.
In the part workspace, mine spins normally.

as i stated before...
but not everybody has activated the menu. Some people are using only the ribbon and there it is not available for assemblies...

Your post shows to have occurred at 5:18pm,
Harold's at 5:19pm I suspect you two were typing at the same time.
I agree with your point. If it's available in the menu, there's no good reason for it to not exist on the ribbon in the assembly workspace, when it does in the part workspace.
Perhaps he shouldn't have made the part so aerodynamic!
@Max is there a way to control the speed of the Gyro tool?
I don't remember it spinning so fast.
No, and I'm not sure why it would spin that fast especially for some people but not others. I'll ping dev about it.

Does it do that with all of your models?

Sounds like the frame time is dependant on the time it takes to process each frame rather than it being controlled and driven by a delta time. That was one problem with early game animation that used to go all out to achieve animation .... only for newer faster machines to speed up! I'm sure dev will sort it. Would be interesting if Alibre had a frames per second indicator to see what effect processor speed had on update rates.
