Move AI Review
Markerless motion capture from an iPhone or a camera rig, exported as FBX or USD.
Visit Move AI →Bottom line
Move AI turns ordinary video from a single iPhone or a synchronized multi-camera rig into markerless motion-capture data, exported as FBX or USD for use in Blender, Maya, Unreal Engine and similar pipelines. The tool spans indie-friendly single-camera capture up to enterprise multi-camera and API workflows, but commercial use sits behind paid tiers and the higher-end plans are demo-led rather than self-serve, so real pricing and fit depend on a sales conversation we have not had.
Quick facts
Who it is for
Best for
- ✓Indie animators and game developers who want quick body and finger mocap from a phone
- ✓Virtual production and VFX teams comparing markerless capture against traditional suit-based systems
- ✓Studios or pipelines that want to integrate mocap processing directly via the API
Not for
- –Anyone needing free commercial output, since the no-cost tier is view-only
- –Android-only creators, since the capture app is iOS-based
- –Teams needing guaranteed frame-perfect crowd or multi-actor capture without planning a hardware setup
Pros and cons
Pros
- +Captures full-body plus hand and finger motion from just one phone, no suit or markers needed
- +Exports in FBX and USD, matching the formats most DCC apps and game engines already expect
- +Scales from a single-camera indie workflow up to multi-camera and enterprise capture paths
- +Offers a metered API for teams that want to fold processing into their own pipeline
Cons
- −The free plan is view-only, so any real commercial output requires a paid tier
- −The mobile capture app is iOS-only, which shuts out Android-based shoots
- −Top-tier and enterprise plans are described as demo-led with custom quotes rather than fixed self-serve pricing
- −Independent accuracy claims mostly come from third-party write-ups and vendor blogs rather than neutral lab testing

Our verdict
Move AI’s pitch is straightforward: film a performer with a phone or a small camera rig, upload the footage, and get back a rigged skeleton animation in FBX or USD without markers or a mocap suit. Coverage from industry outlets and the company’s own materials describes hand and finger tracking alongside full-body capture, and positions the product across a spread from a single-camera indie app up to a multi-camera ‘Genesis’ style enterprise offering with real-time and API options for studio pipelines. It has been referenced in game and music-video contexts, which suggests it is used well beyond hobbyist testing.
