Spec score 9.1 #1 of 27 in AI Motion Capture Software

What it is

Move AI describes its products as markerless motion-capture systems that use AI to create motion data. Move One is an iPhone app that turns single-camera video into 3D animation. Its free plan provides 30 credits once, which do not expire, for videos up to 30 seconds. Starter costs $18 a month, billed at $18/month plus VAT, and includes 60 credits per month for videos up to 60 seconds. Other listed tiers are Standard at $48 a month, Plus at $225 a month, and Advanced at $490 a month. Genesis processes motion data on premises through a desktop application using Nvidia GPUs. It requires one Nvidia GPU and 6–12 Z CAM cameras and lenses; listed capture capacity is 1–8 people in volumes of 4 × 4 meters or 20 × 20 meters. Genesis can process RGB or grayscale feeds from many existing Vicon or OptiTrack systems and integrates with Peel Capture for camera control, start and stop commands, file naming, and project management. Output formats include FBX, BVH, GLB, USDZ, Blender, C3D, JSON, and MP4 previews. Move AI says it does not actively try to identify people in video, motion data, or output files.

Strong points and limits

Strong points

  • Move One captures motion with a single iPhone camera.
  • Free credits do not expire.
  • Genesis supports capture for 1–8 people.
  • Genesis integrates with Peel Capture.

Limits

  • Free plan videos are limited to 30 seconds.
  • Monthly credits do not roll over.
  • Genesis requires an Nvidia GPU and 6–12 Z CAM cameras.

Who it suits

Move One suits iPhone users creating 3D animation from video, while Genesis is aimed at motion-capture setups with the specified Nvidia GPU and camera equipment. Existing Vicon or OptiTrack users may also consider Genesis for processing camera feeds.

Move AI in depth

Read the full write-up

Move AI turns video into motion data through two distinct workflows: Move One captures with an iPhone, while Genesis processes multi-camera feeds on premises. It suits animators who need short clips or production teams with a dedicated capture setup. The trade-off is clear: accessible single-camera capture comes with tight credit and clip limits, while Genesis demands specialist hardware.

Overview

Move’s markerless, AI-powered systems produce motion data for animation workflows. Move One creates 3D animation from iPhone video; Genesis handles larger capture setups locally on an Nvidia GPU. They are not interchangeable entry points: Move One is the practical option for individuals, while Genesis is designed for equipped capture spaces.

Key features

Capture at two scales

Move One uses a single iPhone camera. Paid plans accept clips up to 60 seconds, which suits brief movements and animation shots but rules out longer takes; the free plan cuts that limit to 30 seconds. Hand tracking and motion transfer are supported, but Move AI does not create AI characters, edit scenes, or turn images into animation.

Genesis supports capture for 1–8 people in volumes of 4 × 4 or 20 × 20 meters. That capacity is useful for larger performances, but comes with a substantial setup requirement: one Nvidia GPU and 6–12 Z CAM cameras and lenses. For teams already using Vicon or OptiTrack motion-capture cameras, Genesis can process RGB or grayscale feeds from many existing systems, reducing the need to replace a working camera setup.

Pipeline and output

Genesis integrates with Peel Capture for camera control, shared start and stop commands, automated file naming, and project management. Exports include FBX, BVH, GLB, USDZ, Blender, C3D, JSON, and MP4 previews. That breadth gives production teams multiple ways to carry motion data into downstream work.

Privacy and security

Move says it does not use video, motion data, or output files to actively identify people. It also describes safeguards against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access or changes, while acknowledging that internet transmission cannot be guaranteed completely secure.

Pricing

Move AI is freemium. Free costs nothing and provides 30 credits once; they do not expire, and videos can be up to 30 seconds. This is a useful way to try short clips, but the one-time allowance is not a recurring monthly quota.

Paid plans are billed monthly plus VAT and raise the clip limit to 60 seconds:

Starter: $18 a month for 60 credits/month. The lowest-cost paid tier fits occasional short captures, but its quota is modest.

Standard: $48 a month for 180 credits/month. This is the more practical step up for regular use.

Plus: $225 a month for 240 credits/month. The price rises sharply for a relatively small increase over Standard, so it needs to suit a higher-volume workflow.

Advanced: $490 a month for 700 credits/month. This is the highest listed allowance for frequent use.

Monthly credits do not roll over, so unused quota is lost at the end of the month. Additional credits require an active monthly subscription. Genesis pricing is custom pricing, making it a separate commercial proposition from the self-serve Move One plans.

Platforms

Move AI lists iOS, web, and a Chrome extension for its platform support. The wider platform listing also includes API, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted; Genesis processing runs on premises through a desktop application. Real-time capture is not supported.

Who it's for

Move One is best for animators and creators who can work with short iPhone clips and a monthly credit allowance. Genesis is the better fit for production teams that need multi-person capture, larger volumes, or compatibility with existing Vicon or OptiTrack cameras—and can supply the required GPU and cameras. Neither is a strong fit for users who need real-time capture or image-to-animation.

Pros and cons

Pros: Genesis supports up to eight people and 20 × 20-meter volumes, with integration for Peel Capture and broad export options.

Pros: Genesis can process feeds from many existing Vicon or OptiTrack systems, which can preserve value in an established capture setup.

Pros: Move One has a free tier with credits that do not expire, making occasional short captures possible without a monthly commitment.

Cons: Genesis needs an Nvidia GPU and 6–12 Z CAM cameras and lenses, placing it beyond most casual setups.

Cons: Move One's monthly credits expire without rollover, and even paid clips stop at 60 seconds.

Cons: The Plus plan costs $225 a month for 240 credits, only 60 more than Standard.

Alternatives

Verdict

Choose Move AI if you need markerless motion capture and your work fits either brief iPhone clips or a properly equipped Genesis studio. Its strongest case is the range from single-camera capture to a capable multi-person pipeline with flexible exports. Look elsewhere if you need real-time processing, longer clips, or predictable carryover of unused monthly credits.

Verdict

Move AI offers a single-camera app alongside an on-premises system for larger capture setups. The Genesis hardware requirements and Move One credit and clip limits define distinct starting points.
