Move One
Move One turns single-camera iPhone video into 3D motion data for animation.
What Move One is
Move One turns single-camera iPhone video into 3D motion data for animation. Move.ai describes the technology as AI-powered and markerless, aimed at studios and creators. Processing uses credits: Gen 1 consumes one credit per person-second, while Gen 2 consumes two. The free plan includes 30 one-time credits that do not expire and supports videos up to 30 seconds; paid plans allow recordings up to 60 seconds. Move One accepts MP4 input and exports FBX, USDC, BLEND, USDZ, MP4, and biomechanics output. That output includes per-frame joint positions, rotations, torques, and reaction forces. Single-camera uploads also support MOV and AVI files up to 1GB, with 60fps Full HD recommended for best results. A Chrome extension sends captured motion data to a PC using a code generated on the iOS device. A Blender plugin imports Move One animations directly but supports FBX files only. Documentation covers importing or retargeting animations in NVIDIA Omniverse, Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, and Cinema 4D. Plans include Free at no cost and paid options from $18 a month, billed $18/month plus VAT.
