Keep Move AI, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Move AI you would be making a video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $216 a year.
What you could not
- A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Unreal Engine, Unity and Maya among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Move AI’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Move AI?
Move AI makes motion capture without suits or markers. Move One turns video from a single iPhone camera into 3D animation, and Genesis is an enterprise multi-camera system that runs on a studio's own Nvidia GPU. Animations export to formats such as FBX, USDC and Blender files. It is a motion tool, not an image generator.
Worth knowing
- Move One is an iPhone app; the docs list no Android app.
- Past the monthly credits, extra use is billed per credit, but the rate page the docs point to returned an error.
- Prices are listed plus VAT, and extra credits need an active subscription.
- Genesis needs 6 to 12 cameras and an Nvidia GPU, and its price is not published.
Key features
- Single-camera capture
- Move One records with an iPhone and turns the 2D video into 3D motion data. One credit animates one person for one second at the first generation.
- Move Platform
- A web platform with a gallery view and single-file upload for processing and managing takes, alongside the iOS app.
- Export formats
- Exports FBX, USDC, USDZ and Blender files, with guides for Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, Cinema 4D and Nvidia Omniverse.
- Genesis multi-camera system
- An enterprise system using 6 to 12 Z cams and one Nvidia GPU, run on the studio's own premises for unlimited capture.
- Timecode support
- Genesis syncs captures to a master clock so motion data lines up with a production pipeline.
