Upload a Clear Video
For full-body capture, keep the performer visible from head to feet with good lighting, low motion blur, and minimal occlusion.
Markerless Motion Capture
Turn ordinary video into editable 3D body, hand, and facial motion. QuickMagic uses computer vision instead of reflective markers, wearable sensors, a mocap suit, or a calibrated multi-camera studio.
Try Now →What Is Markerless Motion Capture?
Markerless motion capture uses computer vision and machine learning to estimate a person's body pose and movement frame by frame from ordinary RGB video. The tracked skeleton can become editable 3D motion for animation, visualization, research, and humanoid workflows.
Unlike traditional optical mocap, markerless motion capture does not require reflective markers, wearable sensors, or a calibrated camera array. Clear visibility, stable footage, suitable lighting, and limited occlusion help produce stronger results.

How to Create 3D Motion Without a Mocap Suit
Upload clear footage, configure capture settings, then preview and export reusable 3D motion.
Configure Markerless Motion Capture
Select the subject, full-body or upper-body workflow, frame rate, static or moving-camera mode, and cleanup settings.
Preview and Export
Inspect the tracked skeleton, review global movement and contacts, then export an available format for further editing.
From Human Video to Tracked 3D Skeleton
QuickMagic analyzes visible human movement frame by frame, estimates body pose, solves temporal motion, and produces editable skeletal animation that can be retargeted to compatible characters and humanoid rigs.
Markerless Motion Capture for Real Production Workflows
Track Full-Body and Upper-Body Motion
Capture dance, sports, acting, gestures, locomotion, and action reference from an ordinary RGB video. Use full-body framing for head-to-feet movement or an upper-body workflow when the shot is tighter.
Work with Single or Multiple Performers
Process supported single- and multi-subject footage. Keep each performer visible, reduce prolonged overlap, and avoid subjects leaving the frame to improve identity and pose continuity.
Handle Static and Moving Cameras
Choose the appropriate camera mode for locked-off footage or supported moving-camera shots. Review global movement carefully when footage includes camera shake, rapid viewpoint changes, or occlusion.
Retarget Motion Across 3D Pipelines
Export available body-motion formats and presets for Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, 3ds Max, MotionBuilder, Cascadeur, iClone, MMD, Roblox, digital humans, and supported humanoid workflows.

Markerless Motion Capture FAQ
What is markerless motion capture?
Markerless motion capture uses computer vision and machine learning to estimate human body pose and movement from video and convert it into reusable skeletal motion data.
How does markerless motion capture work?
The system detects visible body landmarks frame by frame, estimates 3D pose, solves motion over time, and maps the result to a digital skeleton.
Do I need a motion capture suit or special camera?
No. A phone, webcam, DSLR, or standard camera can provide suitable footage. QuickMagic does not require markers, sensors, depth hardware, or a mocap suit.
What video gives the best markerless motion capture results?
Use stable, well-lit footage with the performer clearly visible, limited motion blur, and minimal long-term occlusion. Keep the subject visible from head to feet for full-body capture.
Can QuickMagic track more than one person?
QuickMagic supports multi-subject workflows for suitable footage. Keep each person visible and avoid prolonged overlap or leaving the frame.
Can markerless motion capture work with a moving camera?
Moving-camera footage is supported for selected workflows. Camera shake, rapid viewpoint changes, and occlusion can reduce tracking stability.
What can markerless motion capture be used for?
Uses include character animation, games, virtual production, digital humans, motion analysis, research, previs, humanoid simulation, and embodied AI workflows.
Can I edit and retarget the tracked motion?
Yes. Exported body motion can be cleaned, edited, and retargeted in compatible animation software and 3D engines.
Which export formats and 3D tools are supported?
QuickMagic supports FBX and workflow-specific formats and presets including BVH, BIP, VMD, Mixamo, Unreal, Character Creator/iClone, Roblox, and more. Availability varies by plan and workflow.
What affects markerless motion capture accuracy?
Visibility, lighting, resolution, motion blur, occlusion, camera movement, subject overlap, floor contact, and the selected tracking settings influence the result.
