Upload Group Footage
Open Video to Mocap and upload footage containing several people. The official guide lists Free uploads up to 10 seconds and 100MB.
AI Multi-Person Video Motion Capture
Convert one group-performance video into separate 3D motion tracks. QuickMagic automatically detects and boxes each person, lets you choose who to capture, and generates an independent editable animation for every selected performer.
Try Multi-Person Mocap →What Is Multi-Person Video Motion Capture?
Multi-person video motion capture, also called multi-person mocap or group video mocap, extracts several performances from the same ordinary video. QuickMagic detects every visible person, draws an individual selection box and generates a separate skeletal-animation track for each performer assigned to the task.
Use it for group dance, fight choreography, ensemble acting, sports drills and multi-character previs. QuickMagic reports roughly 70%–85% formation preservation; exact blocking and character-to-character contacts may still need adjustment after export.
- Detection

- Output
- Independent animation track per performer
- Format
- One shared output format per generation task
- Formation
- Approximately 70%–85% position preservation
- Capacity
- Up to 6 people depending on current plan
How to Capture Multiple People from One Video
Upload the group performance, confirm automatic detection, assign one output format to the performers and export their separate animation tracks.
Confirm and Assign
Verify every person is boxed, choose an available format and drag its card onto each performer you want to capture.
Process and Export
Click Next, allow extra processing time, then preview and export every independent animation result.
Multi-Person Capture Capacity by Plan
The official September 18, 2026 guide lists the following maximum number of people per capture.
| Plan | Maximum people per capture |
|---|---|
| Free | Single-person capture |
| Basic | 2 people |
| Pro | 3 people |
| Max | 4 people |
| Studio | 6 people |
Plan names, limits and availability can change. Check the current QuickMagic account and pricing interface before committing a production workflow.
Multi-Person Mocap Inputs, Outputs and Limits
The useful distinction is simple: QuickMagic automates performer detection and separate motion solving, while the animator remains responsible for final staging and contact cleanup.
What QuickMagic Handles
- Detects and boxes each visible performer in the uploaded video.
- Lets you assign the same target format to one or several selected people.
- Generates an independent animation result for every selected performer.
- Preserves approximately 70%–85% of the source formation and positioning.
- Sends captured tracks to Motion Editor for frame and transition refinement.
What to Validate After Export
- Exact root position, spacing and character scale in the destination scene.
- Hand-to-hand, foot-to-floor and character-to-character contacts.
- Long occlusions where one performer blocks another in the source footage.
- Retargeting differences between the shared source format and production rigs.
- Final loop timing, transitions, collisions and animation curves.
Recording Checklist and Supported Mocap Formats
Better source footage makes identity separation and motion estimation more reliable. Prepare the group take before uploading it to Video to Mocap.
Group Video Recording Checklist
- Keep every performer's full body visible from head to feet.
- Avoid prolonged overlap and heavy occlusion between people.
- Use even lighting and clear contrast from the background.
- Reduce motion blur and keep people away from the frame edges.
- Allow additional processing time as the number of performers increases.
Output Format Examples
| Format | Typical pipeline |
|---|---|
| Mixamo | Humanoid character animation and rapid prototyping |
| Unreal 5.6–5.8 | Real-time characters and virtual production |
| Girl FBX | FBX-based character animation workflows |
| SMPL | Body-model, research and data workflows |
The official guide states that all Video to Mocap formats support multi-person capture, but only one format can be selected per task.
One Group Video, Separate Character Motions
QuickMagic separates performers into individual animation tracks while preserving much of their relative group formation.
AI Multi-Person Mocap for Group Performances
Automatically Detect Every Performer
After upload, QuickMagic detects visible people and outlines each one with a separate box. Confirm the count before selecting performers for processing.
Choose Single or Multi-Person Capture
Pick Mixamo, Unreal 5.6–5.8, Girl FBX, SMPL or another available format, then drag the format card onto one box for single-person capture or several boxes for multi-person capture. Everyone selected in that task shares the same format.
Preview Independent Animation Tracks
After processing, each performer receives an independent result such as Animation 1, Animation 2 or Animation 3, with the original reference video available for comparison.
Refine Formation and Motion
QuickMagic states that roughly 70%–85% of reference formation is preserved. Fine-tune exact staging in your DCC, or use Motion Editor to insert or delete frames, replace actions and smooth transitions.

Multi-Person Video Motion Capture FAQ
What is multi-person video motion capture?
It uses AI to detect several people in one video and generate a separate editable skeletal-animation track for every selected performer.
How many people can QuickMagic capture at once?
The September 18, 2026 guide lists Basic up to 2 people, Pro 3, Max 4 and Studio 6. Free supports single-person capture. Check current pricing because limits may change.
How does QuickMagic select multiple people?
The system automatically draws a box around each detected person. Drag an output-format card onto the boxes of the performers you want to capture.
Can every performer use a different format in one task?
No. One output format is specified per task and all selected people share it. Run another generation task or convert completed results when other formats are required.
Which output formats support multi-person capture?
The official guide says all Video to Mocap formats support multi-person capture and lists Mixamo, Unreal 5.6–5.8, Girl FBX and SMPL as examples. Available formats may change.
Does every person receive a separate animation?
Yes. The completed result provides independent tracks such as Animation 1, Animation 2 and Animation 3 for preview and export.
How accurately is group formation preserved?
QuickMagic reports roughly 70%–85% formation and positioning preservation. Refine exact blocking, distances and contacts in your DCC after export.
What footage gives the best multi-person results?
Keep every full body visible, use even lighting and clear subject-background contrast, limit motion blur and avoid performers blocking each other for long periods.
Why does multi-person capture take longer?
Each selected performer requires detection, motion estimation and an independent animation output, so processing normally takes longer as the number of people increases.
Can I refine the captured tracks?
Yes. Captured motion can be opened in Motion Editor for operations such as inserting or deleting frames, replacing actions and smoothing transitions.
What is multi-person mocap best used for?
Typical uses include group dance, fight scenes, ensemble acting, sports drills, multi-character previs, games, virtual production and digital-human animation.
