DeepMotion
AI-powered motion capture and 3D body tracking for animation creation
AI-Powered Summary
DeepMotion provides AI-based motion capture that converts regular video into 3D animations and also generates 3D animations from text prompts. It supports multi-person tracking, custom characters, and runs in-browser on desktop and mobile. The platform is designed for animators, game developers, and content creators who need motion capture without specialized hardware.
Key Features
What makes DeepMotion stand out
Video to 3D Animation
Upload a regular video and the AI extracts body motion to create a 3D animation.
Text to 3D Animation
Describe a motion in text and the AI generates a corresponding 3D animation.
Multi-Person Tracking
Track full-body, hand, and face motion for up to 8 people in a single video.
Custom 3D Characters
Upload your own 3D character models and apply captured motion to them.
Mobile Compatibility
Access the animation tool from any mobile browser to create animations on the go.
Rotoscope Pose Editor
Manually refine and correct AI-generated animation poses for better accuracy.
Hand & Face Tracking
Captures detailed hand and facial expressions alongside full-body motion.
Free Credit Program
Earn animation credits back by labeling motions or correcting animations.

Best For
Animators and creators needing affordable markerless motion capture from video
Who Should NOT Use This
- Studios requiring real-time on-set motion capture — DeepMotion processes video after recording rather than providing real-time on-set capture feedback with sub-frame latency.
- Users needing precise biomechanical or medical-grade motion data — AI-based markerless tracking from video does not match the precision of professional optical or inertial motion capture systems.
- Developers looking for an API or SDK to embed motion capture into their own software — DeepMotion appears to be a web-based platform without a publicly documented developer API for integration into custom pipelines.
- Teams that need completely offline or on-premise processing — DeepMotion is a cloud-based service that requires uploading video to their servers for processing.
Competitive Position
Combines both video-to-animation and text-to-animation capabilities in a single browser-based platform with no hardware requirements.
When to Choose DeepMotion
- You need affordable motion capture without buying specialized hardware
- You want to generate 3D animations from text prompts (SayMotion)
- You need to track multiple people simultaneously from a single video
- You're a solo creator or small team needing quick turnaround on animation projects
When to Look Elsewhere
- You need real-time motion capture during live production or performance
- You require sub-millimeter precision for VFX or medical research
- You need a fully offline or air-gapped solution
- You need extensive API access to build motion capture into a custom application
