What is QuickMagic?
QuickMagic is an AI-powered motion capture solution that converts standard 2D videos into high-quality 3D animations without requiring wearables, sensors, or specialized hardware. Through a browser-based workflow, it analyzes footage to perform precise 3D motion capture including detailed hand tracking, full-body movement reconstruction, and facial expression capture. Users can create stunning avatars, capture lifelike motion, and generate animated videos all within minutes.
Key features include video-to-3D animation generation, high-precision hand and finger capture for expressive performances, full/half-body capture, facial expression tracking, AI Avatar creation with talking image functionality, people swap to replace video characters with photos, action imitation, image-to-video generation, Physics Optimization 2.0 with adjustable optimization rates (1x-10x), and multi-format export supporting FBX, VMD, BIP, and UE5 formats. The tool integrates with industry-standard software including Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, 3DMax, Motionbuilder, C4D, MMD, and iClone.
QuickMagic is ideal for 3D animators, indie game developers, VFX and previs teams, virtual production crews, VTubers, content creators, video producers, game developers, digital artists, educators researching human motion, and marketing teams needing quick character animation. It streamlines previs, prototyping, and character animation without complex setup, making professional motion capture accessible to creators at every level.
QuickMagic pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
QuickMagic offers a freemium pricing model with a V Coins system where 1 V Coin equals 1 second of video processing. Free tier includes 50 V Coins monthly, 30-second max video upload, 2 simultaneous video captures, 100 MB max import size, and FBX format export. Starter plan is $9.90/month with 150 V Coins, 60-second max upload, 5 simultaneous captures, 200 MB size, and FBX/VMD/UE5 formats. Professional plan is $49.90/month with 1000 V Coins, rapid processing, 60-second max, 5 simultaneous captures, 200 MB size, and FBX/VMD/UE5 formats. V Coins can also be purchased directly: 1,000 V Coins for $46 or 10,000 V Coins for $130. Talking Image and Image-to-Video features are free and do not use V Coins.

Frequently asked questions about QuickMagic
Does QuickMagic capture hands and fingers?
Yes, QuickMagic supports precise hand capture to track finger and hand poses, enhancing character expression and performance quality for expressive animations.
Which export formats are supported?
QuickMagic exports to FBX, VMD, and BIP formats. The Starter and Professional plans also support UE5 format for seamless integration with Unreal Engine.
Which 3D tools can I import the animation into?
Generated animations are compatible with Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, 3DMax, Motionbuilder, C4D, MMD, and iClone for flexible pipeline integration.
Do I need to install any software?
No, QuickMagic is completely browser-based. You upload your video through a web browser and process it online without any traditional software installation.
What video quality works best for motion capture?
Use stable, well-lit footage with the subject clearly visible. Good lighting, clear framing, and minimal occlusions improve tracking accuracy and motion fidelity.
Can I refine the animation after export?
Yes, you can adjust, retarget, or edit the motion in your preferred DCC tool or game engine. Manual adjustments may be needed for complex motions or dance sequences.
What is Physics Optimization 2.0?
Physics Optimization 2.0 uses upgraded algorithms and physical optimization to make motion capture results closer to the original video with higher stability. It supports 1x-10x adjustable rates, where low rates preserve action details and high rates create smoother motion while reducing floating, foot sliding, and jumping issues.
Are there free features that don't use V Coins?
Yes, Talking Image and Image-to-Video features are completely free and do not consume V Coins. These allow audio-driven animation from 2D images and image-to-video generation.
How many videos can I process simultaneously?
The free plan allows 2 simultaneous video captures. Starter and Professional plans support 5 simultaneous captures for faster batch processing.
What is the maximum video length I can upload?
Free tier supports up to 30 seconds maximum. Starter and Professional plans support up to 60 seconds maximum video length for both upload and download.
