Overview
What Move AI Genesis is
Move AI's current public product focus is Genesis, a permanently wired, enterprise-grade markerless motion-capture system for VFX, games, entertainment, and animation studios. It replaces suits and reflective markers with synchronized video, computer vision, and a motion engine trained to infer human movement over time.
Genesis is materially different from the older cloud and consumer framing many people associate with Move AI. The current system is a locally processed desktop deployment built around professional Z CAM hardware, calibrated multi-camera volumes, an Nvidia GPU, and integration with studio capture and animation pipelines.
Move AI still links to its Move One platform for existing web-platform users, but its public sales pages do not list a current self-serve subscription or consumer price. New buyers are directed to configure a Genesis system, request a sample or demonstration, and obtain a quote.
Use cases
Who Move AI Genesis is best for
The strongest fit depends on the job you need the product to complete, not the size of its feature list.
Permanent capture stages
Install a calibrated, synchronized multi-camera volume for repeated shoots and locally processed motion data.
Hybrid optical facilities
Add markerless processing to compatible Vicon or OptiTrack camera feeds while retaining parts of an existing stage investment.
Capabilities
Core Move AI Genesis features
Suitless multi-actor capture
Capture one to eight performers through video without body markers or inertial suits, reducing performer setup while preserving natural wardrobe and movement.
Local Nvidia GPU processing
Run the desktop motion engine on-premises with compatible RTX 30-, 40-, 50-series or Nvidia A-series hardware instead of uploading every capture for cloud processing.
Flexible calibrated volumes
Build a permanently wired stage from approximately 4 × 4 meters to 20 × 20 meters using six to twelve Z CAM cameras, appropriate lenses, and checkerboard calibration.
Synchronized timecode
Align camera feeds and captured motion to a master clock so the resulting data can fit into a broader production and editorial pipeline.
Peel Capture integration
Use Peel Capture for camera control, synchronized start and stop, file naming, and shoot data management in a unified session workflow.
Hybrid optical-camera input
Process RGB or grayscale feeds from compatible existing Vicon or OptiTrack systems, using their camera quality and calibration for markerless extraction.
Local scale and data control
Process unlimited takes on owned infrastructure, add processing hubs, and keep source footage and motion processing within a studio's network and security boundary.
Process
How the Move AI Genesis workflow works
Step 1
Define production requirements
Specify volume size, actor count, movement type, target skeleton, frame rate, timecode, downstream DCC or engine, turnaround, and data-security requirements.
Step 2
Configure the stage
Use Move's system configurator as an initial estimate, then validate camera count, lenses, placement, lighting, cabling, GPU, and network design with Move's onboarding team.
Step 3
Install and calibrate
Mount and synchronize the camera array, set the master clock, complete checkerboard calibration, and verify useful coverage across the entire working volume.
Step 4
Run representative tests
Capture the actual movement classes the production needs—including occlusion, floor contact, fast limbs, multiple actors, props, and costume variations—and request raw comparison data.
Step 5
Process and inspect locally
Generate motion data on the designated GPU infrastructure, then inspect foot sliding, jitter, spine motion, finger detail, occlusion recovery, scale, and identity assignment.
Step 6
Retarget and clean
Map the output to the production rig, correct contact and penetration issues, blend or edit takes, and validate the animation inside the engine or DCC that will ship it.
Cost
Move AI Genesis pricing and free plan
Move AI no longer publishes a self-serve Genesis software price. New systems are configured and quoted through sales, and buyers must budget for cameras, lenses, synchronization, cabling, mounting, local compute, installation, support, and animation cleanup. Move's live configurator currently uses $3,000 as an illustrative Nvidia GPU estimate, not a complete system price.

Assessment
Move AI Genesis strengths and limitations
Where it stands out
- No body markers or capture suits are required.
- Local processing keeps source footage and motion computation under studio control.
- Multi-actor support and large capture volumes target production rather than single-person demos.
- Checkerboard calibration and synchronized professional cameras support repeatable stage operation.
- Compatible Vicon and OptiTrack feeds can preserve parts of an existing optical investment.
- Unlimited local processing removes per-take cloud allowances once the system is deployed.
What to consider
- Genesis is an enterprise stage installation, not a low-cost phone-only motion-capture app.
- There is no public all-in price; cameras, lenses, GPU, synchronization, cabling, storage, installation, support, and cleanup must be quoted or estimated separately.
- The public configurator is explicitly illustrative and should not be used as a purchase-ready bill of materials.
- Markerless output still needs production testing and cleanup for occlusion, fast motion, floor contact, fingers, props, overlapping performers, and unusual costumes.
- A permanently wired volume trades portability for synchronization, repeatability, and local throughput.
- Move AI's accuracy comparisons and 'optical quality' language are vendor claims; buyers should request raw sample data from representative movements and score it against their own acceptance criteria.

Move AI Genesis FAQs
What is Move AI?
Move AI develops markerless motion-capture systems. Its current flagship, Genesis, uses synchronized cameras and local GPU processing to turn video of one or more performers into 3D animation data without suits or body markers.
Is Move AI still active?
Yes. Move AI's current website sells Genesis through configured systems, demonstrations, and custom quotes. Its earlier Move One platform is still linked, but the main product focus is now enterprise on-premises capture.
How much does Move AI cost?
Move AI does not publish a complete Genesis price. The current configurator uses about $3,000 as an illustrative GPU line item, while cameras, lenses, synchronization, installation, and software are configured separately. Contact sales for a real quote.
What hardware does Move AI Genesis need?
Move AI currently describes six to twelve Z CAM cameras and lenses plus a local Nvidia RTX 30-, 40-, 50-series or A-series GPU. The exact count, lens, compute, and mounting plan depends on the stage.
How many actors can Move AI capture?
The current Genesis product page lists capture for one to eight people in volumes ranging from 4 × 4 meters to 20 × 20 meters.
Does Move AI process data in the cloud?
Genesis is designed to run locally through a desktop application and on-premises Nvidia GPUs. This supports offline operation, local data control, and processing without a cloud subscription allowance.
Can Move AI replace an optical motion-capture stage?
It can reduce reliance on suits and markers, and Move AI claims comparable data quality in its own tests. A studio should still evaluate raw data from representative movement, props, costumes, actor counts, and target rigs before replacing a validated optical workflow.
Bottom line
Our Move AI Genesis verdict
Move AI Genesis is aimed at studios that want high-volume markerless capture with local data control and can justify a professionally installed multi-camera stage. It is not the casual single-camera subscription the older Move One reputation may imply. The right buying process is a representative test shoot, raw-data evaluation, full hardware and support quote, and cleanup-time comparison against optical, inertial, and lighter-weight markerless alternatives.
