DeepMotion

Animating a 3D character by hand takes hours of keyframing, and a traditional mocap studio costs far more.

DeepMotion is an AI motion capture and 3D animation tool that turns video and text into character animation, so you can skip the suit and the studio.

It sits in the video and animation category and also covers image to video and avatar video work.

Pricing is freemium, and the plans differ mostly in clip length and credits.

The free plan gives you 3 credits a month, 1 download a month, 2 variants and clips up to 10 seconds, with the lowest job priority and 3 custom characters.

Starter costs $9 a month and adds unlimited downloads, 15 credits, 20-second clips and a commercial license.

Professional is $39 with 400 credits, 120-second clips and 20 custom characters.

Studio is $83 with 1,000 credits, 360-second clips, 50 custom characters and the highest job priority.

The free tier is small, so expect to test DeepMotion there and pay if you plan to publish the results commercially.
