What Plask Motion is
Plask Motion turns video into 3D animation through AI motion capture, without suits or sensors. It can capture body movement from a single camera source and apply the extracted motion to an imported 3D character. Blinking and physics are supported for MMD and VRM models. Users can render video with automated camera and lighting controls and customizable effects, and export in FBX, GLB, or BVH formats. Listed workflows cover Blender, Unreal Engine 4 and 5, iClone, After Effects, MetaHuman, VRoid, Cinema 4D, and Ready Player Me. All three plans include scene sharing and realtime collaboration. Plask recommends horizontal footage at 720p or higher; it accepts MP4 and WebM files up to 100 MB and between 3 seconds and 5 minutes. Multi-person capture has tighter limits: fewer than 10 people, under one minute, and 1,800 frames. The software recognizes human forms, not non-human objects. The Free plan allows 15 seconds daily and 1 GB storage. Standard is $216 a year and Pro is $600 a year; both offer a 7-day trial.
