Magic Motion AI

At a glance

Magic Motion turns a movement description into a short 3D character-motion clip. You can add a travel path or pose constraints, then export animation data for another tool. It is a candidate for prototyping character movement when rough motion is useful before an animator refines it; professional-quality movement is not established by its product demos.

Good fit

A game or animation creator who needs to explore a two-to-ten-second humanoid action. Directed shots let you specify where a character travels rather than relying only on a prompt. Creator and Pro add a timeline and retargeting, which maps motion onto your own humanoid character.

Consider something else when

You need a finished film, arbitrary creature animation or dependable contact and anatomy without cleanup. The deliverable is character-motion data, and the documentation describes humanoid rig requirements. Style transfer and multi-character features are marked as work in progress, so they should not be the reason to subscribe today.

Start here

Sign in and use a simple fictional movement with the supplied character before uploading your own rig. Check feet, joints, timing and travel in the preview, then verify a small export in the engine or animation tool you actually use. A successful trial means the imported clip behaves usefully there, not merely that a generation completed. The public studio entry led to sign-in; no clip was generated for this guide.

Cost and requirements

Monthly plans currently list Starter at $3 for 300 credits, Creator at $10 for 1,000 and Pro at $99 for 10,000. Signup includes 60 credits. One-time packs start at $5 for 500 credits, with no subscription required for credit-based API use. Studio and API share a credit pool. The pricing page includes commercial use for signup credits and paid accounts; custom-character retargeting and the timeline require Creator or Pro.

Limits to know

The site lists FBX, GLB and BVH exports, but compatibility with your rig still needs a trial. A generation that fails before delivering motion does not retain the charge, according to the terms. The privacy notice does not establish a specific retention or training rule for uploaded rigs, reference images and prompts; resolve that before using unreleased character assets. Motion quality, retargeting and export playback remain untested here.

Still unclear

• What retention and model-training terms apply specifically to uploaded rigs, reference images and prompts?
