“Same footage... processed using Move Pro, the $7,000 per year system. And on the right we have Mimem, which is using just three of the six GoPros and costs $25 per month. They're both really good.”

“Extremely impressed by Mimem, including the ease of use, price, and performance.”
“It's astounding how good the animations are, I barely have to clean up the animations, I'd say they look as if they are from optical mocap.”
“I've tried multiple services like yours but yours is the best. And amazing customer service!”
“My ideal is a large room with 3+ GoPros always set up as the mocap room. Actors can come in wearing whatever they are wearing, with no need for a suit.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Any iPhone with iOS 14+ works great. Newer models with better cameras (iPhone 12 and later) will produce higher quality results, but even older models can capture good motion data. The key is having a clear view of the subject and good lighting.
You can start with just one camera! More cameras improve accuracy:
- 1 camera: Good for simple movements, walking cycles, and basic animations
- 2-3 cameras: Great for most use cases
- 6 cameras: Optimal quality for most professional work
- 6+ cameras: Recommended for complex movements with lots of occlusion (e.g., martial arts, dance)
Free and Essential plans support up to 3 cameras. Pro plan supports up to 12 cameras. See our pricing page for details and our multi-camera guide for setup instructions.
QuickMagic is a strong single-camera option, but mimem.ai supports up to 12 cameras for better accuracy on complex moves and occlusion-heavy shots. Reviewers also call out stronger foot stability and less cleanup with mimem.ai. Our daily token model (500/day on Essential) is built for consistent iteration, while QuickMagic uses a monthly token budget.
Yes — a tripod or phone mount is required. Cameras must remain completely stationary during recording. Any camera movement will reduce tracking accuracy. For multi-camera setups, use tripods to keep each camera locked in position. Inexpensive phone tripods work great.
The companion app is optional but recommended for multi-camera setups. It synchronizes multiple iPhones automatically. For single-camera captures, you can use your iPhone's native camera app and upload the video directly to our platform.
Good lighting is important for accurate tracking. Natural daylight works great, or use bright indoor lighting. Avoid harsh shadows and backlighting. The subject should be clearly visible with good contrast against the background. See our lighting guide for detailed tips.
