Create Actor

Because every person has a different body structure—including height, limb length, and joint placement—even the same movements can result in different motion capture outputs.

In MOVIN Studio, an Actor refers to the person performing the motion. Each actor’s physical characteristics are extracted and stored through a calibration process, allowing MOVIN Studio to personalize motion tracking for that individual.

In the past, calibration often took a significant amount of time. However, MOVIN Studio completes calibration in just 3 seconds, thanks to the power of AI.

Let’s walk through how to create an actor based on your unique body data.

Actor profiles are not saved when MOVIN Studio is closed. Make sure to keep the application running if you need to retain the actor.

A-Pose Calibration

Step into the center of the mocap zone, and hold an A-pose (arms angled down at about 45°) for 3 seconds without moving.
- If you move during calibration or fail to maintain the pose, it may affect the quality of your captured data. Be sure to remain still in the A-pose for the full 3 seconds.
If calibration fails or feels inaccurate:
- Click Create Actor to start calibration with a new actor,
- Then, click Delete Actor to delete the old actor.

Create Actor

Whenever the performer changes, click 'Create Actor' to generate a new profile.
- If you skip this step and continue using a previous actor, motion data may degrade due to mismatches in joint locations and body proportions.
After creating a new actor, follow the same A-Pose Calibration process.
If the actor already exists, simply select them from the 'Actor' dropdown menu.

Rename Actor

To avoid confusion, we recommend renaming each actor to match the performer’s real name. This helps identify which actor profile was used for each recording.
To rename, select the actor from the 'Actor' dropdown, click the 'Rename' button and enter the desired name.

Delete Actor

You can delete actors that are no longer needed or were incorrectly calibrated.
To delete, select the actor from the 'Actor' dropdown and click the 'Delete' button.
- If only one actor remains, deletion is disabled. In this case, create a new actor using 'Create Actor', then delete the previous one.
