# Recording

## Important Notes

Since MOVIN captures motion using a single MOVIN TRACIN device, it can be difficult to detect motion in blind spots that the device cannot track. In such cases, you can use the following methods to obtain motion capture data:

1. Perform continuous movements
   1. If you need a pose where your hands move behind your back, perform a continuous motion from front to back. This allows the hands to naturally move behind your back, and you can then start recording from that position to capture the desired motion.
2. Adjust your body orientation
   1. If you move your hands behind your back while facing forward, the motion may be occluded by your body, making it difficult to capture accurately. In this case, turn your body so that your hand movements face the MOVIN TRACIN device. This will help achieve more accurate motion capture data.
3. Use third-party gloves for occluded hand tracking
   1. If the occluded area involves hand movements, we recommend using third-party gloves for better tracking accuracy.

## Check Mocap Data

The central panel can be zoomed in and out with the mouse, and the gizmo at the top right allows you to check motion capture data from different viewpoints.

* Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the motion capture data.
* Click and drag the mouse wheel to pan the motion capture data.
* Right-click and drag to rotate the view.
* Click the gizmo at the top right to easily check the motion capture data from the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis perspectives.

Before recording motion capture data, you can select functions from the toolbar to check the quality in detail. For more information, please refer to each link.

## Record Mocap Data

{% hint style="info" %}
Even if MOVIN Studio is closed, all recorded files remain saved and are not deleted.

* Click the red circular record button at the bottom of the central panel to start recording.
  * If Puppet Mode is turned on when clicking the record button, you must move to the center of the motion capture area and wait for a certain amount of time before recording begins.
* Settings cannot be changed during recording. Please double-check that your settings are correct before starting.
* To stop recording, click the red square stop button located in the same position.
  * If you leave the motion capture area during recording, recording will automatically stop.
* In the left panel, a file will be saved showing the actor name, character name (if a character was imported for recording), and the time recording started.
