Import Video

In Plask Motion, users can import videos to get 3D animations. Import a video file by pressing the Import button or by dragging and dropping the file into the Viewport, and set the extraction options to extract it as an Animation Asset. Animation assets can be applied to Models.

Import video file

Click the Import menu at the top of Outliner or click Add from Asset.

Please refer to Video Requirements to extracting quality animations.

Trim a video

Enter the interval you want to extract. Set where the extraction starts and ends, in seconds.

For a video guide to extracting quality animations, see What's the best way to capture motion using your camera on Plask? in Docs>FAQ.

Select an extraction option:

1. Multi-person: This option tracks and extracts multiple people in the video. In order to extract multi-person video successfully, please make sure to follow our Video Requirements guidelines.
2. Insert T-Pose: This option sets the first frame of the extracted animation to T-pose. This is useful for retargeting in game engines, etc.

Extract an Animation asset

In the Video modal, press the Import button to add the Animation asset. When the extraction is complete, the video thumbnail is set and can be applied to the Bone.

Notes: Do not close or refresh the window while the extraction is in progress.
