I’m glad you are out here making videos for Cascadeur noobs like me
Yess! thank you! I was playing around a bit with it and it seemed decent but someone actually covering it is nice
Finally I have been waiting for it for a long time.Thanks
perfectly detailed :) Thank you a lot it inspires and helps!
Ok. You are amazing. Thank you so much for this. Honestly, what an amazing video.
love ur videos!! keep them coming
That is cool, Man! I have been using this software for a bit now and never knew that was even a thing. Thanks!
thanks you so much dude, starting a new program like this is so intimidating, but you made it so much easier
absolutley amazing, thanks so much mate! :)
Wow, can´t wait to test this out. Thank you.
Brilliant tutorial and a great introduction for me to this tool. I will certainly give it a go, thanks!
Very cool! Thx for sharing!
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! THANK YOUUUUUU! trying to animate characters in blender vs cascadeur is synonymous to trying to make clothing simulations in blender vs marvelous. GAME CHANGER
It's just an incredible tool, thanks for the video
wow this is actually soo helpful.. thanks bro✨✨
Thank you!
Love it !
Wow thank you subscribed forever
Great video! I learn a lot! I wish you would do another more expansive video regarding all the polishing tools and how to "read" them within your workflow. I am not good at reading and utilizing trajectories, autophysics etc. Your suggestion for the fulcrum motion cleanup was very helpful.
I am learning to pose my character, but I need to be able to cleanup and polish after I finished the poses.
Maybe you will have some videos ideas for that.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you :) I will keep that in mind. Creating these videos require a lot of time to get to know the tools better and then plan the content. However I would also like to get more into these topics.
@@AronNemeth95 hey man ...what version you using ...on my version i cant find the mocap button ,i using i gues the last one avaible 2022.2.2EA
The latest version is 2023.2.1. I think mocap is available 2023.1. You can download it from cascadeur.com/download.
@@AronNemeth95 ohh so im way back in time .ty
Amazing, dude! Thank you. Cheers from Ukraine!
Bro you're the goat
Excellent.
very cool
Thank you
Thx 👍👍🐈🐾🐾
This is really nice... Thank you
Thank you for the detailed explanation! I can definitely see myself using this in my workflow; I have just one question, are all the features used in this video available in version 2023.1? Can anyone confirm this. Thanks
check the video Best Features in Cascadeur 2023.2 maybe it helps :)
Every feature I showed here were already present in 2023.1, but the motion capture got much better in 2023.2. So if you can I would recommend to update to it.
nicee
like all the other AI based mocap tools, they need to introduced multi angle camera shots support.
Do you know if there is auto physics for the fingers to clean up already posed animation? For example, fingers clipping through the body or clipping through other fingers. Are there rigid body collisions in Cascadeur for those mentioned situations? Does auto physics in general help with clipping issues for example arm twisted too far or arm or hand going through body or thigh?
Unfortunately there is no self collision yet neither collision with other meshes. So that's something you have to do manually for now.
Hi, noob here, how did you added the background on the animation ? can you please make a tutorial on this one?
How to export the animated character to blender or any other 3D Software?
You can export your animation as an fbx (or usd, or dae) and import that file to Blender. I would recommend to first have the character in your scene in Blender, then import the exported fbx to the same scene and use that action on the original armature.
You can also try this addon: ruclips.net/video/3J5R1G-g8Ig/видео.htmlsi=FrtDfr7TMqBkCdQY
Unfortunately it doesn't work on MAC, but should work fine on windows and linux.
So you still need to pay that 99 dollar indie edition then.. making it not free. Only within cascadeur itself. You can't use it anywhere unless you buy a licence.

@@jackarock6425need help ?🏴☠️
@@jackarock6425yep looks like it
It work for sum reason
Question; I only can do one second at a time (one frame mocap capture) instead like your example. do you have an idea why is that?
Nice. Thanks for this. i'm totally new to this software. please is the process online or offline?
The mocap process is running offline on your PC. You just need to download the module for the mocap once when you want to use it for the first time.
Hi. I did this process exactly like the video, but it only animates the first frame. I only have one single pose .Do you know how I can solve the problem?
Make sure that the whole interval is selected on the timeline where you want the animation. And check that reference is shown correctly on that interval
Can you import two or more reference videos in the same scene? Lets say you had a front and a side view recorded. This would be awesome I think. The videos would of course have to be in sync before import, I guess.
Importing two videos is possible, you just need to set two different directory where the image sequence will be generated. But unfortunately when generating mocap only one reference can be used.
@@AronNemeth95 That’s good enough. Cool. Thanks.
can we use any rigged character ? If we have created one previously for example
What are your pc specs? I selected about 200 frames from a tiktok dance video just to test and it took me about 16minutes to render (I'm using a RTX3080ti with a intel i9 11th gen) i saw yours only took 3 minutes that's why i'm curious.
Hello friend, thank you so much for sharing super useful video. I just have a small question that the video reference was gone after saving the file and open again. Do you know how to fix it? Thank you.
Hello, Did you delete or move the folder where the image sequence was generated? If so you can try to restore it. Otherwise you will need to reimport the video
do we have other apps like Cascadeur?
I mean Video Mocap
can we transfer this animation to the unit? then does it work
Is there any time limit for a video that’s uploaded?
Thank you for the tutorial! Are you Hungarian? The assumption came up only because of your name.
can i export the animation with the free version to use in blender,daz..etc?
Yes, but you have joint and frame limitations with the free version. You can only export 300 frames and 120 joints at once.
Why am I getting this error when I'm trying to enable autophysics. " interval length for selected center of mass is 3 frames ". Does anyone have solution for this
You have apply physics on selected interval enabled probably. Try to select the interval where you want to apply physics or turn off apply on interval.
happened to me also . thanks for the andswer and the question
Hello! .. I've completed the Quick Rigging, imported the 11 second video clip which previews the 11 seconds, or at least the part I want, yet when I click 'Mocap', it only wants to replicate the first frame only!? HELP!?...
You need to select the interval on the timeline, where you want the mocap to be applied. So if your source video is 30 fps you need to select around 330 frames.
I am an noob too. Want to test the mocap before I commit. How do I select frames tho?
Never mind...it suddenly dawned on me how
Its not tracking in mine how?
2:30 you can open this menu only mouse right click, and menu appears
Is it possible to do Real Time/Live Streaming
Unfortunately no 😕
Can it do the same if there are 2 characters in the video?
You can try but it always chooses the most visible character, which can change during the video.
@@AronNemeth95 I dont have Cascadeur, so cannot try by myself else I would not have asked. Is it possible to test it out ?
@@razaverses You can see an example here: ruclips.net/video/Q5WlS47jQ1w/видео.htmlsi=NPsylNhPWWcjkrm5&t=115
It really depends on your video so I can't say for sure, but most likely wont work as expected
@@AronNemeth95 thanks

Consider using a voice (speech) to text converter, for the very reason that tutorials in Hindi are not clearly understood and are abhorrent. Even English speakers such as Scott Ritter uses it due to his inability to speak without the "UHM" syndrome. Many thanks for the tutorial which I will come back to, if I cannot find a better one.
So I used the mocap for a 30 second dance I made. But the final product is the character doing most of the motions correctly. EXCEPT...
My character is floating too high. So it looks like my character is on his tip toes the entire time. Is there a simple solution to fix that? I dont want to have to drag my character down and flatten the foot (shift+Z) for every single one of the hundreds of frames.
So in short I guess I am asking whats the best way to fix that?
(My work around, which I suppose isnt too bad I suppose. Is that I just Mocap individual key frames or key poses. Then just use Interpolate Bezier Clamp the gaps. Now its not terrible but just takes waaay longer than coming up with a solution that fixes hundreds of frames all at once. )
If deactivating the toe controllers with Shift Z fixes your problem, you can do it on the whole interval. You need to select the interval on the timeline, activating the work on interval with the red button above the object properties and then pressing Shift Z
Is it Please Free or Paid?
😊Free
Hello, I can't Mocap fingers according to your instructions，The fingers in the video are very clear
Unfortunately finger mocap is currently not available yet.
But this is not free.. yes, doing all the stuff within the basic free licence works. But you cannot export it, you are not able to use it outside of cascadeur unless you get at least an 99 dollar indie licence. Unless somehow you can import .casc to blender, maya or unreal.
It was only recently that they restricted exports to only .casc. When he made this tutorial, the animation could easily be exported.
So it's outdated, he needs to remove the video

The video was recoreded with version 2023.2.1, the licensing changed with version 2024.1. You can still get the previous versions where you can use the mocap and export for free.
@@victoirethondo2922 The feature and technique might still useful for those who perchased the license. If you as a hobbyist or a student, you still able to learn from the video.
Need to pay when it export
Great video but why do i have this feeling that you are in depression bro ? Are you all right 🧐 ?
da pra fazer com dragon ?
