Cascadeur offers a free Basic tier that includes all core features (AutoPosing, AutoPhysics, Animation Unbaking, Video Mocap) for individuals and teams earning under $100K in annual revenue. Once that threshold is crossed, a paid Pro license ($199/year) or custom Studio license is required for continued commercial use. Students and hobbyists below the revenue cap can use the full toolset at no cost.
Cascadeur supports FBX, DAE (Collada), and USD file formats for both import and export, enabling integration with Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, and other standard DCC and game-engine pipelines.
Absolutely. Cascadeur's Animation Unbaking feature is specifically designed to clean and convert baked motion-capture data into editable keyframe curves, making it a practical tool for studios that need to refine raw capture from Vicon, OptiTrack, or similar systems.
Cascadeur uses neural networks for AutoPosing, which understands human anatomy and movement patterns to generate natural full-body poses from minimal control-point input. AutoPhysics analyzes animations for balance, momentum, and center-of-mass plausibility, suggesting corrections. Video Motion Capture uses computer vision to extract skeletal data from reference footage.
Cascadeur requires a modern 64-bit system (Windows 10+, macOS 10.14+, or Linux Ubuntu 18.04+) with at least 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended) and an OpenGL 3.3+ compatible GPU. The AI features benefit from a dedicated graphics card but do not require CUDA or a specific vendor's hardware.
