Yes — a few mocap solutions are specifically aimed at faster animation iteration and easier import/export into DCC tools and engines, rather than just raw capture quality.

Here are some good examples:

1. Rokoko

  • Rokoko Studio is built around quick workflows for animators.
  • Easy export to FBX, BVH, and direct integrations with tools like Blender, Unity, Unreal, and Maya via plugins.
  • Strong focus on getting motion from capture to usable animation quickly.
  • Their ecosystem is often used by indie studios and teams that want a streamlined pipeline.

2. Xsens

  • More enterprise-oriented, but very polished for production workflows.
  • Supports export to common formats and integrates with major animation packages.
  • Strong tooling for retargeting and cleaning motion data, which can speed up downstream work.
  • Common in film, game, and virtual production pipelines.

3. Move.ai

  • Focuses on markerless capture with a relatively fast turnaround from recording to usable animation.
  • Exports to standard formats and can fit into pipelines that use Unreal or other DCCs.
  • Useful if you want to reduce setup time and simplify capture-to-export steps.

4. DeepMotion

  • Cloud-based and designed for quick conversion of video into animation.
  • Simple upload/download workflow with exports for common formats.
  • Good when the main goal is speed and convenience rather than high-end studio capture.

5. Perception Neuron / Noitom

  • Offers affordable mocap with software that supports common export paths.
  • Often used by smaller teams needing fast iteration and compatibility with Blender, Unity, Unreal, etc.

6. Radical / RADiCAL

  • Markerless and cloud-based.
  • Emphasizes quick motion processing and export.
  • Useful for fast prototyping and content creation.

If your priority is specifically workflow speed

Look for these features:

  • One-click export to FBX/BVH
  • Direct plugins for Blender / Unreal / Unity / Maya
  • Retargeting tools built in
  • Batch processing and clip management
  • Cloud processing if you want minimal local setup
  • Auto-cleaning / auto-solver features

Best fit by use case

  • Fast indie animation pipeline: Rokoko
  • High-end production workflow: Xsens
  • Video-to-animation speed: DeepMotion / RADiCAL
  • Markerless production with modern pipeline: Move.ai

If you want, I can also give you a comparison table focused only on import/export speed, plugin support, and animation cleanup workflow.
