Want to star in an animated film as an anthropomorphic animal version of yourself?
Runway’s AI video creation platform has a new AI tool to do just that.
The new Act-One feature may make motion-capture suits and manual computer animation unnecessary to match live action.
Act-One streamlines what is usually a long process for facial animation.
All you need is a video camera facing an actor and able to capture their face as they perform.
The AI fueling Act-One reworks the facial movements and expressions from the inputted video to fit an animated character.
Act-One can even produce multi-character dialogue scenes, which Runway suggests are difficult for most generative AI video models.

Act-One is, in some ways, an enhancement for Runway’svideo-to-video featurewithin itsGen-3 Alpha model.
The model is continuously monitored to spot any attempts to break those or other rules.
“We’re excited to see what forms of creative storytelling Act-One brings to animation and character performance.
If you want to try Act-One, Runway’s paid plans start at $12 a month.
