Act-Two
Act-Two enables animation of any character by transferring movements, expressions, and speech from a driving performance video onto a static image or reference video of your character. By selecting the Gen‑4 Video model and then the Act‑Two icon in Runway’s web interface, you supply two inputs; a performance video of an actor enacting your desired scene and a character input (either a single image or a video clip), and optionally enable gesture control to map hand and body movements onto character images. Act‑Two automatically adds environmental and camera motion to still images, supports a range of angles, non‑human subjects, and artistic styles, and retains original scene dynamics when using character videos (though with facial rather than full‑body gesture mapping). Users can adjust facial expressiveness on a sliding scale to balance natural motion with character consistency, preview results in real time, and generate high‑resolution clips up to 30 seconds long.

AvatarFX
Character.AI has unveiled AvatarFX, an AI-powered video generation tool currently in closed beta. This technology enables users to animate static images into realistic, long-form videos featuring synchronized lip movements, gestures, and expressions. AvatarFX supports a variety of visual styles, including 2D animated characters, 3D cartoon figures, and non-human faces like pets. It maintains high temporal consistency in facial, hand, and body movements, even in extended videos, ensuring smooth and natural animations. Unlike traditional text-to-image generation methods, AvatarFX allows users to create videos directly from existing images, offering greater control over the final output. AvatarFX is particularly beneficial for enhancing AI chatbot interactions, enabling the creation of lifelike avatars that can speak, emote, and engage in dynamic conversations. Users interested in early access can apply through Character.AI's platform.
