Learn how to use Act-One in Gen-3 Alpha to generate expressive performances using a single driving video and character image.

There are just not enough hours in the day for all this amazing stuff coming out right now !

[JoJoAIventures]

This is a game-changer for animating any custom characters fitting for any imaginable scene you want.

Well done Runway Team!

👏 I have been telling the Young Ones on campus at USC … especially the panicked actors. 😅 They can’t believe their eyes.
Bravo

So amazing! Thank you so much Runway team! You guys are amazing 🎆

[spadaacca]

many people are going to be out of work. But this is incredible. Amazing. Wonderful.

[fabianoperes]

AMAZING! When will Act-Two with body movement be available?

[heartshinemusic]

Next steps: a solution for hand gestures and then transferring whole body movements, hopefully with wire-frame adjustment options to fine-tune. Future: create full 3D character models as a basis.

I use Runway, D iD, Heygen. Runway is the most expensive. Runway does not generate 1080 natively. D id and Hygen does not style transfer body motion but creates its own. But they generate 1080 on a green screen.

Drop your prices, create an affordable unlimited plan and I will be back to Runway. Support the small filmmaker.

Would be super helpful to add a "Flip Horizontal" option to both the driving video and the reference image.

[lagrinta]

I don't accept 2d characters or nonhumanoid ones we need specific guidelines and workarounds on this one. Thank you!

[holdthetruthhostage]

This has potential the problem is that their is no information on Credits & if it can be used on a full body character & if it can be reused with Runaway to add motion to your performance, but i guess an update will follow the entire body

[ai.ai.captain]

Just when I canceled the subscription runway comes up with this. But until then I will keep trying lip sync with kling as it adds the movement as well. 😅

[suzevidz]

This looks great, but since you released it I have not been able to generate a single video from image and I can't even get into the generator video section. It's been 3 days and I haven't been able to get any work done. I've tried to get help from you in every way that I can and I'm getting very frustrated!! I'd like to check this out later, but I have regular generative work that I need to do now! HELP!!!

[shajimb]

Is it possible to combine two diifrent shot into one arc shot with this tool?

[animatedstoriesandpoems]

is it possible to capture full body action and apply it to a customised 2d charecter ?

[Todd-QC]

Can this only be done on a PC? I don't see the buttons on the left on my phone. No way to select act one.

[molcay]

Narrator sounds like Ryan from The Office 😂

[MordredsRise]

Does the video have to be recorded in 16:9 for it to work?

[wrillywonka]

Can it do full body and 3d characters as reference?
