Runway's AI video creation platform has introduced a new tool called Act-One, which can turn home videos into animated films.
Act-One simplifies the process of facial animation by using AI to map facial movements and expressions from a video onto animated characters.
The tool can produce multi-character dialogue scenes, allowing a single actor to perform multiple roles that are animated separately.
Act-One makes animation more accessible to creators with limited budgets or technical experience, offering realistic character designs while saving time and costs.
