Hey everyone!
On October 24, 2024, Runway launched a new feature named Act-One, its a tool that takes AI lip-syncing and facial animation to a new level. While tools like Viggle, FaceSwap, Facetune, and others have existed to achieve similar effects, they often required highly complex workflows, making them challenging for non-technical-experts.
Act-One changes the game by making this process incredibly accessible: simply film an actor’s performance, upload it to Runway, and use the Act One feature to sync the actor’s expressions with your Ai Art. I linked a quick 10 second video to this post that shows a preview of this feature.
The really cool thing about Act-One is that you can create characters in MidJourney, then overlay them with an actor’s movements to produce lifelike, emotional expressions. This is another huge leap forward for AI filmmaking, simplifying what used to be a tedious, multi-step process. I’ll be experimenting with this feature over the coming weeks to see how it can enhance our storytelling!
Stay tuned as I explore more exciting AI advancements and their potential for creating advanced educational tutorials.
