Runway Changes Animation Forever with its New Model
“I don't think text prompts are here to stay for a long time,” said Runway CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela.
Runway, an NYC based AI video startup, announced Act-One, a new state-of-the-art tool for generating expressive character performances, inside Gen-3 Alpha. The access to Act One is currently limited. Act-One can generate compelling animations by just using video and voice performances as inputs. The tool reduces the reliance on traditional motion capture systems, making it simpler to bring characters to life in production workflows. On their blog, Runway uploaded several videos and styles showcasing the different ways in which the tool is used.
