CyberJungle, the Youtube channel of Hamburg-based Senior IT Product Manager Cihan Unur, has raved about Runway’s excellent motion-capture feature, Act-Two.

He says:

“This new feature can turn you into literally any character you can imagine. We are talking about advanced motion capture now with full body face and hands tracking. Act-Two is an AI human hybrid performance acting tool. It’s full scene transformation powered by your acting and a single image. No green screen, no fancy setup, just a video of you and the one image or video clip to guide the look. It transforms you into any character, even nonhuman.”

Act-Two requires a Standard plan or higher ($15/month.)

My take: Wow! What I find particularly impressive is the lip-sync that is the best I’ve seen and for the most part totally believable.
