Act-Two: The Motion Capture Upgrade We’ve Been Waiting For

Let’s cut to the chase: Act-Two is a massive leap over Act-One. We’re talking next-level fidelity, rock-solid consistency, and smoother motion across the board. The magic? It can animate any character—think head movements, facial expressions, upper body swagger, hand gestures, even background elements—all from a single driving performance video. No extra steps, no wonky glitches.

Style? Environment? Act-Two Doesn’t Care—It Delivers

Whether you’re working with a 3D model, a 2D illustration, or a character in a hyper-stylized world, Act-Two translates your performance flawlessly. Diverse environments? Wild art directions? It handles them all without sacrificing an ounce of that performance fidelity. Your character moves like you (or your actor) did—just in their own unique vibe.

Who Can Get Their Hands on It?

Right now, Act-Two is live for Runway’s Enterprise customers and Creative Partners. But don’t stress if you’re not in that circle yet—public access is dropping in the next few days. Mark your calendars, creators—this is going to change how we animate.

Time to level up your motion capture game. 🔥
