Audience
Filmmakers, game developers and digital artists needing a tool to animate characters by transferring live performances onto custom imagery
About Act-Two
Act-Two enables animation of any character by transferring movements, expressions, and speech from a driving performance video onto a static image or reference video of your character. By selecting the Gen‑4 Video model and then the Act‑Two icon in Runway’s web interface, you supply two inputs; a performance video of an actor enacting your desired scene and a character input (either a single image or a video clip), and optionally enable gesture control to map hand and body movements onto character images. Act‑Two automatically adds environmental and camera motion to still images, supports a range of angles, non‑human subjects, and artistic styles, and retains original scene dynamics when using character videos (though with facial rather than full‑body gesture mapping). Users can adjust facial expressiveness on a sliding scale to balance natural motion with character consistency, preview results in real time, and generate high‑resolution clips up to 30 seconds long.

Gemini Omni Flash
Gemini Omni is Google’s new model family where Gemini’s ability to reason meets the ability to create, starting with video. The first model in the family, Gemini Omni Flash, can create anything from any input by combining images, audio, video, and text as input, then generating high-quality videos grounded in Gemini’s real-world knowledge. It gives users an easier way to edit video through conversation, where every instruction builds on the last, characters stay consistent, physics hold up, and the scene remembers what came before. Users can transform specific details or entire worlds, reimagine action, add new characters or objects, change environments, adjust camera angles, refine styles, and build multi-turn edits without losing the thread of the original scene. Gemini Omni is designed to bridge photorealism and meaningful storytelling by reasoning about what should happen next, using an intuitive understanding of forces like gravity, kinetic energy, and fluid dynamics.

MiniMax H3
MiniMax H3 is a general-purpose omni-modal generation model that jointly understands multimodal contexts spanning text, images, video, and audio. It generates videos with native stereo sound at up to 2K resolution and 15 seconds in length, delivering content for advertising, branding, ecommerce, product design, UI/UX, gaming, and creative workflows. Users can combine reference types in one instruction, for example, transferring camera movement from a video, placing a character from an image into the scene, and matching vocals from an audio clip, while describing the relationships in natural language. H3 supports text-to-image, text-to-video with jointly generated audio, multi-shot modeling, text-to-audio, and generalized reference and editing across images, videos, and audio. Voice, sound effects, and music are modeled together. The model excels at instruction following, accurate text and brand presentation, and video-to-video motion transfer.
