I always knew this day will come before 2024 ends. The AI companies are in a heated race to dominate and so they're trying their possible best to release crazy cools features to prove their the best.
Runway which is an AI video generator has recently introduced Act-1. What the heck is that you might ask? Act -1 is a new AI tool for filmmaking with Runway
What it let's you do is to film a person and then use AI to change how they look while keeping their movements and expressions exactly the same.
The biggest probably with AI video making and aI felt it while trying to create some was making the characters stay consistent. When I make a prompt of an image and want the same image to do something else so I can compile into a video that makes sense it wasn't working at all.
Now with Act-1 this problem will be resolved and that means you'll start seeing many high quality AI videos that have consistent characters.
It will allows the creators to upload a video and a control image and the AI maps the image over the performance.
This tool will help us create more realistic AI characters and we don't even need special motion capture suits or ridiculously expensive equipment. The new tool uses advanced AI video technology so it can build complex scenes with many camera angles.
When will we see this feature rolled out? Well it'll be over the next few weeks but definitely before December I hope. And the good thing is it's not exclusive, it will soon be available to everyone. We'll all be movie producers soon, hahaha
Just check this YouTube video, the YouTuber explains it very well
