Animate characters with your own performance using Runway Act-Two on Freepik
If you’ve ever wanted your characters to follow your exact movement, Runway Act-Two has landed on Freepik AI Video Generator. This model captures your full-body motion, facial expressions, and voice. It then maps them to any character you choose, making expressive animation easier than ever with just a couple of uploads.
The versatility behind Runway Act-Two animation
Runway Act-Two takes a simple idea—“make my character move like this”—and gives it a polished twist with clean, full-body motion tracking. You upload a short reference video of someone (yes, you’re absolutely allowed to star in your own animation) moving and talking, and add a character image. The model re-creates the performance with expressive facial animation and matching gestures, resulting in a 720p animated clip where your character actually feels alive.
By capturing gesture, timing, and expression, the animation comes through with a convincingly human look. It adapts just as well to realistic portraits as to illustrations in anime, 3D, or any other style. In short, everything you can imagine or generate using Freepik’s AI tools can be transformed into motion.
This model shines when you need quick animated drafts, personal avatars, branded characters, or movement tests before pitching an idea. Many creators use Runway Act-Two to animate AI-generated characters, craft talking-head videos without appearing on camera, or explore storytelling ideas without diving into a full animation workflow.
Why Runway Act-Two is a solid choice
What makes this model so appealing is the way it animates without any heavy setup:
- It processes movement, articulation, and voice cues from a simple clip and translates them into fluid animation.
- Works seamlessly with realistic or imaginative designs, letting you try bold ideas without setting up a full animation pipeline.
- It introduces camera drift and subtle environmental detail, adding a layer of realism to still characters.
- The 720p render gives you footage ready for previews, early edits, or quick shareable content.
- Being part of Freepik means you can adapt and enhance characters in the Image Editor, or move through your creative process in a streamlined workflow inside Spaces.
