How to get the best out of Runway Act Two (Character)
Runway Act Two (Character) on Pixio is Runway’s character-driven video: one character reference image + text prompt → video where the character performs the action (gestures, motion, expression) while staying consistent. Same capability as Gen-4 Act-Two; this page is the character-focused entry. Use it when you need a specific character or spokesperson to perform an action—talking, waving, or moving—without character drift.

Use it when you need a specific character or spokesperson to perform an action—talking, waving, or moving—without character drift.
Use this when
- You have a character reference (photo or illustration) and need them to perform in video—gesture, walk, act—with consistent look.
- You want Runway quality for spokesperson, avatar, or character animation (motion and expression from prompt).
- You need one character in, one character out—reference defines who; prompt defines what they do.
- For talking head with lip-sync and voice, pair with Act-One or voice tools; Act Two focuses on motion and expression.
