Digital Actors
Overview
Digital Actors in ACT 3 AI are AI-generated characters that can perform scripted roles within your productions. They combine realistic visual rendering, customizable personalities, and controllable performance styles, making them essential for both narrative and commercial content.
Digital Actors can be used in storyboards, shot prompts, and final build videos, replacing the need for traditional casting while preserving creative control.
Key Capabilities
- Character Library: Choose from a catalog of pre-designed archetypes (heroes, villains, narrators, etc.).
- Customization: Adjust character attributes—age, gender, ethnicity, wardrobe, voice, and movement style.
- Performance Direction: Control body language, tone, and emotional intensity through AI Wizard prompts.
- Voice & Lip Sync: Pair with audio tracks for synced dialogue and natural expressions.
- Cross-Scene Continuity: Keep the same Digital Actor consistent across multiple scenes or even entire projects.
- Multi-Actor Interaction: Place multiple actors together with collision-aware staging and dynamic camera angles.
How to Use
- Open the Editor workspace and select **Digital Actor → Add Actor**.
- Browse the available catalog or import a saved preset.
- Customize appearance (hair, clothing, accessories) and attributes (age, height, style).
- Add scripted dialogue or link to imported scripts.
- Position the actor within 2D or 3D sets.
- Preview in Top Down View and finalize in the video build.
