What Is DreamAct? Turning Reference Motion into Expressive AI Avatars

Creating expressive avatar videos has traditionally required motion capture, animation skills, or complex filming setups. DreamAct changes this by making motion imitation simple and accessible. What DreamAct Does DreamAct is a feature in DreamFace that allows creators to upload a short reference video and have an AI avatar imitate the same motion. By combining a clear image and a brief motion reference, users can generate avatar videos with expressive, natural-looking actions. The workflow is straightforward: - Upload or drag a clear, full-body image with one character - Upload a reference video under 30 seconds, or select a preset video template - Add your script or voice - Generate an avatar video that follows the motion of the reference Why Motion Matters in Avatar Videos Static avatars can explain information, but expressive motion makes content feel more human. Subtle gestures, posture changes, and timing all contribute to how believable an avatar appears. DreamAct syncs motion to your script, allowing avatars to perform expressive actions while speaking, rather than remaining visually static. When DreamAct Is Most Useful DreamAct works best for: - Short explainer videos - Social media clips - Product demonstrations - Educational and instructional content By using short, clear reference videos, creators gain control over avatar movement without learning animation tools.
