OpenAI continues to set the pace in AI innovation, and this time, it’s with a spectacular new tool: Sora, its AI-powered text-to-video generation model. Starting today, anyone with a ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription can access this powerful, game-changing tool that’s set to transform how we create and edit videos. So, let’s explore what Sora offers and how we can access it.
What Can Sora Do?
Beyond letting us generate videos from textual descriptions (which is impressive on its own), Sora includes advanced tools to edit, transform, and personalize video content in a professional yet simple way.
Sora comes packed with features designed for both creative enthusiasts and professionals in the audiovisual sector. Some of its standout capabilities include:
- Remix: We can edit existing videos by changing elements, removing them, or adding new details such as trees or people.
- Re-cut: It identifies and expands the best moments of a video, seamlessly and naturally completing scenes.
- Storyboard: It organizes clips into a customized timeline, ideal for structured projects.
- Loop: It can create seamless looping videos perfect for social media or presentations.
- Blend: It can combine two videos into a single, fluid sequence without harsh transitions.
- Style Presets: We can apply predefined styles to personalize the aesthetics of our videos.
How to Access Sora
Sora is available as part of ChatGPT’s paid subscriptions (here's more about what is ChatGPT and how to use it or how to have its official app on our Mac):
- ChatGPT Plus ($20/month): Generate up to 50 priority videos at 720p resolution (up to 5 seconds long) with a watermark.
- ChatGPT Pro ($200/month): Generate up to 500 priority videos at 1080p resolution (up to 20 seconds long), download videos watermark-free, and enjoy unlimited generation in relaxed mode. We can also work on up to five video generation projects simultaneously.
If we already have an active subscription, we simply go to Sora and start experimenting!
It’s worth noting that due to local regulations, Sora is currently available in all countries where ChatGPT operates, except for the UK, Switzerland, and Europe. Additionally, the high initial demand might make access tricky right now, so be patient and try again later if needed.
Sora truly represents a leap forward in video creation: accessible, powerful, and easy to use. It’s something we once thought was only possible in dreams. This tool allows us to unleash our creativity with just a few words. Are we ready to be amazed by what we can create?
