What is Sora?
Sora is a robust AI video generation model that may create videos based on text prompts, animate images, or remix videos in new styles. OpenAI first previewed the model again Februarybut today, for the primary time, the corporate is making it available for wider use.
What’s new on this release?
Sora’s core functionality – creating impressive videos with easy prompts – stays similar to what it was unveiled in February, but OpenAI has worked to make the model faster and cheaper before releasing a wider version. There are a number of new features, and two stand out.
One is known as Storyboard. With it, you may create multiple AI-generated videos after which assemble them on a timeline, similar to with conventional video editors like Adobe Premiere Pro.
The second is a channel that functions as a form of creative gallery. Users can post their Sora-generated videos to the feed, see suggestions behind certain videos, improve them, and usually get inspired, OpenAI says.
How much are you able to do with it?
You can generate videos based on text prompts, change video styles and elements using a tool called Remix, and mix multiple clips together using Storyboard. Sora also provides pre-made styles you may apply to your videos, equivalent to moody film noir or cardboard and paper for a stop-motion animation effect. You may also trim and loop the videos you create.
Who can use it?
To generate videos with Sora, you will need to subscribe to one in every of OpenAI’s premium plans – ChatGPT Plus ($20 per 30 days) or ChatGPT Pro ($200 per 30 days). Both subscriptions include access to other OpenAI products also. ChatGPT Plus users can generate videos up to five seconds long and at resolutions up to 720p. This plan allows you to create 50 videos per 30 days.
Users with a ChatGPT Pro subscription can generate longer, higher resolution videos, limited to 1080p resolution and lasting 20 seconds. They may also allow Sora to generate up to five video variations directly from a single prompt, allowing you to browse options more quickly. Professional users are limited to 500 videos per 30 days, but may also create an infinite variety of “relaxed” videos that usually are not generated on the fly, but fairly queued when site traffic is low.
Both subscription tiers allow you to create videos in three aspect ratios: vertical, horizontal and square.
