Sora from OpenAI is the long-awaited AI tool that turns your text into videos. You can also remix videos or blend multiple prompts.

Overview

Sora from OpenAI is a tool that turns your text into videos. People using ChatGPT Plus or Pro accounts get more features.

You just type a description and it creates a short video. The first version supported different sizes and went up to 1080p. Videos could run about 20 seconds. You could blend different prompts or remix scenes together into one clip. But it had some issues. Objects didn’t always stay consistent physics were off and scenes got glitchy when they got too detailed.

Version 2 fixes a lot of that. It now includes sound so audio lines up better with what’s on screen. That means dialogue background noise and effects feel more natural. The motion also looks more real. It’s better at keeping objects steady and reducing strange visual mistakes.

There’s also more control. You can guide the style timing, camera movement and how each scene is set up. And there’s a new feature where you can add yourself to a video. Just record a short clip of yourself or someone who gives permission and use that to insert their face and voice.

Sora now has a mobile app and a web version. The app works a lot like TikTok. You scroll through videos share remixes and follow other creators. You can even take someone else’s video and remix it into a chain building on what others made.

Sora 2 can still show copyrighted characters unless the owners say no. But public figures won’t appear unless they upload their own cameo. There are also new safety systems. The tool adds tracking data like watermarks and blocks fake or non-consensual content.

Some things are still the same. Videos are short around 10 seconds. Remixing is still a key strength. And while the visuals have improved you might still notice some small glitches especially in busy scenes or fast movement.

Right now access is limited. It’s invite-only and only available in the US and Canada. And it’s just on iOS for now. You sign in using your OpenAI or ChatGPT account. Early access is rolling out to longtime users and paid subscribers first. Some people said new Plus users can’t create videos right away.

OpenAI plans to add pricing later so it won’t stay free forever. They’ve also made moderation stricter to avoid abuse like deepfakes or harmful content.

Comparing with: None

Most users seem unimpressed with SORA, with a lot of them outright trashing it as "crap" or "garbage" (think @FactsForFarmers, @Eggs_and_Jakey, @perseus2134, and @NortonBreads).

The biggest gripes? It's hard to use and feels super limited. @MostlySpecial couldn’t stand the limits on creating videos, and @philsandberg slammed the steep pricing for anyone not paying premium.

Compared to its competition—like Veo2 and Kling 1.6—SORA just doesn’t hold up. @emile_amajar and @janekm agree these other tools perform better and feel more reliable.

Then there’s the issue of access. Folks like @TiborFarkas call out SORA’s stingy credits and restrictive features, making it tough to get much done unless you spend big.

And while it was hyped early on, people like @PseudoProphet say the buzz faded fast once everyone got their hands on it. Turns out, SORA just didn’t live up to the hype.

People on Twitter sound pretty tired and let down by OpenAI's Sora 2 launch. Some joke that OpenAI pulled another stunt where they overpromised and then underdelivered. They warn that too much hype then letdown makes people lose trust faster than the tech breaking.

A bunch of folks said the fun didn’t last long. Just a couple days. They’re already comparing it to letdowns from DALL·E 3 and 4o image stuff. Others are mad about OpenAI using loads of copyrighted material while still controlling what users can make. They say OpenAI should just treat adults like adults.

The vibe's pretty clear. People are skeptical, worn out, and making jokes instead of getting excited.

Prompt:
Cheap tourist snapshot, slightly shaky and crooked angle, as if taken by an unskilled friend. A 30-year-old stylish blonde woman, mid-sentence, looking a little confused and caught off guard, her expression suspended between talking and posing. She’s standing dead center in front of a major tourist landmark, though the framing is awkward and cuts part of it off. Behind her, a random passer-by photobombs the shot — a young man suddenly leaping in from the left, frozen mid-air with a wild, unhinged expression and flailing arms, almost cartoonish. His exaggerated presence clashes with the woman’s seriousness. Lighting is flat, daytime overcast, emphasizing the raw, unpolished snapshot quality. Poor composition, random tourists half-cropped at the edges, and a sense of chaotic realism as if the camera captured a fleeting, messy, and hilarious moment.

GPT‑4o
for link to original generation.
Prompt:
A painted woman, depicted in digital illustration style, her skin layered with visible brushstroke textures, stands perfectly centered in a realistic urban street, her posture quiet and composed. She holds a magenta umbrella, shielding herself from the soft rain that falls in streaks across the frame. Her face is turned slightly in profile, with the camera placed at eye level, using a symmetrical frontal composition, giving the scene a poised, contemplative stillness. Her hair transitions at the ends into delicate wisps of smoke, dyed in a vibrant palette of turquoise, purple, and gold—the smoke rising and trailing behind her in slow motion, airy and ethereal, subtly moving with the breeze. Her figure is rendered in a surreal, painterly digital style, with bold Van Gogh-inspired swirling brushstroke textures and glowing lighting. The texture of her skin and clothing contrasts against the realism of the street around her. Behind her, the busy contemporary city is photorealistic, with wet pavement reflecting colorful storefronts, passing people, cars, and trees. Every detail—the bus halting in the distance, neon shop signs glowing in puddles, and subtle reflections—is crisp and grounded. The sky is overcast, diffusing the light evenly and casting a cinematic, moody ambiance. The visual juxtaposition emphasizes two realities colliding: her surreal, painted presence vs the grounded cinematic realism of the city.

Prompt:
“ECLIPSE” – Lunar Shadow Sequence. Camera & Setting: A timelapse begins from a serene dark-turquoise ocean reflecting moonlight symmetrically framed by mountains on both sides. The camera locks on the moon as an eclipse begins. The stars swirl subtly across the bright starry sky with moving darkish clouds. VFX Text Appearance: As the moon darkens, its glowing edges form a halo that flickers and dances. Shadows creep across the landscape. Reflections dance in the ocean water, stars shimmer. The word “ECLIPSE” emerges in front of the eclipsed moon stretching outside its radius. Cinematic, futuristic title text spelling “ECLIPSE”, centered in the night sky. The font is a thin, glowing, neon-like sans-serif with extended horizontal lines. Smooth, rounded edges. Letters slightly spaced out, minimalist, sci-fi look. The glow subtly matches the moonlight. Highly stylized, modern typography with a soft reflection on a dark surface. Just before totality, the entire scene plunges into darkness. A faint corona shoots around the dark moon.

Prompt:
An older woman woman with short grey hair and a gentle, worn smile suddenly, magically, dynamically and cinematically turns younger! She raises both hands to cover her face. Mist sweeps past in front of her partly obscuring her. With a deep breath, she lowers her hands in one sweeping motion. Her younger self is revealed—radiant, chuckling and winking, with longer, windblown hair done up in a careless fashion. Her expression then switches to a knowing smile. Lightning strikes and clouds moving dramatically behind her. Above her head, illuminated text reads 'WWW.AICREATORS.TOOLS'
