Overview
Sora from OpenAI is the long-awaited AI tool that turns your text into videos. Free to use with premium features for ChatGPT Plus and Pro members. This thing has a ton of options for creating custom video content.
Just type a description and it makes a video. Supports different aspect ratios and resolutions up to 1080p, videos max out at 20 seconds. You can remix videos or blend multiple prompts to make seamless scenes. But it has some bugs—like objects not staying consistent or realistic physics, which can lead to some weird visuals.
Launched in December 2024, Sora is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro members in regions where ChatGPT works—except the EU, Switzerland, and the UK. OpenAI will have pricing plans for different users next year. Sora is reported to have strong censorship going far beyond blocking content like sexual deepfakes or child exploitation. For now it also limits uploading real people to test deepfake controls.
The simple setup and integration with ChatGPT makes it perfect for creators looking for new video ideas. While it has limitations and hiccups, Sora offers much more than just text-to-video or image-to-video generation. Features such as remixing, blending, and looping are currently unique to Sora.

Compare With an Alternative
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.

Orbit around the burning chair as the fire gets wilder followed by chair exploding violently sending burning debris flying in all directions, lighting up the night landscape.Generated on December 18, 2024:
A sausage dog wearing stylish wind goggles drives a gleaming chrome motorcycle, its long ears flapping wildly in the breeze, and its mouth open in an excited, playful expression. The dog looks thrilled as it grips the handlebars tightly. In the front basket of the motorcycle, a ginger-and-white cat sits energetically, its fur tousled by the wind, with wide, excited eyes and an open-mouthed expression of joy. The background features a vast countryside road stretching into the distance, lined with golden fields and distant mountains under warm golden sunlight. The entire scene exudes quirky, dynamic energy with a fun and cinematic vibe.Generated on December 21, 2024:
The camera moves in a slow dolly shot, revealing a woman seated motionless at a gilded desk. Her posture is upright but relaxed, and the desk is cluttered with peculiar trinkets: a tiny wind-up robot, a stack of mismatched teacups, and a miniature cactus wearing a bow tie. The frame captures her from behind, the gold of the desk gleaming in vibrant, playful light. A massive, ornate mirror dominates the wall before her, its gilded frame now adorned with dangling fairy lights. In the mirror’s reflection, her face comes into view—she’s smiling warmly, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous, playful glint, as if she’s just thought of something delightfully absurd.Generated on December 21, 2024:
A sleek humanoid robot performs a mesmerizing dance in a stark, minimalistic futuristic room. The seamless white walls glow softly with pulsing lines of light, creating a sharp contrast against the robot’s dark figure. The camera starts with a static wide shot, gradually moving into a slow orbit around the robot, capturing its fluid, precise movements. The room’s dynamic lighting synchronizes with the rhythm of the dance, casting glowing patterns and subtle shadows on the floor and walls. The overall scene combines elegance, sophistication, and a high-tech sci-fi aesthetic.Generated on December 23, 2024:
