Integrate your likeness to personalize AI-generated videos.

Sora by OpenAI enables users to create AI-generated videos by describing scenes or integrating their own 'likeness' into prompts. Access to Sora requires a ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription and an invite code, which can be found online. The app features a social media-like feed, mood-based filtering, and options to edit, download, and share generated videos.

Accessing Sora

00:00:30 To use Sora, download the app on iOS or access it via Sora.com in a browser, though Android app availability is currently absent. Users must have a ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription and an elusive invite code, often found on platforms like X, Reddit threads, or the official OpenAI Discord, to gain access to the platform.

Creating and Editing Videos

00:01:44 Videos are created by tapping the plus icon and entering a text prompt, or integrating a 'likeness' after a quick setup process which includes setting privacy for its use. Users can select video orientation (portrait or landscape) and, with Sora 2 Pro, adjust resolution for higher quality before generating, and later edit, post, download, or delete their videos from the drafts section.
