What is OpenAI's Sora? The text-to-video tool explained and how you can use it

Sora-generated image.

ChatGPT maker OpenAI unveiled Sora, its artificial intelligence engine for converting text prompts into video, way back in February 2024, but we had to wait until December 2024 for the full release, and even then it was only available in the US. So far the results we've got from it have been stunning.

Sora works exactly as you'd expect. You simply type in what kind of video you'd like to see and Sora does the rest. There are some limits on how long the video clips can be and how many you can generate. A ChatGPT Pro subscription gives you more credits and enables you to create longer clips without a watermark.
