OpenAI has launched the Sora AI video generator, a groundbreaking tool that allows users to convert text prompts into dynamic videos. Now, all of your images can come to life. This update is part of OpenAIs “12 Days of OpenAI,” and it really brings content creation to a whole new level. Enabling users from various industries to produce high-quality visual content with minimal effort. Let’s take a look at what you can do with it.
Key features of the Sora AI video generator
Sora boasts several standout features, including its ability to generate videos from descriptive text prompts. This capability opens the doors for storytelling to anyone with access to the application. Create visually compelling videos by simply describing what you want. You can also animate your photos to breathe new life into your old memories.
Another notable feature is video remixing, which lets users combine and remix existing videos to create new content. This feature can be useful for everyone, from professionals trying to be more efficient to hobbyists trying to be more creative.

Subscription plans
Sora offers two subscription tiers to accommodate users with varying requirements. ChatGPT Plus subscribers, at $20 per month, can generate up to 50 videos per month at 720p resolution, while ChatGPT Pro users, at $200 per month, gain access to 10X more usage, video creation at 1080p resolution and longer durations. Unfortunately, users on the free account will not be able to give it a try.
Open AI is also working on tailored pricing plans for different types of users that should be available sometime next year. These flexible plans aim to attract both casual users and professionals needing high-volume, high-quality output.
Safety measures to ensure responsible use
OpenAI has taken significant steps to prevent misuse of Sora’s powerful technology. The platform currently restricts the depiction of people to reduce the risk of impersonation and deepfakes. Every video created with Sora includes watermarks and metadata to indicate AI generation, ensuring transparency.
These watermarks and metadata make it easy to see that AI created the content and it is not a video of a real event.
Availability and global rollout challenges
Sora is now available in multiple countries, and the tool’s launch has generated immense interest. Due to high demand, new account creation was temporarily paused. The last time traffic from users got too high, users were able to access the features within a few days.
The huge response shows just how much users believe in the potential of AI-driven tools like Sora, while the release of this new feature shows how AI is still growing and becoming more useful.
