Sora
Generate cinematic, physically accurate video up to 60 seconds from text prompts or images. OpenAI's flagship video model, built directly into ChatGPT.
Overview
Sora is OpenAI's video generation model that creates high-definition, physically accurate video from text prompts, images, or existing video clips. Unlike other models that struggle past a few seconds, Sora can produce videos up to 60 seconds with consistent character appearance, lighting, and camera motion. It understands how objects behave in the real world — shadows, reflections, and physics — which is why the outputs read as cinematic rather than synthetic. Integrated into ChatGPT for Plus and Pro subscribers, it's accessible without a separate API setup. Used by filmmakers, marketers, and creative teams for concept visualization, social content, and rapid prototyping of video ideas that would otherwise require a full shoot.
