How to use Sora for text-to-video

OpenAI introduces Sora, a groundbreaking text-to-video AI model capable of converting text, images, and other assets into realistic and dynamic videos. Sora enables creators to generate and edit videos with ease, removing technical barriers for both novice and advanced users.

Learn how to get started with Sora:

Remix: Edit videos by altering scene elements. Replace objects or tweak the environment with text prompts. Control changes with strength options: subtle, mild, or strong.

Recut: Trim, loop, and refine videos by isolating scenes with Recut. Build continuity or new sequences from existing clips.

Blend: Combine two videos to create a seamless scene, blending elements from both into a harmonious result.

Loop: Loop videos effortlessly by choosing start and end points. Sora smooths transitions for seamless, endless playback—ideal for hypnotic or atmospheric visuals.

Storyboard: A timeline tool for directing videos with various actions or scenes. Users define environments, characters, and actions frame-by-frame for precise narrative control. Storyboard also allows image uploads to start video creation.
