Discover how the OpenAI Sora Text to Video Tool is making video creation easier than ever. Okay, so I just found out about this crazy new tool from OpenAI called Sora, and let me tell you, it’s wild! Imagine being able to make super realistic videos just by typing some text. Like, you write what you want, and boom, it turns into a video. Sounds insane, right?
What’s the Big Deal with Sora?
So, Sora lets you create videos that look almost real, and it’s super easy to use. You just type out a prompt, and in a few seconds, you get a video that could honestly trick someone into thinking it’s real. But here’s the catch: it’s only available for people using ChatGPT Pro or Plus.
There’s this feature called “Turbo” that makes short videos (between 5 and 22 seconds), and you can even pick different sizes and resolutions for your videos. The only downside? You need credits to make these videos, and the cost depends on the quality and length of the video.
How Do Credits Work?
If you’re on the ChatGPT Plus plan, you get 1,000 credits every month. But if you’re a Pro user, you get 10,000 credits. And once the month is over, your credits reset, so you can’t save them for later.
Here’s how much it costs:
- 480p videos: 20–150 credits
- 720p videos: 30–540 credits
- 1080p videos: 100–2,000 credits
The Rules and Limitations
Okay, this part is kind of a bummer. Sora has some strict rules:
- No making videos with kids under 18.
- No violent or explicit stuff.
- You can’t use copyrighted images, public figures, or logos.
Plus, every video you make has a watermark on it. So yeah, no sneaky business here.
Who Can Use It?
Here’s the kicker: if you’re in the European Union (EU), you’re out of luck for now. Sora isn’t available there because OpenAI says they need more time for reviews and updates. This happened before with their Advanced Voice Mode feature too. Honestly, it sucks for people in those regions.
Sora seems super cool for anyone into video creation. It’s definitely going to change the game for creators, but the credit system and restrictions are a bit of a letdown. Also, the EU situation kind of feels unfair, but hopefully, OpenAI will fix that soon. If you’re a ChatGPT Plus or Pro user, this tool is something you should totally try out!
