Even in my all-too-brief hands-on, I could see that Sora is about to change everything about video creation.
Even so, this glimpse was so, so worth it.
The announcement crew.
The AI video-generation platform warrants its own destination atSora.com.
I also had to provide my age (the year is blurred because I am vain).
The landing page is, as promised, a library grid of everyone else’s AI-generated video content.
The announcement crew.
I chose, though, to generate something new.
There’d be a campfire nearby and a friendly dog.
It was not a detailed description.
Start with your birthday.
I hit the up arrow on the right-hand side of the prompt box, and Sora got to work.
Within about a minute, I had two five-second video options.
Well, at least one of them did.
These presets look like fun.
One clip featured a golden retriever with an extra tail where its head should’ve been.
Over the course of the video’s 5-second runtime, the extra tail did become a head.
The other video was less distressing.
I got two option, only one of which was useful.
In fact, it was nearly perfect.
The problem was the rocket ship it was a model and not something my character could fly in.
I chose the video with the normal dog and then selected remix.
This was my first AI video.
I also wanted it repositioned behind him and finally asked for the campfire to be partially visible.
The remix took almost five minutes, resulting in another beautiful video.
I also tried using Storyboard to create another video.
A gif of my remix. Note the fire.
Which may mean things like nudity and violence would be rejected outright.
I think we’ll just have to wait and see what happens on this front.
Server issues aside, it’s clear Sora is set to turn the video creation industry on its head.
The storyboard tool looks pretty powerful.
I guarantee you the model will get more powerful, the tools even smarter, and servers more plentiful.
One thing to note is that Sora does not always create exactly what you describe.
Guess it’s like any auteur.
