Sora is available to ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) and Pro ($200/month) subscribers. Plus gets 50 priority videos/month. Pro gets unlimited relaxed videos.
Go to chat.openai.com and upgrade to Plus ($20/month). Sora appears as a tab in the ChatGPT interface or at sora.com.
Visit sora.com directly for the dedicated Sora interface. You'll see example videos and a prompt box at the top.
Describe your scene in full: subject, environment, lighting, camera movement, mood. 'A golden retriever running through autumn leaves in a park, slow motion, warm afternoon sunlight, cinematic.'
Select duration (5-20 seconds), aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, 1:1), and resolution before generating. Portrait mode for social, landscape for YouTube.
Sora lets you browse other users' public videos and remix them with your own prompt. Great for learning what kinds of descriptions produce the best results.
Up to 60 seconds per clip on Pro. Plus users get shorter clips. This is enough for most B-roll and social content use cases.
Remarkably realistic for simple scenes. Physics simulation and complex multi-person interactions can still show artifacts. Improving rapidly with each update.
Sora produces higher raw quality for text-to-video. Runway has more editing features. See our full video tools comparison.
