Sora.com, an OpenAI website created for the latest OpenAI video generator, is officially live today. The tool isn’t built into the famous ChatGPT, an OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot platform. Sora seems to be its own separate product for now.
Videos on the Sora homepage can be categorized into folders, bookmarked for later viewing to a “Saved” tab, and clicked to reveal the text prompts that were used to produce them. “Sora can edit existing Sora-originated videos and create videos from uploaded images and prompts,” Brownlee said.
According to Brownlee, Sora can produce videos up to 1080p, but the longer the video takes to produce, the greater the resolution. The fastest choice, 480p, takes 8 times as long as 1080p, while 720p takes 4 times as long.
In his testing, Brownlee reported that the typical 1080p video took a “couple of minutes” to produce. According to him, “that’s also, like, right now, when almost no one else is using it.” “I’m curious how much longer it will take once this is available to anybody.”
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s.
According to Brownlee, Sora has a “Storyboard” option that allows users to combine prompts to build scenes or video sequences in addition to creating one-off films. Presumably, this will help with consistency, which is a well-known shortcoming of AI video creators.
However, how is Sora doing? According to Brownlee, it has the same shortcomings as previous generative tools, specifically problems with object permanence. Things move inexplicably in front of or behind one another in Sora videos, and they vanish and reappear for no apparent cause.
According to Brownlee, legs are another key source of Sora’s issues. Sora confuses the front and back legs whenever a human or animal with legs must walk over an extended period in a clip. According to Brownlee, there is no way for the legs to “swap” back and forth anatomically.
According to Brownlee, Sora has several built-in protections that forbid producers from producing a video that features individuals younger than eighteen, contain violence or “explicit themes,” or that might violate the copyright of a third party. According to Brownlee, Sora also watermarks every film, albeit with an easily cropped visible watermark, and won’t create videos using photos of famous people, well-known characters, or logos.
