It was daytime when I reached my office and was exploring on the internet about new things in artificial intelligence.

I suddenly read about “Sora: Text-To-Video” generation tool empowered with OpenAI’s legacy technology.

So, guys after ChatGPT, we have an incredible text-to-video tool for creative people like you and me.

Sora OpenAI release date confirmed and the model released on Monday (December 9) built by OpenAI in San Francisco, California.

In addition to this, a popular YouTuber Marques Brownlee reportedly got early access to the video generator and released a brief review on his channel on Monday morning.

What Is Sora By OpenAI?

SORA is an incredible text-to-video generation tool that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to generate 5 seconds to 20 seconds hyper realistic videos from text.

To be noted, Chatgpt plus users can generate videos of up to five seconds only while chatgpt pro users have access to unlimited generation up to 20 seconds.

Note: The Sora text to video generator is relatively helpful in creative, fun, and commercial uses. People involved in marketing, blogging, and other creative aspects can utilise this tool at brilliance, while competing with Runway’s Gen-3 alpha, Kuaishou Technology’s Kling and Meta’s Movie Gen models.

What Are The Abilities Of Sora?

In my opinion, Sora can be a powerful tool and in the coming days it will gain cosmic popularity because it generates really amazing videos from texts.

However, it would lag offering Ultra HD resolution that Midjourney and Runway’s model offer, but that’s too standard for now.

Speaking of the platform ability, it include:

👉 Cinematic video creation.
👉 Hyper-realistic and in-depth focus.
👉 Transform photos into dynamic videos.
👉 Intelligence algorithm and fast video generation.
👉 Can generate videos from text and reference images.
👉 Post edit your videos, save them in the library, etc.
