OpenAI initially showcased the Sora feature back in February of 2024, granting a select group of filmmakers and artists access for testing purposes. Now, individuals with a paid ChatGPT account can freely explore and experiment with this exciting video generation feature. Users subscribed to ChatGPT Plus have access to video clips with a resolution of up to 720p and a duration of five seconds. On the other hand, ChatGPT Pro subscribers enjoy full 1080p resolution and extended video durations.

Besides the core functionality of generating videos from text prompts, Sora offers various additional features to enhance the user experience. Users can remix videos, creatively sequence scenes like a film by stringing together multiple prompts, and even convert still images into animated clips.
