Sora

Sora is OpenAI's video generation model, capable of producing photorealistic videos up to one minute long from text, images, or input video. Set a new bar in late 2024 for AI video, particularly on physics simulation, camera movement, and cinematic style. Storyboard mode (Pro tier) lets you place prompt cards along a timeline for narrative consistency. Plus tier ($20/month) gets 50 generations of 5s 720p clips; Pro tier ($200/month) unlocks 1080p, 20-second clips, no watermark, and unlimited slow-mode generation. Best for: cinematic shots, marketing teasers, image-to-video animation, and concept work requiring believable physics.
