About Sora
Sora is a Video generation tool from OpenAI, launched in 2024. OpenAI's text-to-video model. Strong physics simulation and longer-form coherence than competitors; included with ChatGPT Plus and Pro.
Notable capabilities include Up to 20-second clips on Pro, 1080p output, and Storyboard mode for multi-shot. Teams typically deploy Sora for chatGPT Pro subscribers exploring video AI and concept and storyboard work.
Common trade-offs to weigh: no public API yet and output style less film-grade than Runway. AIMenta editorial take for APAC mid-market: Worth using if you already have ChatGPT Pro. For production work, Runway and Kling are usually better choices.
