Overview - Sora

OpenAI's text-to-video and video-remix app, bundled with ChatGPT plans.

Sora turns prompts, images or clips into short videos with sound and offers remix and storyboard tools. Good for concept clips, social video and quick previsualisation; output still needs review for physics and text.
