Open AI has released Sora for video to paid subscribers

Open AI’s Sora has been released and paid users can give it a try. It can make video up to 1080 and 20 seconds long, though standard videos are 480, and you need open AI’s $200 a month Pro plan to do 1080. And it can remix uploaded video and even create sequences.

You can see examples at the Sora site.

Reviews seem pretty mixed.

Of course this is gen 1, and it will improve, but so far it is not really something to worry about.

Honestly I would love to see a day where you can have a local AI trained on your photos and videos, but companies don’t want that, they want subscriptions!

Hollywood Reporter on Tyler Perry putting 800 Million Studio expansion on hold because of OpenAI’s Sora

From Katie Kilkenny at The Hollywood Reporter. And Sora does look pretty damn amazing, though will have to see what you actually get out of it, doubt it will be 4k images, at least for now. And Sora did blow my mind when I first saw it, and I think it will put people out of work for sure, though copyright issues may be what keeps it out of say advertisements.

Still I don’t quite buy that the whole 800 million expansion is killed because of this alone. I would say even with Sora you would still need actors, but something like this will likely help create virtual environments, and in that case you would need less actual stage space, but more high tech stages with something like Stagecraft installed. And for that you don’t need more stages, but to upgrade a few existing stages, and you can have the equivalent of all those stages.

Open AI’s upcoming text to video AI Sora has been shown, and it makes me worry about my future as an editor!

Open AI’s new text to video AI Sora, looks damn amazing. I mean, like real world

The processing power this requires must be insane, because these videos look incredible and so realistic. There will certainly be a point when many things are just created by AI, I mean why pay for footage, when you can get completely realistic footage and just what you want?

I mean hopefully there will still human editors at some level, but at some point there will likely be a lot less humans, though getting good at AI is certainly a good idea.
