Sora Features & Highlights

Sora is an AI video platform that turns text prompts, images, or existing clips into short, polished videos in your browser. You describe the scene, add reference visuals if you have them, and generate several takes. The editor gives you fast iteration tools. Remix changes details without starting over. Re-cut trims and extends moments. Storyboard pins beats on a simple timeline. Loop creates seamless repeats. Blend transitions one clip into another. Presets save a look you can apply across a series. Plus and Pro plans set practical limits for duration and resolution, with faster queues and watermark-free downloads on Pro.
