OpenAI’s recent unveiling of Sora, an AI video generator capable of producing remarkably realistic minute-long videos, has sparked considerable interest and speculation. People are divided into two main camps: some ponder whether Sora might render traditional video production methods obsolete, while others are eager to get their hands on it and try it out for themselves.

However, for those curious to experiment with Sora, the wait continues. Despite its public announcement, OpenAI is still rigorously testing the technology to ensure it doesn’t produce any harmful or inappropriate content. Moreover, they’re actively seeking feedback from a select group of visual artists, designers, and filmmakers to enhance the model’s utility for creative professionals.

For those interested, OpenAI has shared several impressive demos, and CEO Sam Altman has been sharing videos created in response to user requests. However, a definitive timeline for a widespread release of Sora has not been provided. Therefore, unless you are directly involved in the testing phases, you will have to remain patient and make do with the existing demonstrations to get a glimpse of Sora’s capabilities.

Alternatively, you could try Midjourney’s video generator which is publicly available for now.
