OpenAI Sora tutorial

Have you ever dreamed of creating your own video in a few words, or even editing, blending or transforming it as you wish? OpenAI's Sora makes this possible! This tutorial is adapted from OpenAI's official YouTube video, which condenses the core skills from getting started to getting started. Whether you want to create a long-haired elephant adventure in the desert or a fantasy scene that blends insects and flowers, this guide will take you step by step to unlock the infinite possibilities of Sora.

1. Introduction

Sora is a tool that creates and edits videos through text prompts. It supports generating videos and provides editing functions such as storyboards, re-editing, mixing, mixing, and looping. This tutorial will take you to get started step by step from basic to advanced.

2. Getting started: Create your first video

Step: Enter a text prompt at the bottom Composer, such as "I want to see a family of long-haired elephants in the desert."

Settings: Adjust style presets, aspect ratio, resolution, duration, and variations.

Generate: Click "Create" to preview the video in the library, hover the mouse and slowly play it, and click to enlarge it.

Subsequently: You can further edit (storyboard, editing, etc.) or share and download with one click.

Explore: View community work, learn and imitate skills.

3. Storyboard: Timeline Editing

Turn on: Click the "Story Board" button to enter timeline mode.

Operation: Add a subtitle card (describe the scene, such as "Red Crane Standing in the River"), adjust the timeline to control the scene switching.

Tips: The cards are moderately spaced to avoid abrupt editing or lengthy shots.

Example: The first half of the "Crane stands in the middle of the river", and the second half of the "Crane leans into the water".

4. Re-editing: Trim and Extend

Function: Trim video clips or extend the duration.

Action: Select the video, click "Re-Clip", crop the retained part, and the blank space will be automatically filled.

Example: Keep the first second to 5 seconds, or delete the middle segment connection head and tail.

5. Mix: Fusion of two videos

Function: Fusion of two videos to create new material.

Function: Change elements through natural language, such as "changing the building to a medieval style".

Strength: Strong (large modification), mild (moderate adjustment), subtle (small repair).

Steps: Click "Mix", enter the command, and select the intensity to run.

7. Loop: play seamlessly repeat

Function: Repeat video clips to generate seamless loops.

Operation: Click "Loop", set the start and end points, and generate loops of different lengths (short/normal/long).

Example: Background loop of grassland fog landscape or running sheep.
