1. Introduction to Sora

Sora is a multimodal generation model developed by OpenAI, which can generate videos based on the text description entered by users. It is based on large-scale visual and language models, learns massive amounts of visual and dynamic data, can understand text and convert it into visual content, and then generates short videos. Sora can be widely used in areas such as advertising production, film creativity, social media content generation, education and training video production.

2. Basic steps to using Sora

2.1 Register and get access

At present, Sora is still in the testing stage of some users, so first you need to apply for access through OpenAI's official website, or wait for an invitation. If you have already obtained access, you can follow the steps below to get started.

  • Visit OpenAI official website https://openai.com .

  • Log in or register your OpenAI account.

  • Find the Sora model in the user control panel and request permissions for use.

2.2 Create a new project

After you successfully log in to the OpenAI platform, enter the control panel and you will see the Sora entrance. After clicking to enter, you can choose to create a new project. Each project will generate a set of video content, allowing you to adjust input parameters according to your needs.

  • Select a video theme : On the Sora project creation page, you can select the type and content theme of the video. For example, you can choose "Natural Landscape", "Science Fiction City" or "Festival Events", etc.

  • Enter a text description : Enter the content you want the video to display in the text box. The more specific the description, the better, and the more detailed the description can help Sora generate more accurate videos. For example: "A red fox travels through the forest in winter, with falling snowflakes in the background."

2.3 Configuration Generation Parameters

After entering text, Sora will let you select some generated parameters, such as:

  • Video Duration : You can set the length of the generated video, usually the short video duration is 5 to 30 seconds.

  • Resolution and Quality : Select the output resolution of the video (e.g. 1080p, 4K) and video quality (high, medium, low).

  • Frame rate : Choose the frame rate according to your needs (such as 30 fps or 60 fps).

2.4 Video preview and modification

The process of generating a video takes some time, usually several minutes. After generation, you can preview and view the video's effects. If you are not satisfied with the generated video, you can adjust the text description or settings and regenerate it.

2.5 Download or share

Once you are satisfied with the video, you can choose to download the video or share it directly to the social media platform. Downloaded videos can be used in advertising, social media content, or other creative projects.

3. Sora's case of generating video models

Let's better understand how to use Sora with some practical examples:

Case 1: Create a natural scenery video

Suppose you are a travel blogger and want to create a short video about nature. You can enter the following text description:

" In the sunny spring, the lake is filled with colorful flowers, and a few egrets are flying on the lake, behind which are the continuous mountains. "

Based on this description, Sora will generate a short video of about 10 seconds, showing elements such as spring lakes, flowers and flying egrets. You can adjust the resolution and duration, and finally download and share.

Case 2: Making a science fiction city video

If you are a science fiction writer and want to create a visually rich video for your story, try the following text:

" The night view of a future city, the sky is full of neon lights, flying cars are shuttled through the air, and the city's buildings are towering into the clouds. "

With Sora, you will get a futuristic short video showing elements such as flying cars, neon lights and tall buildings.

Case 3: Festival Event Video

If you are planning a festival and need promotional video, you can enter:

During Christmas, the streets were filled with colorful lights, and the children were building snowmen, and the air was filled with the scent of hot chocolate.

Sora generates a warm Christmas vibe video that is suitable for promoting your event.
