Sora AI Is Changing Video Creation Forever. Here’s How to Use It Like a Pro
What Is Sora?
Sora is an AI video generation platform built by the creators of ChatGPT. It allows anyone to create realistic, cinematic videos directly from text prompts.
Through the tutorial summarized by TextTube, users can learn how to:
- access Sora,
- select a subscription plan,
- create their first video,
- and improve it using remix and strength adjustment tools.

Access and Subscription Plans
To access Sora, you’ll need to log in with your OpenAI or ChatGPT credentials. Free users can view other people’s videos, but creating your own requires a paid subscription.
There are two tiers to choose from:
Plus Plan:
- Great for non-commercial use
- generating 720p videos with a watermark.
- During the review,Plus users could make 10-second videos at 480p.
Pro Plan:
- Designed for serious creators who want faster rendering,
- higher quality, and watermark-free results.
Even if you run out of credits, you can still create videos — they’ll just take a little longer to process.
Creating Your First AI Video
Creating your first Sora video starts with a simple prompt. The simpler, the better — Sora works best when your description avoids overly detailed interactions or too many moving elements.
TextTube’s guide recommends the CAST method for writing effective prompts:
- Character: Who’s in the video
- Action: What they’re doing
- Setting: Where it happens
Time: When it takes place
This method ensures your video feels clear, stable, and visually consistent.
Remixing, Iteration, and Camera Presets
After generating your first clip, you can iterate or remix it to refine the results.
Sora also offers powerful camera presets, lighting styles, and film stock effects, allowing you to achieve anything from a cinematic movie look to a surreal fantasy atmosphere.
You can even upload your own photos or video clips to animate them — turning still moments into living scenes.
Sora’s Strengths and Weaknesses
Sora performs incredibly well in fantasy and abstract art videos, where visual creativity matters more than realism.
However, it still struggles with text-based visuals, infographics, and celebrity likenesses.
Sora currently supports six main content types:
b-roll, animations/abstract art, data/infographics, celebrities, fantasy, and kids’ content.
Final Thoughts
Sora represents a breakthrough in AI-powered filmmaking — giving anyone the power to create high-quality videos in minutes without advanced editing skills.
By focusing on simple prompts, remixing, and preset settings, you can make professional-looking videos that stand out online.
