Sora has a New Trick! Plus a Dive into the Latest Features & Music Video 

I think that for ai to get to the point where professional quality, feature length, lifelike films can be consistently made, the prompts will be less about creating a scene from scratch and more about creating detailed assets. For instance, you use the prompts to generate realistic, fully-rigged, 3D models of your actors. They become locked in as an asset that you can drag and drop into a scene, since it’s a saved asset, it should keep perfectly consistent throughout. This means you’d need to create every version of said actor, including clothing changes, just to keep them consistent. Then your sets and locations. Your props. All of these would be 3D models, generated by prompts and locked in for consistency. Once you have all of your assets generated and you’re content with them, that’s your media library…you can start prompting your scenes and shots, calling upon the assets from your library. Would this require an incredible amount of servers and processors to generate? Sure, but in think ai companies know this, so this level of video production may not be readily available for the enthusiasts, it’ll be reserved for studios and those who can afford to use the technology at this level. Studios would still save a fortune building content this way. As infrastructure improves, technology costs will come down and the indie filmmaker and hobbyist could join in on the fun.

I think it's pretty mind-blowing that Sora can generate realistic moving, walking people, anyone who's tried sculpting and animating a human character in a 3D app will tell you how immensely difficult that is

Character consistency would really take Sora to the next level as a storytelling tool.

Absolutely awesome, thank you for sharing and explaining it so well :)

Your content is greatly appreciated! Thanks for all of your hard work! Cheers 🍻

576p is Standard Def PAL resoultion. The bane of my existence for many years!

Great coverage!

Always with that top notch unbiased information! Thanks as good sir

I enjoy your Runway version of the Infinite zoom!

Thanks for the shoutout at the end! 🙏😊

What is that background. Grandpa reading room ?? 😂 Love your videos 🤩

I'm loving the homey vibe of Studio B, only thing missing is a big mug of coffee. 🙂

Wow, SORA In-painting is going to be next level!

Can't wait to purchase this. It would be interesting to see what Maya, Blender, Unreal, and Unity do with this technology.

The Infinite Zoom Videos are Amazing.

Thanks for the update! Is the first 2-sec a voice clone?

Now that monitor was a serious throwback! ❤️

The real problem is "how SORA will retain characters identity in a film"

We're such a fan of your reporting and insights! Can't wait to experiment with Sora when it's publicly available. If/when you've got a moment, we'd love it if you could check out our latest music video (Gilded Cage) and let us know what you think - our current pipeline is pretty much all AI, save editing in Premiere.

What's the AI video generator called at the end of the video? Blade Round?

Holy smokes, Tim. The walking animations!

Do you know if SORA will be capable of generating 180 3D VR immersive videos? For example you could ask it to make a TRex chasing you, Avatar Flight of Passage, or Star Wars Death Star trench and tunnel chase.

Just curious, what kinds of films/media did you make before all this AI stuff came along? Is there anywhere we can look at your non-AI-related work?

i already mastered character consistency in stable diffusion XL (only for 2D image though), now all i need for sora is to have good img to video generation

Soras video output looks like in my dream. People in the bus while walking in the bus that never ends.

Would you recommend any online film making course that is worth it?

Thanks for the update on Sora! Promising. I'm wondering if this will become a worldwide used tool, or if people's interest will drop because of the "hallucination" aspect (like the weird cars, the guy running inside the mirror, etc.). Like, will this primarily be a great addition to music videos creation (commonly validating new/unleashed visual styles) or will this pass the test of real storytelling, involving details like precise framing, ultimate use of light and shadow, camera move, detailed scene composition, etc. My fear is that we will never see the in between stage and go from where we're at now to a movie fully generated by AI with very little human control. When my personal dream is a fully controllable tool to free movie creation for all. Kind of what happened with samplers in the music industry in the 80s. Maybe these AI video generators shouldn't be that smart after all, but more like perfect at executing human's vision. We shall see

576p is weird? it makes sense. 1024 x 576. 1024 being 2^10. 1024 x 1024 is a very common resolution.

Nice painting

Hello. Have you tried Krea yet? Pretty cool. I'm an animator and Krea allows key framing.

Waiting on your ElevenLab's latest music feature teaser review now lol

The 10% angle isn't a big deal to me. As a writer, I've always followed what I call the "iceberg formula," in that 90% or more of the work I do is never seen by the audience, similar to how most of an iceberg is below water and can't be seen by those above water. I consider that to be pretty typical.

Some time ago, I've been thinking that the work/products of companies like Viggle and Mootion are reasonably more important than those of Sora

OK, I love what I have seen of Sora.....but now the dust has settled (and I'm definitely NOT hating here) I'm not blown away by it. I have a feeling part of the reason its not released yet is its not ready and what we have seen may be cherry picked results after numerus video prompt generations. I personally feel making a semi quality pro short film using 'just' a tool like SORA is still someway off (18 months or so). It may well be a hardware issue (NVIDIA may well be the answer here). But I do like SORA and other video generators, and still very early days - exciting times :D

Is that the Apple XDR display? It looks so chunky.

Probably watched 50 of your really great videos. Way about tim(e) [*pun intended] to hit that subscribe button 😳

RU-vid really won't be the same when sora does ever gets released to the public lol

Keep AI weird! ;) Great stuff Tim, as always.

No i can't all be done with what we have now lol. ugh can't wait to be able to use sora

Does anyone have any idea about when we can expect Sora to be released and what will be the length of the videos that we can create once Sora releases?

well after the text in video Sora from OpenAI little helped film producers is content to have ideas on a creation so its goods too 😊😊😊👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍

Gentle reminder...green fill light is fine...if you're Gore Verbinski! LOL. Jk jk. As always...thanks for keeping the community up to date, my good sir!

This is the guy that would stand at the side of the field, watching the Wright brothers and be like, " That's never going to get me to Europe for my Vaca!"

This rly should never go into public hands

Dont pay attention to sora hype until it is accessible

480p is weirder than 576p 576p is when you divide 720p by 1.25 576p is still a real 16:9 format. 480p is not. Because a real 16:9 480p would be 853.33333 x 480, and that is not possible.

very big improvement. actors can be chosen by us:) or old movies can be changed to modern times:) or for exampe japenese movie can be changed as a west movie:) especialy the old ones:)

That music video gives me the creeps xD After looking at AI stuff too long i have a bit of a crisis and lose my sense of reality, especially when I look at real people again.

Reminds me of « Je danse le Mia », one of Michel Gondry’s early music videos.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Sora is just so awsome, i am always inpressed with it!

What happened to your audio recording lately? Since your new location the sound quality is indeed terrible! Keep the good work anyway!!

It wears thin to hear updates on something that isn't even out yet.

New trick? I thought it wasn’t even out yet.

Damn you AI overlords! I'm truly getting fatiqued by the constant teasing of video AI in it's different forms. It's not only SORA, but almost almost all of the truly cool features like Animate Anything, Microsofts VASA-1 ect. I mean, Pika and RunawayML are cool tools and all, but if ya wanna make something coherent, it takes alot of trial and error and compromise and frankly that stuff just isn't that interesting anymore. One option would be to blast 5k on a computer and truly start learning Automatic 1111....

👏🏻😁

The ratio was 300 to 1…..and in other news, Apple mentioned for the first time the word AI in a launch presentation……

San Fancisco was on purpose I guess

How the heck are adobe gonna cover the $500 for 30 seconds in a $20 a month subscription 😂😂😂

Sora is the benchmark tool for text to video AI......all the others are far behind IMO

I can't stand the nauseating infinite zooms. I want to know why this is so popular. Let's try doing something unique guys.

I think at this point, everyone is asking in their head the same question. How much is all this going to cost? But even more so... who is this for? It is an easy guess that the vast majority of AI image generators, are kids who play around, mainly creating images for social media etc. And a very helpful factor in this, is the generation time, which is now less than a minute. Kids today can wait for a minute, but an hour for video..? And do what with it? I am going to take a wild guess that this is going to be expensive and addressed to serious users, who like in Midjourney are a minority. Even a mucisian who would like to make music videos for his songs.... how many videos will you make? Does it worth a monthly subscription? Personally I would love to make two or three videos for my music, but do I want to be part of a monthly paying model for that? Probably not. So do we have any news, rumors, or suggestions about the pricing plans of Sora yet? Also.... you are killing me man... it might be a good idea to leave your grandmother's favorite frame out of RU-vid... still looks better than nothing, but... com' on!

Need 10 clips to get something useful. 1 hour generation per clip. Need 50 clips for a short video. OpenAI: "That would be 500$"

bon après le texte en vidéo Sora de OpenAI peu aidé les producteurs de films est de contenu pour avoir des idée sur une création donc ses biens aussi 😊😊😊👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍

👋

I'm keen but have no audio skills or experience and I absolutely ha te adobe as a company.

Why do you keep dangling Sora in our faces, while we all know that we won't have it?! :(

Critical of Sora?? Sora what? We can’t even use it. It doesn’t exist until it comes out. And how does Sora allow you to modify and edit what it creates? Isn’t it going to be the same as every other AI app that does great magic 8 Ball videos, but no way to change what you have and keep the rest of the image. Even your video example changes the entire image and camera move on every variation. And 15 min to 1 hour to generate a video, but at a 300:1 ratio that a LOT of wasted time. None of these apps will be able to be used for industry work.. so at the moment it’s just for fun. Like an AI fidget spinner.

At this point... according the social pressure between men and woman.. we soon have only virtual friends...Women are too much selective.. virtual women always are free to talk and they will be perfect..

Sora has not leveled up... Sora has done nothing other than be a rumour for some time now. Sora is doing nothing much at all.

It still has that nauseating AI look. It's just offputting. And as a note: yeah, it's fine for a certain kind of slurpy surrealism, but most films are not that, and empty slurpy surrealism is only interesting in small doses. As a final note: this video has no copyright. So if you want to use the images in your own music video, orin a hard core porn even, anything, go ahead, because you can't copyright "AI" output..

Are u millionaire!? 👀

Text to video is good, video to video is not good . 비디오 투 비디오가 제대로 되려면 텍스트 투 비디오가 소라까지 오는데 걸린 시간에 비해 꽤 많은 시간이 필요할듯.

I didn't realize that incoherent crap is considered a style. Do you understand what it means to have a style!? Randomly generating incoherent images is not a style.

Stop showing the capabilities, just bring it out .... I BET THE CHINESE ARE WORKING ON SOMETHING MORE ADVANCED

cringe

STOP REPORTING ON SORA!!! ITS NOT OUT..WHO THE FUCK CARES

you talk about something you dont know. You0re just talking about the videos sora's presenting.

cringe
