OpenAI shut Sora down in 2026, and the Sora alternatives guide maps where each kind of Sora job can go next. Morphic is a complete AI video production workspace with an agentic video editor: Copilot picks a top model for every shot, blocks it in 3D Scene on paid plans, and edits the multi-track Compose timeline on request. Storyboards, songs, sound effects, voiceover and subtitles share the project. Save your best process as a workflow, with the model and settings kept at every step. Teams get Live collaboration from the Pro plan, and Enterprise adds User groups and permissions, Credit limits, Model access and Connectors.

What is agentic editing on Morphic?
Agentic editing means an AI agent works inside the edit itself. On Morphic, Copilot helps you stage a shot in 3D, repairs a take when you describe the change, and edits the Compose timeline on request, over three stages.
- 01
Block the shot in 3D
Place each person, set the move, the lens and the camera height, the details a prompt alone leaves to chance. - 02
Fix the take
Change a clip by instruction or extend it, relight a frame, or re-frame it from a fresh angle. - 03
Cut with Copilot
Edit the Compose timeline by hand, or describe the change and Copilot carries it out.
Each stage works by hand as well. 3D Scene flags a crossed 180-degree line, and on paid plans Copilot builds the scene from a prompt and checks its own edits. Export the frame or the shot, attach it, and the video model follows that staging.
Why teams choose Morphic over Sora
Teams moving on from Sora choose Morphic when a clip has to become a finished, edited video in one place. These parts of the workspace carry most of that work.
Copilot edits the cut
Ask Copilot to trim every shot to the beat. One undo reverses the whole edit.
Layered Compose timeline
Stack generated shots and audio, trim frame-exact, and keep captions editable.
Grade and key in place
Grade with curves, wheels and LUTs, then key a green screen on the timeline.
Takes fixed in words
Describe what a take needs in plain words, or extend it beyond its final frame.
Notes pinned to footage
Pin a note to a point, a region or a moment in a clip and tag a teammate.
Made for teams
Co-edit live from Pro. Enterprise sets groups, credit limits and model access.

Preguntas frecuentes
No. OpenAI shut down the Sora app and website on April 26, 2026, and the Sora API and models on September 24, 2026, without naming a replacement. OpenAI points users to sora.chatgpt.com/sunset to export what they made. Upload those exports to Morphic and keep working on them in one project.
Use a workspace that runs several top video models, so one shutdown never strands your work again. On Morphic, Copilot picks a model for each shot, 3D Scene blocks the staging, and Compose finishes the cut, grade and mix. For other options by job, see the Sora alternatives guide in Morphic resources.
Morphic is the stronger choice today, and Sora is no longer available: OpenAI closed the app in April 2026 and the API in September 2026. Morphic gives you the top video models picked per shot, Copilot to plan and run the work, 3D Scene to block shots, and Compose to cut, grade and mix. Sora was best known for realistic motion with sound made inside the clip.
Yes. Export your Sora videos from OpenAI, then upload the clips to Morphic or give Copilot a link to fetch them. Save a recurring character, product or style as a Reference once, and it carries into every later generation that needs it, whichever model runs the shot.
No. Sora's models never ran on Morphic, and OpenAI has now switched them off. Morphic's model picker holds the top video, image and audio models instead, so Copilot can choose one for each shot or you can pick it yourself. On Enterprise, admins set Model access for the whole workspace.
Sora was OpenAI's video model and social app, built around single clips with sound, cameos and a remix feed. Morphic is a complete AI video production workspace: Copilot picks a model for each shot, 3D Scene sets the staging, Compose finishes the cut, grade and mix, and the team reviews and co-edits live in the same project.
It hands you the parts a prompt leaves to chance: where each person stands, which way they move, the lens, and the camera position. Block the shot with mannequins and cameras, let continuity checks flag a crossed 180-degree line, then export the frame or shot and attach it as the reference the model follows.
Yes. The free plan takes a project from the first prompt to a finished cut before you pay. Paid plans add Copilot inside 3D Scene, exports without a watermark and upscaling, and from the Pro plan up, extra seats for live collaboration.
