FAQs

What is Sora?
Sora is OpenAI's AI video generation model that can create high-quality video from text descriptions. It demonstrates understanding of 3D space, physics, and complex visual scenes, and is known for handling imaginative and creative prompts exceptionally well.
How long can Sora videos be?
Sora can generate videos up to 20 seconds in length at 1080p resolution, one of the longest durations among AI video models, making it suitable for more complete narrative sequences.
What is Sora best at?
Sora excels at creative, imaginative, and conceptual content. It has strong spatial understanding and language comprehension, making it ideal for bringing abstract ideas and fantastical scenarios to life visually.
How does Sora compare to Veo 3.1?
Veo 3.1 leads in raw photorealism and physics accuracy with 4K output. Sora offers longer durations (20s vs 8s) and stronger creative imagination capabilities. Use Veo for maximum realism, Sora for creative and conceptual content.
Can I use images with Sora?
Yes. Sora supports image-to-video mode, letting you upload a reference image and generate video that extends or animates the scene while maintaining visual consistency.
How do I use Sora on Morphic?
Open Copilot, describe your scene, and select Sora. Its 20-second duration gives more room for narrative beats than most video models, so prompts that describe a small sequence of actions tend to play to its strengths.
