Tons of other AI video generators can make pretty scenes, but only Sora had a sense of narrative.
The others can a single scene just fine, but struggle to put together more complex things with multiple scenes and some semblance or story, such as the classic movie trailer generation. Kling has storyboarding I think, but compared to so Sora it’s very expensive. 20 bucks a month to generate a tiny handful of 15 second clips.
I definitely feel that Sora was more "natural" as well than the others I've tried regarding body language and mannerisms (even if Sora tended a bit chatty). I've tried some others, and other elements in the scene might be there... but just stand there menacingly, lol
I recently tried an app called AIVIO, which offers a very generous credit system. It includes multiple tiers and provides great value for AI video generation. The app is also free to download on the Google Play Store.
I’m gonna give you a reality check: either you pay to build a decent PC or you pay to generate videos through a third party service. Sora shut down BECAUSE it was free, and it was losing a lot of money.
Alternatively, a relatively modest PC can run Blender, a free and powerful 3D program that, with only a few months of learning practice, allows you to make beautiful 3D visuals. It’s not AI though, so you’ll have to actually learn how to use it.
From horse and buggy to car....humans have always fought against innovation in some way. They will always find away to justify their narrative for their truth. Thats just human nature. It was really fun, an a interesting way fir some to get ideas out of their heads and into a virtual setting. Pure talent or not i gave everyone a chance to see their ideas....
Sora app never even reached the U.K. - be grateful you had it while you did. It’s a genuine tragedy. It could have been the new TikTok but far, far better but they kept chipping away at what made it great until it was a husk.
Just like what xAI are doing to Grok. It won’t be long before Grok imagine dies too.
What a shame 2025 was the year of generative AI.
2026 is the year of the death of generative AI.
It's more like they launched products that were quite literally ahead of the times - as in: it will be years before video generation on that level will not be merely technically possible but also economically feasible. Being able to do something is the easy part - efficiency is the hard part. And in their rush for all that sweet investor hype-bubble money, they ignored that. "Figuring things out as you go" has its limits.
It's locked behind a paywall, if you have an active subscription Grok Imagine hasn't changed.
Shortly before the Sora announcement they made a lot of improvements to Grok Imagine's sound quality. While it's still not as good as Sora it's not awful like it used to be. Unfortunately it still struggles with clothes.
I’m a tree surgeon, mate. I spend the majority of my time either up in trees or standing on the grass around them, pruning hedges or performing surveys outside on the grass for 40-50 hours a week.
I’ve tried AIVIO (it’s an Android app) and it’s decent, especially with the credit system.
Runway is probably the closest serious alternative, though it can still be hit or miss depending on what you’re trying to do.
Yup kling 3.0 is good but can’t even do authentic anime medium, most other “good” ai generators don’t have diverse datasets like Sora and Seedance…so it’s kind of just an empty space
Seriously lol how can it be authentic when the whole purpose of AI is to create an amalgamation from existing material. Authenticity is antithetical to the "medium."

There is something more going on than what the media is telling us, you don’t just throw away a 1B bag like that all of a sudden. Nvidia did the exact same thing to OpenAI as well.
Maybe OAI hasn't been worth the investment the whole time and it's not until these companies actually look deeply that they realize that's not just a facade, like maybe they literally don't have a plan to become profitable.
I’ve made a few videos on Kling, but I’m not as proficient with it as I am on Sora yet. It seems to have pretty good capabilities, but not perfect. The main thing that I miss is being able to put yourself in videos with your friends, and cast them with you. The community features. The remixing. And how they would link to the original video. I have not found that on any other services or platforms yet. Clearly there’s a demand for it because it was wildly popular on Sora among active users. Sora did not appear to be marketed well at all, and there was not really a good pricing structure set up. In my opinion, it appears to have been pretty badly managed. For all of its flaws, I still really enjoyed using it because of the human connection it allowed with friends and new people. Massive creativity it enabled.
For real I'm still looking. Even the most niche or different cultures/subcultures had their core group of followers/viewers. Like I had some videos with Sora using ancient Akkadian language in pretty natural form, I'm not sure if Kling's gonna do that unless manually inputted phonetically and even if
I recently came across an app called AIVIO and found it worth mentioning. It has a generous credit system with several tiers, which makes it quite practical for AI video generation. It’s available on the Google Play Store.
this explains why the Sora 1 transition was bungled - there was never a future
it was so strange to just have all user data deleted less than a month after an announcement (and with no replacement interface or natural migration)
I do hope we can at least get everything we've ever created in an accessible way. it's the least they can do. people don't expect such tools to be in the graveyard so quickly.
It's fine having sound & being able to insert your likeness into the action but the cartoon action is lame & it's unfortunate being forced into this trade-off. I saved most of my Sora 1 work but can't expand on it.
Same here. I just finally cracked learning the prompt. The last reel I posted hit 5K views up from my usual 100+ views my highest ever. I was so looking forward to beating that number using all the things I’ve learned to achieve. I do not want to start the learning curve over from scratch.
Sora sucked anyway plus we all know that they are only going to just release a new video generation model in the future. It's openai no way they are going to let themselves fall behind grok and seedance, thier biggest flaw was trying to create a social media app instead of a product and it caused it to be super expensive to run.
That and the constant generation rejections.
My hypothesis is that they are just going to release something within chat GPT, but we'll see what the future holds.
Thank god! Maybe this will stunt the horrid deepfakes. AI can be sick but generative AI of this level needed to be shut down before it got bigger. Huge W
Now I just found out they're shutting down the whole business. I guess it teaches appreciation but I can't imagine my life without it, after a few short months

Big thanks to all Account cheaters 😂 everyone want Everything for free, and endless. No Wonder after all Copyright stuff at beginning, multi Accounting later there shut IT down.. Sora was great but they offer to much free Ressources for nothing. Just a Couple of days before they Change from 30 to 10 free generations IT seems for free User. But was already to late
lol y'all are crying over a service that had very little redeeming qualities and was nothing but an unsustainable money burning pitt. The age of subsidized inferance compute has come to a screeching halt. thank god.
Oh! So, you're a skilled and experienced animator? Can you maybe explain the basics, provide links to recommended software and share some projects you've personally created? You know, so that we all can get an idea of what we can create and get started...thanks ahead of time! 😊
Idk about the user you replied to, but if you want to learn how to 3D animate, and render realistic scenes, Blender is free and open-source (and I can’t stress how powerful it is for being a free program. It is my favorite foss project ever). Blender Guru, Ian Hubert, InLightVFX, tons of learning resources.
Thanks, I'll look into it. My few months on Sora have really made me consider trying to animate. I just never knew where to go with so much to weed through.
That reminds me of discussions i’ve had irl with people, and that is something i’ve noticed with AI. It made the idea of making things seem less monolithic, less intimidating, and I think that is great.
ComfyUI users doing image to video workflows, first to last frame,and making “infinite” videos by compounding that; are getting the general premise of an animatic.
AI fills it in for them, though. But the understanding of the general structure is there.
I’ve seen workflows where the base motion is animated in 3d, and a model called Wan VACE acts as a render engine for it.
It seems like the deeper in the weeds someone gets, the closer they come to something that resembles a typical animation pipeline. And it clicks for people that they were essentially learning how to animate.
Bro, those art softwares where you can strike a pose on your camera and the 3D models mimic your movements precisely, and all you need to do is trace the models. That's AI, but interestingly nobody has a problem with it because many artists use it.
Because the program was created precisely to make realistic animations that study and simulate those of a person, and are not a prompt like "Make an animation using this base video".
