``` AI artist Jon Uriarte also experimented with Sora and described the creative process as surprisingly fluid: "I was surprised by how smoothly the process of developing an idea flowed. I had a clear vision of certain frames, but as I worked, new ideas emerged naturally. It felt very similar to writing or daydreaming." **Community and Learning Opportunities** To support creators using Sora, OpenAI is launching new Sora Discord channels where artists can share tips, get inspired, and participate in public office hours and masterclasses. This initiative aims to build a community around AI-driven video creation, helping users make the most of the tool. With its expansion into the UK and Europe, Sora is set to change the way creators approach video production, whether for storytelling, advertising, or experimental art.
Starting today, February 28 at 6 AM, OpenAI is rolling out its AI-powered video generator, Sora, across the UK and Europe.
Sora allows users to create high-quality videos up to 20 seconds long in 1080p resolution, supporting various formats like widescreen, vertical, and square. It can also extend, remix, and blend existing video assets, opening up new possibilities for content creators.
Originally announced in March 2024, Sora became available to premium ChatGPT users in select regions last December. Its arrival sparked debate in the film and TV industry about its potential impact on production workflows and creative processes.
**What Can Sora Do?**
Sora isn’t just a basic AI video generator—it comes packed with features designed to give creators more control over their content:
- Remix – Edit or remove specific elements within a video.
- Re-cut – Extend frames to complete a scene.
- Storyboard – Edit and arrange generated sequences on a timeline.
- Loop – Trim and create seamless looping videos.
- Blend – Merge two videos into a single, cohesive clip.
- Pre-sets – Apply artistic styles like film noir, card, or papercraft to add a unique touch.
**Early Creators and UK Showcase**
While Sora wasn’t widely available in the UK and Europe until now, OpenAI has already been working with select artists and creators to test the tool. Among them is Josephine Miller, a UK-based digital creator and technologist, who used Sora to produce Biolume: Threads of Light, a stunning virtual catwalk video.
