how to create videos like this for free | OpenAI | Page 1

Hi @quartz pecan. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

I’m sorry, but the knowledge sources don’t provide clear information on how to use Sora or the Sora API completely for free.

From what is documented:

The Sora app (iOS/Android/web at sora.com) lets you create short videos with Sora 2 once you have access, but the articles don’t state that it’s free or what limits apply. [Getting started; Creating videos]
The Sora API (Video API) is a paid developer product; Sora 2 is priced per second of generated video. [Sora 2 model; Video generation overview]
Some older Sora 1 web features mention that ChatGPT Free users can generate a limited number of images per day, but that’s about images, not clearly about free video generation. [Creating images on Sora]

Because of this, I can’t reliably tell you a way to generate Sora-style videos “for free” beyond:

Sign up / log in with your OpenAI account on the Sora app or sora.com, and
Use whatever access or trial/limits your account tier currently provides to create short videos by tapping +, writing a prompt (or uploading an image), and generating drafts. [Getting started; Generating videos on Sora]

For exact pricing, free tiers, or promotions, the docs direct you to the main pricing page, which isn’t detailed in the provided sources. [Sora 2 model]
