Hi @dawn horizon. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
You can make short animal videos with Sora today, but there are a few important limits and there’s no fully “unlimited free” option described in the docs.
1. Where you can use Sora
You can generate videos with:
- Sora app (iOS / Android) and sora.com – powered by Sora 2. [Getting started]
- Sora 1 web editor (older experience, being deprecated). [Generating videos]
Access is being rolled out gradually; you may need to request access in the app. [Getting started]
2. How to make an animal ASMR-style video in the Sora app
- Open the Sora app and tap +. [Creating videos]
- In the prompt box, describe your scene, for example:
“Close-up of a cute hamster slowly eating crunchy vegetables, very quiet room, detailed chewing sounds, relaxing ASMR style.”
- (Optional) Upload an image of an animal as inspiration (no real people allowed in images). [Creating videos]
- At the top, choose:
- Orientation: Portrait or Landscape
- Duration: 10 or 15 seconds [Creating videos]
- Press the ↑ button to generate. Your clip will appear in Drafts when it’s done. [Creating videos]
- Open the draft, tweak the prompt with Edit video and regenerate until you like the look and sound. [Creating videos]
- Use the ⋯ menu to download the video if you want to edit or post it elsewhere. [Creating videos]
3. Making a “kinda long” video
Sora focuses on short clips:
- App / web default: 10 seconds, with 15 seconds also available. [Creating videos; Release notes]
- On the Sora app, you can stitch multiple clips together up to 60 seconds total: [Stitch clips]
- In Drafts, select several animal clips.
- Tap Stitch.
- Preview, then tap Stitch again to generate the combined video (up to 60 seconds).
- On sora.com with Storyboards, ChatGPT Pro users can go up to 25 seconds per video. [Creating videos; Release notes]
For something longer than ~1 minute, the docs don’t describe a built‑in way; you’d need to combine exported clips in an external video editor.
4. Cost / “for free”
The help articles don’t give full pricing details for the Sora app or sora.com, and they don’t confirm that you can generate unlimited videos completely for free. They do say:
- Some features (like Sora 1 video generation from images) require Plus, Team, or Pro accounts. [Creating images on Sora]
- ChatGPT Free users only get a limited number of image generations per day. [Creating images on Sora]
So you may be able to make some videos at no extra cost depending on your account and current limits, but the knowledge sources do not specify exact free quotas or whether your specific use will be entirely free.
