AI-generated video creation is moving fast, and OpenAI’s Sora 2 is leading the charge. This next-generation model can create realistic short clips with sound, motion, and physics, turning simple ideas into AI-powered visuals in seconds.
Although Sora first launched on iOS, you can now use it directly in your browser via sora.com. Below is a clear, practical guide to using Sora 2 on PC and getting started quickly.
🚀 What Is Sora 2?
Sora 2 is OpenAI’s advanced AI video-generation model. It creates cinematic scenes, from city skylines to animated portraits, driven entirely by text prompts.
The web (PC) version closely matches the iOS experience:
log in, write a prompt, and generate AI video within seconds.
- Access is currently invite-based
- Wider rollout is happening fast
If you don’t have access yet, Global GPT provides a free alternative with earlier Sora capabilities, which is useful for learning prompt techniques.
🖥️ Step 1: Access Sora 2 on PC
- Open your browser and visit sora.com
- Click “Join New Sora”
- Sign in with your OpenAI / ChatGPT account
- Complete onboarding (birthday verification may be required)
Note:
Without an invite, you can browse tutorials and community examples but can’t generate videos yet.
Global GPT works without invites or subscriptions.
🧠 Step 2: Set Up Your Account
Depending on your region, you will either:
- Join a waitlist, or
- Enter an invite code
Once approved, you’ll land on the Sora dashboard, which is your main workspace for creating, previewing, and managing clips.
🎬 Step 3: Create Your First AI Video
- Click “+ Create”
- Enter a detailed but concise prompt
Example prompt:
“A futuristic Tokyo street at night, neon reflections on wet pavement, slow camera pan left, ambient jazz music.”
Tips for better results:
- Be specific about scene, lighting, motion, and mood
- Short, focused prompts usually work best
- Upload a still image if your plan supports it
- Avoid using real people without consent
Sora 2 renders your clip in seconds and automatically adds:
- A visible watermark
- C2PA provenance metadata
🔁 Step 4: Refine Your Results
Strong videos often come from small prompt tweaks:
- Lighting: “warmer sunrise glow”
- Camera: “slow zoom-in through fog”
- Mood: “psychedelic synth background music”
Two or three iterations are usually enough to reach a cinematic result.
🧍 Step 5: Use the Cameo Feature (Optional)
Cameo allows verified users to appear in videos safely.
How it works:
- Submit a short verification video
- Get approval
- Use your likeness or collaborate with trusted users
- Revoke access or delete content anytime
Privacy note:
You can always see where and how your likeness is used.
💾 Step 6: Export and Share
When your clip is ready:
- Click Download
- Save as MP4
- Watermark and metadata remain intact
You can then edit further in tools like:
- DaVinci Resolve
- CapCut
- Adobe Premiere Pro
🔐 Responsible Use Guidelines
Sora enforces strict safety and consent rules:
- Visible watermarking on all videos
- Real-person likeness limited to verified Cameos
- Harmful or deceptive content is blocked automatically
Before publishing, double-check:
- You have consent for all likenesses
- Content follows Sora’s System Card rules
- Watermarks and metadata are not removed
