First Impressions
I haven't used it personally (few have), but analyzing the raw output released by OpenAI—Sora understands physics. Reflections, shadows, and object permanence are maintained over long shots.
Best Feature: Duration
Generating 60 seconds of coherent video is the holy grail. Competitors struggle to keep a face consistent for 4 seconds. Sora does it for a minute.
The Verdict
The hype is real. When this drops, it will disrupt the stock footage industry overnight.
