Microsoft Gives You Free Access to OpenAI's Sora Video Generator (With a Catch!)
Microsoft is making waves in the AI world by offering free access to OpenAI's powerful Sora video generator. This exciting development allows users to create AI-generated videos directly from text prompts, right within the Bing mobile app. This is a significant move, as Sora is typically a paid service, known for its high-quality video generation capabilities.
The good news? Anyone with the Bing mobile app can now generate videos using Sora. The catch? Video generation can take a considerable amount of time, even when using the "fast" option. While the tool is technically free, users start with 10 free video clips. After that, generating each video requires 100 Microsoft Reward points, which can be earned by using Bing search or making purchases in the Microsoft Store.
To use the tool, simply log in to your Microsoft account within the Bing app and navigate to the "Bing Video Creator" section. Here, you can explore existing video ideas or describe your own scenes using text prompts. While settings like aspect ratio and video length are currently unavailable for customization, Bing plans to unlock these features in the future. Videos are stored for up to 90 days and can be downloaded, shared, or refined with new prompts.
Microsoft has implemented OpenAI's safety measures to prevent the generation of harmful content. Each video generated will also include a digital watermark, clearly identifying it as AI-generated. This move highlights the growing collaboration between Microsoft and OpenAI and offers a fantastic opportunity for users to explore the capabilities of AI video generation.
