Create AI Videos for Free with OpenAI Sora on iOS and Android (But There's a Catch!)
Microsoft is making waves by offering free access to OpenAI's Sora AI video generator directly within the Bing app on iOS and Android. This move allows users to create stunning, short videos without the usual $20/month ChatGPT Plus subscription required for Sora access.
The catch? You'll need to use Microsoft's Bing search engine to fuel your video creation. Users start with 10 "fast creation" credits, which generate a 5-second portrait video in minutes. However, once those credits are used, video generation slows down significantly.
The good news is that you can earn more "fast creation" credits by searching with Bing. Microsoft Rewards points, earned through Bing searches on desktop or mobile, browsing with the Edge browser, or gaming on Xbox, can be redeemed for additional credits. This clever strategy incentivizes Bing usage, potentially boosting its popularity against Google.
The Bing Video Creator is accessible through the Bing app, found in the App Store and Google Play Store. Users simply type in a descriptive prompt, and the AI generates a video. While the current version lacks features like voice lip-syncing and sound, Microsoft plans to release a desktop version soon. This integration is a significant advantage of Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI, offering users a unique way to explore the power of AI video generation.
