If you're unfamiliar with these video editing tools, you're missing out on the latest advancements.
In an engaging discussion on 'America Reports,' tech luminary Tristan Harris talked AI's transformative impact on video production.
Guess what's the latest? AI is here, and it's not just about deepfakes or filters anymore. With Sora and Veo, text is your new camera! No editing software, green screens, or cameras required! Just type and watch AI conjure up high-def, studio-quality video clips — straight from your keyboard! Imagine having a mini-Hollywood studio tucked into your laptop!
Wanna get a taste of the future? Check out Sora by OpenAI and Veo by Google! Both platforms are ready for action, right now! I've given them a whirl and compared their results. Want to know thefaceoff?
Sora: OpenAI's innovative text-to-video machine
Sora, built into ChatGPT, never fails to impress. Just type "a golden retriever puppy playing on the beach with a tennis ball," and voila — Sora will churn out a visually rich, smooth video clip in seconds. No stock footage, just AI-powered magic!
If you're a ChatGPT Plus subscriber ($20/month), create videos up to 10 seconds long in 720p. Looking for more? ChatGPT Pro ($200/month) offers 20-second videos in full 1080p HD, with no watermark and faster processing!

Veo: Google's cinematic AI filmmaking revolution
Next, let's delve into Google's Veo. This one's aimed for cinematic quality, with up to 60-second videos in 1080p, boasting realistic effects like camera moves, lighting shifts, and smooth transitions. All this magic happens with just one sentence! For instance: "A cat runs across a Paris rooftop at sunset." Beyond your wildest dreams, right?
To access Veo, sign up for Google's Gemini plans. Choose from:
- Pro Plan: ($19.99/month after the free trial) – Offers basic access to Veo and a video-editing tool called Flow.
- Ultra Plan: ($124.99/month for the first three months, normally $249.99) – Unlocks everything, aka full Veo access, higher-quality exports, and cool features like "ingredients to video," which lets you mix different elements.
The showdown – puppy vs. puppy
To compare their performance, I asked both platforms to generate a video based on "Show me a golden retriever puppy playing on the beach with a tennis ball." Now, you can watch the videos side-by-side. The noble Bella stars in both (left for Veo, right for Sora).
My verdict? Sora rocked the charming close-up details, Bella's floppy ears, the light hitting the waves. But the physics felt a tad off. The ball's bounce didn't seem quite right. On the flip side, Veo excelled with lifelike movements but wasn't as sharp on the visual details.
Era of video creation without boundaries is here! Now, just your ideas are needed. No crew, no gear, no edits. Just imagination and typing, that's all folks! Brace yourself, this is just the beginning of storytelling's transformation!
