The AI video generation platform Sora2 announced substantial improvements to its service on October 16, significantly expanding creative possibilities for both free and paid users.

Professional-Grade Storyboarding

The update introduces groundbreaking professional tools:

  • New "Storyboard" feature exclusively for Pro subscribers
  • Enables frame-by-frame control over shots and visual effects
  • Allows creators to plan visual narratives with cinematic precision
  • Facilitates complex multi-shot productions previously impossible with AI generation

Industry Impact

The update represents Sora2's strategic shift from automated content creation to what industry analysts are calling "controlled creation." This evolution positions AI as a true creative collaborator rather than just a content generator.

The extended generation times address one of the most frequent user requests while maintaining differentiation between free and premium tiers. The storyboard functionality marks Sora2's first major push into professional-grade video production tools.

Key Points:

  1. Free tier video length doubled from previous limits (7.5s → 15s)
  2. Pro tier gains exclusive access to 25-second generations
  3. New storyboard tool enables professional-level shot planning
  4. Web version becomes primary platform for advanced features
  5. Update reflects industry trend toward controlled AI creativity
