Introduction

Learn how to generate videos using AI from text descriptions. The Sora Video Generation integration allows your app to create high-quality videos with synchronized audio from simple text prompts. Powered by advanced AI models, this integration enables you to generate dynamic video content without requiring video editing tools or production workflows. This is ideal for apps focused on content creation, storytelling, and marketing.

​
What You Can Build

With Sora Video Generation enabled, your app can support features such as:
  • Text-to-Video Creation – Generate short videos from user-written prompts.
  • Social Media Content – Create ready-to-share videos optimized for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.
  • Marketing Videos – Produce promotional or product videos quickly.
  • Storytelling Experiences – Turn written stories into engaging visual content.
  • Dynamic Video Tools – Allow users to experiment with video generation for creative or functional use cases.

​
How It Works

When the Sora integration is enabled, your app sends a text prompt describing the desired video to the model, which generates a video clip with synchronized visuals and audio. Your app can:
  • Generate videos from text prompts
  • Support different durations and resolutions
  • Create clips suitable for various platforms
  • Display or export videos directly within the app
This allows you to build video-first experiences without managing complex video production pipelines. Because video generation is handled by the AI model, you can focus on how users create, preview, and share content.

Example Prompts

You can use prompts like these when building your app: Add a video generator Add a video generator to my app where users enter a text prompt and get a short clip back using Sora.

These prompts help you quickly implement AI-powered video creation features.
