OpenAI’s video-generation phenomenon Sora 2 is now more useful than ever with the tool allowing everyone to make longer clips. OpenAI says it’s “perfect for ideas that need a few extra beats to fully unfold.”
The new update for Sora 2 allows all users to make clips up to 15 seconds long. Previously, Sora 2 has been limiting standard users to 10 second clips or shorter.
If you have a Pro subscription for ChatGPT, you can now get 25-second-long clips allowing you to tell longer stories. That subscription isn’t cheap though as it’s $200 a month, giving you access to various features across OpenAI’s services.
The change was announced by OpenAI on Oct. 16 showing a new 25-second-long video with an AI-generated secret agent riding a motorbike to chase down a train. OpenAI’s post on X made a reference to The Fast and The Furious film series referring to this update as “2 Sora 2 updates.” That appears to be a reference to 2003’s 2 Fast 2 Furious.

The extended clips for Pro subscribers are currently only available on the web version of Sora. Those looking to make 15 second long videos can do so on the app and web versions of OpenAI’s tool.
You can turn on extended clips in the app by going to Create video and then selecting Duration. In the web version, it’s under the Settings icon where it also says Duration to toggle the length.

If you choose to use a 15-second clip, it’ll count toward two videos of your daily limit, while 25-second clips jump up to four credits.
If you have a Pro subscription, you’ll also get access to the brand’s newly launched storyboard feature. The original Sora had a similar feature which allows you to plan out an AI video frame by frame, using prompts to describe what you want each AI-generated shot to show. This option is currently only available in the web version of Sora 2.
Sora 2 remains at the top of the free iPhone apps chart on the Apple App Store, with ChatGPT now relegated to second place. It’s believed Sora 2 is set to come to Android sooner rather than later as a listing for the app appeared on the Google Play Store on Oct. 11. However, we’ve yet to hear anything official from OpenAI.
