The true Sora

This article covers behind-the-scenes decisions and real challenges in AI content production that can't be shared on YouTube.

Do you know about Sora, the AI video generator?

If you do, here’s a question:
Have you seen any of these claims on YouTube videos or blogs?

• “Sora is useless because it ruins the video”
• “Sora can't handle animation”
• “Sora is only for professionals—beginners can't use it”
• “There are tools better than Sora”

This article exists for one reason:
To expose these lies—and to show what Sora actually is.

"Sora is useless because it ruins the video."

As someone who has worked with AI video generation more than most, I can tell you this:

It’s easy to ruin a video—no matter which tool you're using.

If you send a prompt that confuses the AI, the result will absolutely be a broken video.
But if you write prompts in a format that the AI can clearly understand, the chance of failure drops to near zero.

Naturally, the same logic applies to Sora.

It's very simple:
If you want to make it fail, you can do that with a prompt.
If you want it to succeed, you can guide it with a prompt.

Here’s a video that shows how to make Sora obey exactly what you ask:

“Sora can't handle animation”

This is a common claim on social media in my home country, Japan:

“Sora is useless because it ruins the video.”

So, I created this video using only Sora—and it also significantly reduced the time it took to complete.

After watching this, do you still believe that Sora is bad at animation?

The scenes that represent Momoka's feelings and courage were entirely acted out by Sora—
with no prompt guidance whatsoever.

We simply let the model decide, and chose to use the footage exactly as it was generated.

“Sora is only for professionals—beginners can't use it”

This is half true and half a lie.

However, the part that is true is largely due to OpenAI's poor design, especially around the UI, and Sora is not responsible for it.

I have released the aforementioned "Sora is useless because it ruins the video" to prove that this statement is 100% false.

This is an AI with hidden capabilities that you may not know about. I would like you to see for yourself if possible.

“There are tools better than Sora”

If you've read this far, you probably understand—but let me say it anyway:

Sora hasn’t even been properly evaluated yet.
And dismissing it based on “hype” like “this tool is better than Sora” feels absurd.

Ask yourself:

• Are you just comparing catalog specs?
• Did you really explore Sora’s true capabilities before making that claim?

Just one of the great things about Sora is its extremely flexible storyboard system.
It’s surprisingly easy to communicate with characters when you want them to act,
and the acting itself is natural, even advanced compared to many newer platforms.

Of course, Sora has its flaws—
from a 2025 perspective, some of its specs are outdated.
And yes, you can't access it without a Pro plan,
which feels limiting considering 1080p is now the standard on most social media platforms.

But perhaps worst of all,
the official documentation is poor—
and that has made people assume Sora itself is poor.

It isn’t. You just haven’t seen what it can really do yet.

Not just a YouTube channel — a channel where tools are tested and compared with extensive knowledge and practice, pushing the limits of AI.
