Sora 2 update: OpenAI lets all users create 15-second videos, Pro users up to 25 seconds – Crypto News

OpenAI has rolled out new updates for its creative AI-video generation platform, Sora, enhancing the tools available to both Pro and standard users.

According to a tweet posted by the company on 16 October 2025, Pro users can now access “storyboards” directly through the composer on the Sora web platform. This addition is designed to streamline content planning and offer creators a more visual approach to storytelling.

What does the Sora 2 update offer?

The Sora 2 update also introduces new video generation capabilities. All users can now produce videos of up to 15 seconds in length on both the Sora app and web interface. Pro users receive an extended allowance, with the option to generate videos up to 25 seconds on the web.

What is the Sora 2 App?

OpenAI unveiled the Sora 2 app on 30 September, introducing an AI-powered platform that enables users to create and share lifelike video “cameos” of themselves using simple text prompts. The app merges cutting-edge video synthesis with social features reminiscent of Instagram or TikTok.

Sora 2 allows users to craft realistic AI avatars, known as ‘Cameos’, and insert them into short, AI-generated video scenarios. With just a few words, users can make their digital self perform activities ranging from beach volleyball and giving a speech to more imaginative scenes such as wrestling an elephant. The app leverages OpenAI’s latest Sora 2 model, which builds on the company’s advancements in realistic video generation and character animation. Users can choose to share their creations publicly, remix them, or keep them private.

Clone Apps cause confusion worldwide

Since its release, Sora 2 has prompted a surge of fake and misleading copies across app stores, causing confusion for users outside North America over which version is genuine.

According to a report by 9to5Mac, tech commentator John Gruber of Daring Fireball noted that an app called Sora 2: AI Video Generator reached ninth place in Apple’s ‘Top Photo & Video’ chart. It is just one of more than a dozen apps imitating OpenAI’s branding, with some even using the company’s logo or referencing Google’s Veo 3 model to appear authentic. Several of these clones feature in-app purchases and costly weekly subscriptions, risking misleading users into believing they are official.
