What the Sora Video Creator page is for
The Video Creator page is a focused workspace for short, polished video shots you can drop straight into your own edits:
- Text → Sora video — Describe a scene in natural language and let Sora handle motion, lighting and camera work.
- Text + reference frame → Sora video — Upload a single still image if you want to lock identity, composition or style, and let Sora animate around that anchor.
- Landscape and portrait from the start — 16:9 for websites, slides and hero banners. 9:16 for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and vertical ads.
- 10s, 15s and 25s shots by design — Long enough to feel like a real moment, short enough to stay fast and affordable when you are iterating.
It lives alongside your other Synclip workspaces – Lipsync Starter, Image Studio and whatever you use day to day – so you do not need another site, another login or another billing system just to use Sora.
Why put Sora inside Synclip instead of going direct?
Sora is the model. Synclip is the workspace wrapped around it. The Video Creator page focuses on three things that matter in everyday use: how you pay for shots, how you write prompts, and how many tools you need to juggle.
1. Clear credits, lower effective cost, no watermark
By default, Sora 2 is priced at $0.10 per generated second. In Synclip that calculation is baked into the UI: 10-second clips cost 8 credits, 15-second clips cost 12 credits, the free tier gives you 100 credits every month, and the $39.9/month plan includes 3,000 credits across tools. If you spent that plan entirely on Sora clips, you would be paying roughly $0.008 per second – about 12.5 times lower per second than the reference rate. Every download is a clean, watermark-free file.
2. A Sora workspace that matches how you actually prompt
The layout is intentionally narrow: a large Prompt Dock in the center, a Reference Frame panel on the right, and a small Parameters & credits block along the bottom. There are no hidden experimental sliders. You think like a director — who is in the scene, where it happens, how the camera moves, what the mood is — and Synclip handles the plumbing to Sora.
3. One account, one place for your assets
You sign in with the same Synclip account, use the same credits, and keep all assets in one workspace. Today the Sora Video Creator focuses on generation; over time the path from "generated shot" to "final export" will get smoother entirely inside Synclip.
A quick tour of the Sora Video Creator
When you open Dashboard → Sora Video Creator in Synclip, you will see three main areas.
1. Prompt Dock
This is where you describe the shot you want.
A simple way to think about it: Subject (who or what is on screen), Place (where it happens, time of day, weather, atmosphere), Camera (how it moves — close-up or wide, static or moving), Mood & style (cinematic, documentary, anime-inspired, lo-fi, commercial, etc.).
Example: A person walking through a neon-lit Tokyo street at night, slow motion, shallow depth of field, gentle rain and reflections on the wet pavement, cinematic look.
If you only have a short idea to start with, click Enhance prompt. Synclip will expand it into a fuller description that you can prune or reshape.
2. Reference Frame (optional)
Drag & drop a JPEG/PNG or click to upload. Use a portrait to keep a specific face consistent, or a style frame if you care more about composition, palette or lighting. Leaving it empty is fine — Sora will generate purely from text — but adding a frame gives it a stronger visual anchor.
3. Parameters & credits
Along the bottom you pick the model (currently Sora 2), orientation (16:9 or 9:16) and duration (10s or 15s). The Estimated credits pill updates instantly and is the exact amount deducted when you click Generate video.
From idea to Sora clip in five steps
- Open Dashboard → Sora Video Creator in the Synclip sidebar.
- Describe your scene in the Prompt Dock.
- (Optional) Upload a reference frame to anchor identity or style.
- Choose orientation and duration, check the estimated credits.
- Click Generate video and wait for the clip to land in your workspace.
When the render finishes, preview or download the watermark-free file and drop it straight into your edits.
Prompt ideas that tend to work well
- Vertical social hook. Portrait shot of a young woman in a busy subway station, camera slowly pushing in, cool blue lighting, shallow depth of field, 9:16 vertical, cinematic look.
- Tech B-roll. Slow pan across a minimalist desk with a laptop and a coffee cup, early morning sunlight casting soft shadows, dust particles floating in the air, gentle camera movement.
- Atmospheric cityscape. Aerial shot over a futuristic city at dusk, neon lights reflecting on glass buildings, light haze, slow drone movement, high contrast, cinematic grade.
Use your free credits to try variations — change time of day, tweak the camera move, push the style toward ad, documentary or anime. Once a recipe fits your brand, reuse the same structure across many prompts.
Try Sora video inside Synclip
If you have been curious about Sora but did not want to deal with complex setups, per-second arithmetic or watermark-stamped previews, the Sora Video Creator in Synclip is designed as a practical entry point.
- Short cinematic shots at 10 or 15 seconds.
- Simple, credit-based pricing with monthly free usage.
- An interface that reflects how you actually write prompts.
- Watermark-free downloads ready to publish.
- An effective per-second cost that stays far below the $0.10/s reference rate when you use your credits.
Log in to Synclip, open the Sora Video Creator page, and spend a few of your free credits on experiments. Write a scene, get a shot — and see what Sora looks like when it is packaged as a tool you can reach for every day.
