Microsoft Bing gets a free Sora-powered AI video generator | TechCrunch
Key takeaways:
- Microsoft Bing has added a new Bing Video Creator feature that uses OpenAI's Sora model to generate videos from text prompts.
- This is the first time Sora's video generation is available for free — previously it was only for paying customers.
- Users logged into a Microsoft account can generate 10 videos for free; after that, each video costs 100 Microsoft Rewards points.
- The tool is currently only available on the Bing mobile app (not desktop), and even in “fast” mode, video generation can take hours.
- Videos are limited to 5 seconds, vertical (9:16) format, and only 3 videos can be queued at a time — with horizontal format support coming soon.
