Introduction
Sora transitions from research preview into a consumer creative product, making frontier video generation broadly testable.

Release and use
The December 2024 product launch gives Sora a user-facing interface with operations such as storyboarding, remixing and joining clips. Accounts, regions and product conditions still govern access. The released product and the earlier research videos do not necessarily share identical models or conditions.

Change in creative practice
At this stage users can repeat, revise and evaluate production actions. Selecting shots and relating clips become explicit interface tasks rather than the viewing of curated demonstrations. Effects on film labour still require evidence from works and workflows; a product launch alone does not establish them.
