OpenAI's innovative text-to-video model, Sora, is now accessible to a wider audience through Microsoft's Bing Video Creator. This feature, available on the Bing mobile app for both iOS and Android, allows users to generate short videos from text prompts without the hefty subscription fee typically associated with Sora. This move significantly lowers the barrier to entry for users wanting to experiment with AI-generated video content. The launch of Bing Video Creator represents Microsoft's latest endeavor to integrate AI into its products, following the success of Bing Image Creator and Copilot.
Microsoft's Bing Video Creator offers users the ability to create five-second video clips in a 9:16 aspect ratio, perfect for platforms like Instagram Reels. Users can generate videos by typing prompts into the dialog box and selecting "Create". Initially, users receive 10 "fast creation" credits, which allow for quicker video generation. However, once these credits are exhausted, users can either switch to the "Standard" pace, which takes several hours per video, or earn more credits by using the Bing search engine. Microsoft implements safeguards and watermarks to address concerns about the authenticity of AI-generated videos. An internal OpenAI document reveals the company's ambitious vision for ChatGPT, positioning it as a "super-assistant." OpenAI aims to evolve ChatGPT into an AI capable of understanding individual users, catering to their needs, and assisting with tasks typically handled by a "smart, trustworthy, emotionally intelligent person with a computer." This "super-assistant" would possess broad skills for daily tasks and deep expertise in areas like coding, effectively making life easier for users by managing calendars, planning vacations, finding information, and more.

Microsoft has launched the Bing Video Creator, a new feature powered by OpenAI's Sora, allowing users to generate videos from text prompts for free. This tool is currently available on the Bing mobile app globally, excluding China and Russia. The launch is a strategic move by Microsoft to democratize AI video generation and compete with other AI video generators such as Google's Veo 3. Users can access the Video Creator through the Bing Mobile app, either by selecting "Video Creator" from the menu or by typing "Create a video of..." in the search bar.
The Bing Video Creator allows users to create short, five-second clips in a 9:16 aspect ratio. Users input a text description of the desired video, and the AI generates a video based on the prompt. The system also incorporates safety measures similar to those implemented by OpenAI for Sora, blocking the generation of videos from potentially harmful prompts and watermarking all outputs based on the C2PA standard to identify AI-generated content. Microsoft aims to make creativity effortless and accessible, empowering users to bring their ideas to life through AI-generated videos. While the feature is currently available on the mobile app, Microsoft plans to integrate it into the desktop version of Bing and Copilot Search soon, with support for the 16:9 landscape aspect ratio also on the horizon. At launch, users can choose between "Standard" and "Fast" video generation speeds. The "Fast" option is limited to 10 free videos, after which users must redeem 100 Microsoft Rewards points per video. Videos generated are stored for 90 days, during which users can download, share, or copy a direct link to them.

Microsoft is expanding its AI capabilities by testing a new Copilot Live Portraits feature and making OpenAI's Sora video generator accessible for free through Bing Video Creator. The Copilot Live Portraits are currently in an experimental phase and introduce a new interface element with customizable avatars for users. These avatars, offering a selection of visual styles for male and female figures, could potentially serve as the visual interface for Copilot in voice-based interactions, creating a more human-like experience. Internal references suggest Microsoft might be developing real-time, visually expressive characters, aligning with the broader trend of synthetic video avatars in the AI space. The integration of Live Portraits may also influence the future of Copilot Characters, possibly merging both into a spectrum of assistants ranging from fixed personas to customizable 3D portraits.
Microsoft has launched Bing Video Creator with Sora integration for mobile users. Powered by OpenAI's Sora, the new tool transforms text prompts into short videos, offering users a free way to bring their creative ideas to life. The Bing Video Creator is available on the Bing mobile app for iOS and Android, allowing users to generate short video clips by simply describing what they want to see. This initiative follows the release of Bing Image Creator and Copilot, expanding Microsoft's AI-driven offerings. Bing Video Creator generates five-second videos in a 9:16 format, with plans to support 16:9 format in the future. The service operates on a two-tier speed system, with standard generation being free for all users and fast generation requiring Microsoft Rewards points after an initial allocation of ten free fast creations. Videos are stored for 90 days, and the platform supports direct sharing via email, social media, or generated direct links. Microsoft will implement the safeguards used by OpenAI for Sora, blocking potentially harmful prompts and watermarking outputs based on the C2PA standard.
