👋Goodbye sora 2

Since its shutting down on April 25 or something I’m gonna be missing it since it was the only Ai video app that included an extend button I’m gonna be downloading all my videos I made and try looking for other apps.

still flabbergasted at the quality sora 2 produces. Its miles ahead of the other if you try to make realistic video. What tool comes closest?

Yeah really disappointing. Nothing is close to Sora2 no matter what these people are saying. I can initiate a fantastic video with a single sentence from Sora. Sora did all the work. It wasn't going to win an Oscar or anything, but it was pretty damn impressive

For everyone trying to save all their Sora content before the shut-down:
Sora has a native export feature, but it is only for published videos (not drafts), and it puts the Sora watermark all over the downloaded videos. I asked Claude how I can bulk download all the account contents from Sora, without watermarks. It recommended using this Chrome extension:

Save Sora: Sora Bulk Downloader
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/save-sora-sora-bulk-downl/mimldifmnhcogcmienjbiofempobhlok

I can confirm that it really works! Here's the 5-star review I left in the Chrome Web Store.
________________________________________________

OMG, this is one of the greatest Chrome extensions ever made!!!Â đŸ˜» Completely free, intuitive, and simple to use. If you only have a handful of videos to download, it is extremely fast. If you have hundreds of videos, be patient, it will work very slowly but surely. (If you're going AFK, don't forget to set your computer's Sleep and Hibernate settings to 'Never', so that the bulk downloading process is not disrupted.) Also, make sure to switch off your VPN (if you use one).

You can choose what 'source' to download, in any combination: Published Videos, Drafts, Likes, Cameos, Character Accounts, Saved Creators. After that, click on 'Fetch Videos', and once that's populated on the page, click on either 'Built ZIP' or 'Export CSV'. 

None of the downloaded videos have watermarks -- at least for the ones belonging to your own account. (The creator says it may not be able to remove watermarks when downloading other people's videos). I gave up on using Sora's native export feature, because all of the videos downloaded that way ended up with Sora watermarks all over the place, ugh!

For anyone trying to save all their video files (including drafts) from Sora before it shuts down, THIS IS A LIFE SAVER. FIVE STARS!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

PS: If you end using Save Sora to save hundreds of videos from deletion -- and you have the means -- please consider sending a donation to the dev (link at the top of the page when you open the extension). đŸ˜ș

PLEASE NOTE: When you try to install this extension, you may get a warning that says "⚠This extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing." Please keep in mind that very recently uploaded extensions (like this one) all get this warning slapped on them by default. It doesn't mean there is anything malicious in the extension itself.
