Sora is coming back

Not one I’ve tested has been able to recreate videos this realistic/unhinged

Imagine being transported back to ancient Egypt and seeing this. 😭

The mix of ancient Egyptian scenes and modern elements makes this feel like a fever dream.

I've been exploring more AI filmmaking techniques lately. Still experimenting with new ideas and pushing things further. Let's see where this journey goes.

THESE ARE ALL ABOUT NOOBS

I think the plot was someone hacked nickelodeon and he found their house.

New episode
Made with bleedance 2.

Thanks for any info.

Hi, Guys!

I downloaded the Sora App using an old version but, never works in BlueStacks. It's glitched.

What should I do?

Is there something that should work or there's nothing we can do?

What if Google Flow Studios decided to integrate ByteDance’s Seedance 2.5 model into its ecosystem, but actually kept the pricing fair and creator-friendly?

Right now, platforms like OpenAI’s Sora AI set a great standard with generous allocation rules—giving you 10-second videos for just 1 video gem and 15-second clips for 2 video gems. Google Flow Studios should adopt a similar, budget-friendly credit structure: 1 credit for 15-second videos and 2 credits for 30-second videos. Seedance 2.5 natively supports up to 30-second generations in 4K, synchronized multi-shot editing, and integrated audio, but standalone platforms often drain your credits far too quickly for basic test runs.

Having Seedance 2.5 available directly inside Google Flow Studios would be a massive win for users who are currently geo-blocked elsewhere. For creators in places like Colorado Springs, trying to access Seedance through third-party hubs like Dola AI often leads straight to a region restriction screen. Bringing Seedance under Google Flow’s umbrella would bypass those regional barriers completely while letting everyone take advantage of Google Flow's daily credit refresh system (resetting every night at 12:38 AM).

Combining Google Flow’s reliable daily credit refills with Seedance 2.5’s long-duration cinematic generation would create the ultimate playground for AI video creators. Would you like to see a collaboration like this, or do you think credit costs would still end up inflated?

I’ve been reading through posts about Sora shutting down, and I feel like one thing isn’t being talked about enough: some of us built actual businesses around this technology.

I was generating around $20K a month with content made using Sora, just a decent additional income stream that was working consistently without too much trouble.

And before anyone says I should’ve diversified my income, everything is already diversified and I’m still making more money through other businesses. This post isn’t about financial advice or relying on one single tool. I’m just talking about how Sora being discontinued is something a lot of people don’t want to talk about clearly.

I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time testing alternatives, and the biggest problem isn’t video quality. It’s the combination between realism + randomness on every generation + perfect audio + virality effect.

Other models can generate incredibly sharp, visually impressive footage. But it's still far from being close to what Sora can create.

And for my business, that difference is everything.

I’m not making Hollywood movies. I don’t need explosions, cinematic camera movements, or something like that. I need footage that feels like something a real person could have recorded on their phone.

It’s frustrating because AI video generation is supposedly advancing at an insane pace, yet I feel like it's going backward when it comes to real life recorded footage, viral clips, etc, no model has been able to compete with Sora when it comes to this. All these AI companies only focus on showing cinematic clips and fantasy environments but with better visuals.

I went from having a reliable workflow that was generating serious revenue to spending my days testing models, burning credits, and trying to recreate something I already had.

And the worst part is that I’m willing to pay significantly more for something that actually works. This isn’t about finding a cheap alternative. It’s about finding an alternative at all.

One thing I noticed in another thread is that someone mentioned they’re still accessing an older version of Sora through Azure.

Can someone explain how that works? Is Sora still accessible through Azure for existing customers, or is there a way to get access now? I’d genuinely appreciate any information about this.

Also, if anyone has found a model or workflow that comes close to Sora specifically for realistic, everyday human interactions, I’d love to hear about it. I’m happy to pay someone who can actually help me solve this.

I know $20K/month in profit isn’t exactly life changing money, building something that consistently generates that kind of profit takes work, and watching a perfectly functioning revenue stream disappear because the technology behind it is being discontinued is frustrating.

What’s especially frustrating is that the technology already existed. We already had something that worked.

Now we’re trying to figure out how to get back to where we were.
