Solid text-to-video, but I ended up on Kling 3.0 for shot control
Sora produces clean motion on short clips and the prompt adherence is genuinely good for simple scenes. What held me back is camera control: when I need a specific push-in or a multi-shot sequence, I get far more predictable results with Kling 3.0, which I now use for client reels via kling3ai.co - the image-to-video path there is quick for turning a storyboard frame into a 5 second clip. Sora still wins on pure realism for single shots, so I keep both: Sora for hero shots, Kling 3.0 for the shot-by-shot work. Both are worth trying before you commit to one subscription.

Promising, not reliable
The demos oversell it. Sora is impressive in flashes but hard to steer toward anything specific or usable. Cautiously recommended.

Disappointing in practice
Behind the highlight reels, Sora is slow, inconsistent, and impossible to control. Not usable for real work yet.

Great demos, hard to use
Sora can be magical, but for every good clip there are several with warped objects or weird physics. Lots of re-rolling. Cautiously recommended.

Cool but limited
Fun to experiment with, but the content filters flag harmless prompts and the wait times add up. Mixed experience. Cautiously recommended.

More frustration than magic
Sora flagged perfectly normal prompts over and over, and the clips that did render were full of artifacts. Gave up.
