OpenAI has updated its Sora app to allow users to create reusable avatars—called "characters"—from almost any object, person, or pet for use in AI-generated videos. The update also adds basic video stitching tools, enabling users to edit clips directly within the app.

Why it matters

  2. 2. Video stitching allows users to edit and combine clips without leaving the Sora app.
  3. 3. The update was announced recently, with features rolling out in the coming days.
