Okay, folks, I’ve been hearing a lot of you say, “Captain, when are we gonna get to play with these fancy AI video tools without emptying our wallets?” Well, guess what?
Microsoft just dropped a BOMBSHELL that’s gonna make your day!
What’s the Big News?
Microsoft just rolled out Bing Video Creator, and the super exciting part? It’s got OpenAI’s Sora video generation model baked right in! This means you can now whip up short five-second videos just by typing a description. And the best part? It’s on the Bing mobile app, and you don’t need a subscription to dive in!
Here’s What You Get (The Awesome Deets!):
- Totally FREE Access: No sneaky subscriptions needed to start creating. How cool is that?
- Where to Find It: It’s live on Bing’s iOS and Android mobile apps. Desktop and Copilot Search versions are coming soon, so keep an eye out!
- Generation Credits: You score 10 fast video generations right off the bat. After that, you get unlimited slower generations. Patience is a virtue, right?
- Boost Your Speed: Want more of those speedy generations? You can earn more fast credits through Microsoft’s rewards program. Smart!
A Few Things to Note (For Now!):
- Currently, videos are short and sweet: 5-second clips.
- They’re in vertical format, perfect for those quick mobile shares!
- You can have up to three videos generating at the same time. Multitasking, yay!
Why This is a Game-Changer!
Let’s be real, Sora was one of those AI tools that got a ton of buzz. Maybe it didn’t quite hit all the high notes some expected, and other models quickly jumped into the scene. But here’s the thing: most of these video generators have been locked behind paywalls.
This move by Microsoft? It’s HUGE! It means a whole new wave of us can finally get our hands on a video creation tool (even if it’s a bit limited for now) without spending a dime. It’s an awesome way to dip your toes into AI video making for the first time. Go check it out!
