Use Sora for free! Microsoft releases Bing Video Creator

At 1 a.m. today , Microsoft released a new feature of Bing search engine on its official website - Bing Video Creator .

Bing Video Creator is powered by OpenAI 's natural video model Sora , which can generate realistic, landscape, cartoon, film and television videos through natural language.

At the same time, the service will be provided free of charge to users. The generation speed is divided into two modes: fast and standard. There are 10 quick generation opportunities initially. After they are used up, you can consume  100  Microsoft Reward Points to continue using it, or continue to choose the standard speed.

The method of use is also relatively simple. Open the Bing application, then click the menu in the lower right corner and select  Video Creator , or simply enter Create a video of + the prompt word of the video you want to generate in the search bar.

Currently, the supported video length is 5 seconds, 9:16  format ( 16:9  format is coming soon), and users can queue up to generate three videos at the same time. If all three video slots are occupied, you need to wait for one to finish before starting another.

You will receive a notification when the video is generated. You can choose to download it, share it to social media or share it via a link. The video will be stored for  90  days.

When entering prompt words, users should try to enrich the details of the scene, subject, action, etc., so that the generated video will better meet your requirements.

For example, in a popular Italian pizza restaurant, a small otter wearing a chef's hat and apron acts as a chef, kneading dough with his paws and surrounded by pizza toppings.

A colorful little fish with bright blue and purple spots all over its body and a light blue sheen on the edges of its fins. It wears a party hat on its head with an irregular pattern of red, blue, purple and other colors woven together, and a yellow pompom on the top. It swims in the dark blue waters, with green water plants swaying around it and strings of bubbles rising.

A hamster with white and brown fur, wearing a white baseball cap and beige overalls with pockets, is standing on the warm yellow wooden floor, cleaning diligently while holding a broom tightly in both hands.

A knight in full silver metal armor, riding on a sturdy black horse, is walking on a forest path covered with red fallen leaves. The surrounding trees are full of bright orange-red leaves, and the sunlight shines through the branches, creating a mysterious and magnificent medieval autumn forest atmosphere.

A woman wearing a bright red coat and a black turtleneck sweater stood on a snow-covered forest path, looking up at the sky. The tall trees on both sides were covered with snow, and the sun shone through the gaps in the forest, forming a warm halo, creating a quiet and beautiful atmosphere in winter.

To prevent  Bing Video Creator  from being abused, Microsoft leveraged  OpenAI  's  Sora  safety safeguards and added additional protections. For example, when the system detects that a prompt could generate a harmful video, it blocks the prompt and warns the user.

In addition, Bing Video Creator  also adds content credentials and traceability information to each generated video based on  the C2PA  standard to help users identify  AI-  generated videos.

It should be noted that the Chinese version is not open yet. If you want to use it for free, you can use the US version of Bing .
