How to Generate Videos in Sora 2 in Europe

Current State of Sora 2 Access

Right now, getting access to OpenAI's Sora 2 is a challenge, especially in Europe. Here's a quick rundown of the situation:

• Invite-Only: Access is not public. It's limited to users who receive an invitation code directly from OpenAI.
• Geographic Restrictions: The beta is officially available only in the United States and Canada.
• Platform Focus: The primary way to use Sora 2 is through its iOS app, though a web version is available for Android users who get an invite.

Step-by-Step Guide: Using a Vendor (Example: Wavespeed AI)

Here’s a practical example of how you can generate a video using a third-party vendor that has integrated the Sora 2 API.

1. Sign Up and Top Up:

   • Navigate to the vendor's sign-in page, like https://wavespeed.ai/sign-in. Create an account.

   

   • While some vendors offer a small starting credit, you will likely need to add funds. Go to the top-up page (e.g., https://wavespeed.ai/top-up) to add credits.

   

2. Navigate to the Sora 2 Model:

   • Once logged in, find the Sora 2 model in the platform's library. The direct link for this example is https://wavespeed.ai/models/openai/sora-2/text-to-video.

   

3. Enter Your Prompt:

   • In the text input field, describe the video you want to generate.

   

4. Generate and View the Video:

   • Click the "Generate" button. The service will process the request.
   • Once completed, your video will be ready to view.

   

Note: Other models, including image-to-video and pro versions, are also available. You can find them in the OpenAI collection at https://wavespeed.ai/collections/openai.

Conclusion

While direct access to Sora 2 in Europe remains on the horizon, the availability of third-party vendor APIs means you don't have to wait to start creating. By following the steps above, you can tap into the power of cutting-edge AI video generation today.

Happy creating!
