Sora Is Gone. Your Cinematic AI Videos Don't Have to Be.
OpenAI discontinued Sora in 2026. Baz generates cinematic text-to-video and image-to-video clips with live models—Google Veo and Seedance—then turns the footage into a finished, on-brand video.
Ideal for creators, marketers, filmmakers, and AI enthusiasts.
The problem
OpenAI shut down the Sora app in April 2026 and is retiring the Sora API, leaving creators who built workflows on it without a home.
The Baz solution
Baz integrates live AI footage models (Google Veo, Seedance) behind one prompt-driven interface—and unlike a raw model, it composes the footage into finished videos with typography, music, and your brand.
How it works
Pick a live model
Choose Google Veo or Seedance inside Baz for cinematic footage generation.
Describe your vision
Enter a text prompt, upload a reference image, or set start and end frames for controlled motion.
Compose & refine
Layer the footage with titles, music, and brand elements in the same workspace, then export in any format.
Why teams love Baz
Live, maintained models
Google Veo and Seedance generate the footage—actively developed models, not a retired API.
Multiple creation modes
Support for text-to-video, image-to-video, and frame-defined motion for precise control.
Footage becomes a finished video
Generated clips sit inside a composition with real typography, music, and your brand colors—not just a raw clip download.
No-code workflow
All you need is a prompt—Baz handles prompt formatting, rendering, and downloads automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Is OpenAI Sora still available?
No. OpenAI discontinued the Sora app and web experience on April 26, 2026, and announced the Sora API shuts down on September 24, 2026, per OpenAI's help center.
What is the best Sora alternative?
It depends on the job. For cinematic AI footage, Baz integrates Google Veo and Seedance—live, actively maintained models. If you also need the footage turned into a finished video with typography, music, and brand control, Baz does that in the same workspace.
Can I upload my own image or frames?
Yes. Provide a reference image or define key frames and Baz blends them into the generated motion.
Do I need technical experience?
No. Baz is entirely prompt-driven—type your idea and the platform handles the rest.
Can I recreate videos I used to make with Sora?
Yes. Describe the shot the way you prompted Sora, or upload a reference frame, and generate it with Veo or Seedance—then keep the result as an editable composition instead of a one-off clip.
Can I use the videos commercially?
Yes, videos created through Baz can be used across social, commercial, and promotional channels within the underlying model providers' content policies.
