SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openai, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables rapid creation and management of short videos by orchestrating prompts, model selection, and a deterministic CLI workflow, eliminating manual, repetitive video-assembly tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create new videos with a guided prompt augmentation workflow and the bundled CLI.
  • Remix existing videos by ID, poll status, download assets (video/thumbnail/spritesheet), and batch-run many prompts.
  • Batch-create multiple videos from a JSONL list; supports input_reference images and per-job overrides.

Quick Start

Provide a video idea as a prompt to the bundled CLI to generate a 4-second clip using the default sora-2 model and 1280x720 resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions about sora

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate short videos from text prompts using the OpenAI API?

To generate short videos from text prompts, you provide your prompt to the bundled CLI, which uses the OpenAI Video API to create a 4-second clip using the default sora-2 model and 1280x720 resolution.

Can I batch-create multiple videos from a list of prompts?

Yes, you can batch-create multiple videos from a JSONL list of prompts. The batch workflow supports input_reference images and per-job overrides to customize each video generation task individually.

What do I need to set up before using the Sora video generation CLI?

Before using the Sora video generation CLI, you need to set the OPENAI_API_KEY in your environment. This key is required to authenticate and access the OpenAI Video API for generating and managing your video assets.

How does the prompt augmentation workflow handle video remixing?

The prompt augmentation workflow uses a deterministic CLI process to remix existing videos by ID. It allows you to poll status, download assets like thumbnails or spritesheets, and create new variations from previously generated video content.

What is the default resolution and model used for OpenAI video generation?

The default model used for OpenAI video generation is sora-2, and the default resolution is 1280x720. These settings are applied automatically when you initiate a new video creation task through the bundled CLI.

Are there limitations when downloading video assets and spritesheets?

Downloading video assets and spritesheets requires polling the video status until completion. You must wait for the batch processing or individual generation job to finish before the CLI can retrieve the final video, thumbnail, or spritesheet files.
