Can ChatGPT make videos?

Not by itself. OpenAI shut down the Sora app on April 26, 2026 and the Sora 2 API on September 24, 2026, and ChatGPT has no built-in video generation. To make videos in ChatGPT, install a video plugin such as Creative Claw, which renders video with Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni, and MiniMax H3 Max.

Steps

  1. Install Creative Claw from chatgpt.com/plugins/creativeclaw and sign in. New accounts get 100 free credits.
  2. Describe the video: subject, action, length, and format, for example a 5-second 9:16 clip.
  3. Attach a photo if you want to animate it, or a product image to keep the product consistent.
  4. Review the credit estimate, generate, and download the MP4.

What it costs

A 5-second clip costs from 33 credits ($0.33) with Wan 3.0 at 480p, 40 ($0.40) with MiniMax H3 Max Fast, 50 with Gemini Omni Flash at 720p, or 218 with Seedance 2.5 at 720p.
