Can Sora turn a still image into motion?

Sora — OpenAI’s video-generation family of models and companion creative app — has rapidly shifted expectations for what a single still image can become.

The system can accept image references and produce a short video that either animates elements from the image or uses the image as a visual cue in a newly generated scene.
