How To Create Sora 2 Videos In 5 Minutes For Free

12

Sora-style clips are popping up everywhere right now, and they often look so real that people argue about whether they’re AI. The good news is you don’t need a complicated setup to make them. You just need a proven idea, a solid prompt, and the right tool to generate and clean up the final video.

This guide walks through the same step-by-step process used to turn a viral short into a Sora 2 style video for free, then remove the watermark so it’s ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.

Step 1: Get access with a VPN (especially in African countries)

If you’re based in any African country, you’ll likely hit a wall straight away because the site used in this workflow may not load without a VPN.

The fix is simple: connect to a VPN and set your location to either the United States or Canada before you do anything else.

Free VPN options mentioned

These free VPNs were suggested as options to try (free plans and limits can vary by country):

VPN Name	Notes
Proton VPN	Free plan available
Windscribe	Free plan available
TunnelBear	Free plan available
Hide.me	Free plan available

A paid VPN also works, but if you’re trying to keep everything free, start with one of the options above.

Quick setup checklist

Keep this part basic; you only need to get connected:

• Install a VPN you trust.
• Connect and set the country to United States or Canada.
• Confirm the connection is active.
• Only then, move on to the Sora site and the rest of the steps.

If the site still won’t load, double-check your selected country, then reconnect.

Step 2: Find viral Sora-style ideas on TikTok (don’t guess)

Trying to invent a viral concept from scratch is a slow process. This workflow does the opposite: it copies the type of content people already watch to the end.

The goal is simple: recreate proven patterns.

As the approach goes: “We are not trying to guess anything. We are just recreating what people already enjoy watching.”

What to search on TikTok

Open TikTok and search for:

• “viral Sora videos”
• “Sora AI video”
• “Sora style video”

You’re looking for short clips with a clear, simple moment that’s easy to describe, easy to recreate, and easy to understand even with no sound.

What makes a good reference clip?

A strong reference usually has:

• A single main subject (one person, one animal, one creature).
• One clear action (jumping, running, slipping, reacting).
• A scene that’s easy to picture (street, farm, bedroom, forest).
• A punchline you can explain in one sentence.

The example used here was a funny video where a man tries to clamp onto a small donkey and falls down. It worked because it’s visual, quick, and readable at a glance.

Save your reference

Once you find something that fits:

• Take a screenshot of the clip (so you can use it as a reference).
• Keep it on your phone or desktop for the next step.

You can pick any theme. If you want to make those viral snake videos, the same method applies: screenshot a strong example, then add your own storyline on top.

Step 3: Use ChatGPT to generate a detailed Sora 2 prompt

This is where most people go wrong. They type a short prompt like “man falls off donkey” and wonder why the output looks off.

A better method is to use ChatGPT to turn your reference into a more complete prompt that includes:

• the subject
• the action
• the scene

What to ask ChatGPT for

When you prompt ChatGPT, guide it clearly. The key instruction used in this workflow was:

Focus on the subject, the action, and the overall scene.

That one line pushes the prompt to include the details the video model needs, like what the subject looks like, what they’re doing, and what the environment should feel like.

A simple workflow that works

1. Open ChatGPT.
2. Use your screenshot as your reference point (keep it visible while you write, or share it if your setup supports images).
3. Ask ChatGPT to write a Sora 2 prompt based on that reference.
4. Make sure it describes the subject, the action, and the scene.
5. Copy the final prompt ChatGPT generates.

If you don’t have a reference screenshot, you can still do this. Pick a style you’ve seen go viral (like the snake clips), describe the scene in plain words, then ask ChatGPT to turn it into a detailed Sora 2 prompt.

What a “good” prompt tends to include

You don’t need fancy words. You need clarity. Most strong prompts include:

Subject details: who or what we’re watching, and what stands out about them
Action: what happens from start to finish in the clip
Scene: where it happens, what’s in the background, and the general look of the video

If your prompt is missing one of those, the model has to fill in gaps, and that’s when videos start looking random.

Step 4: Generate the video on the Sora-style platform (and remix what’s already working)

Once your VPN is on and your prompt is ready, it’s time to generate.

Go to the platform shown in the tutorial: Sora explore page on sora.chibbt.com.

This page includes examples you can browse, and it also lets you remix an existing video.

Option A: Remix a viral clip inside the platform

If you see a video that already matches what you want:

• Open it.
• Click the Remix button.
• Type the changes you want (change the subject, location, action, or twist).
• Generate your version.

This is a fast way to stay close to what’s already working, while still making your clip feel fresh.

Option B: Copy a viral format from YouTube (using a transcript tool)

There’s also a simple way to copy a proven format from YouTube, especially if you run a faceless channel.

The workflow is:

• Find a viral video on YouTube in the style you want.
• Copy the format or structure.
• Use a transcript extractor tool to pull the text, so you can mirror the pacing and sequence.

This doesn’t mean stealing someone’s exact video. It means copying what makes it work, like the setup, the beat, and the payoff, then swapping in your own scene.

Paste your prompt and generate

When you’re ready to make your video:

• Paste the prompt that ChatGPT gave you into the generator.
• Join the queue (often around 20 to 30 seconds).
• Wait for it to finish.
• Click Download and save the video.

At this stage you’ll have a finished AI clip, but it will usually include a Sora watermark.

These videos can look so believable that some viewers doubt they’re AI at all, which is why the next step matters if you want a clean post.

Step 5: Remove the Sora watermark (CapCut method)

To remove the watermark, the process shown uses CapCut’s AI tools. The aim is to erase the Sora icon cleanly without damaging the rest of the frame.

Watermark removal in CapCut

In CapCut:

1. Open CapCut and import the downloaded video.
2. Go to Edit.
3. Select AI remover.
4. Choose Quick brush.
5. Brush over the Sora icon or watermark area.
6. Export the cleaned video.

Keep the brush strokes tight. Only cover the watermark itself, so the tool doesn’t blur details you want to keep.

No CapCut Pro? Use Canva instead

If you don’t have CapCut Pro, you can use Canva as an alternative to clean up the watermark. The main idea is the same: import the video, remove the watermark, then export.

The tool names and exact clicks may differ inside Canva, but the goal stays the same: erase the watermark area and keep the clip looking natural.

Upload-ready finish: keep it simple

After the watermark is removed, your video is ready for Shorts, Reels, or TikTok. Before you post, do a quick final check:

• Watch it full-screen at least once.
• Look closely at the watermark area to make sure it doesn’t flicker.
• Make sure the action is easy to understand in the first second.

Short videos live or die on clarity. If the moment is obvious straight away, people stay.

Conclusion

Making Sora 2 style videos quickly comes down to a repeatable process: use a VPN if you need one, pick a proven idea from TikTok, generate a detailed prompt with ChatGPT, then create and download your clip from the Sora explore platform. After that, remove the watermark in CapCut (or use Canva if that’s what you have). If you stick to proven patterns, you spend less time guessing and more time publishing.
