ChatGPT writes it, Brilly makes it
Ask ChatGPT for the idea and a one-line prompt. Paste it into Brilly Studio, pick a model or let Auto choose, and get the clip.
Can ChatGPT make videos?
No, not anymore. OpenAI closed Sora, its video app, on 26 April 2026. ChatGPT makes pictures, and is starting to make short looping GIFs, but not video clips. Brilly does: describe the clip, or let ChatGPT write the idea, and get a 5- or 10-second video.
OpenAI's help center: The Sora web and app experiences were discontinued on April 26, 2026.
Checked 5 Nov 2026
A 5-second clip is from 6 credits. Works alongside any ChatGPT plan.
Give me a 5-second video idea for my café's new latte, as one line I can paste into a video tool.Try this: “A latte being poured in a sunny café, slow motion.” Vertical works best for Reels.

ChatGPT is great for the idea, the script and the picture. The moving part needs a video model.

Three ways to get the video
Brilly inside ChatGPT
An admin adds Brilly as a custom plugin in ChatGPT on the web, under Settings → Plugins, with this address:
Then ask for a clip in the chat, and it plays right there.
OpenAI offers custom plugins that make things only on these plans. On Pro, custom plugins can only read.
Or ask Claude

Questions
