The answer for October 2026
Can ChatGPT Make Videos?
Not on its own, as of October 2026. It writes and makes still images, and OpenAI closed its Sora video app this year. Use ChatGPT for the idea, then add two photos here for a video of you and a friend.

The short answer
Can ChatGPT make videos? As of October 2026, no: it writes text and makes still images, but it does not render video clips. OpenAI closed the Sora app and website on April 26, 2026 and switched off the Sora API on September 24, 2026. The Gemini app makes short videos from photos on a paid Google AI plan. For a video of you and a friend, use ChatGPT for the idea and this page for the video: add a photo of each of you, and the Hotel Lobby rap video costs 6 credits for 12 seconds on Wan 3.0, ready in about 5 to 15 minutes. An AI rap about a topic ChatGPT helps you write is 10 credits at 720p, and a one-photo effect 4.
Updated
The short version
Can ChatGPT make videos in October 2026?
It writes, plans, and creates or edits still images, but its own models do not make video clips. OpenAI’s video model, Sora, had its own app and website, where people could also put themselves in a scene. OpenAI closed both on April 26, 2026 and shut down the Sora API on September 24, 2026.
Can ChatGPT make videos with plugins?
OpenAI lists plugins from other companies, such as invideo, that make videos from inside ChatGPT on its work plans and in Codex. Whether you can use one depends on your plan, workspace and region, and the video comes from that company’s tool, not from OpenAI’s own model.
Three steps
ChatGPT for the idea, this page for the video
Instruction diagram 01Ask ChatGPT for one line
For an AI rap: one sentence, up to 120 characters, with both names and one real detail.
Instruction diagram 02Add your two photos
One per person, or one of you both. For your own topic, tap Change on the sound row, then Switch to Seedance 2.0 Mini, and paste the line; or start from the AI rap generator page, which opens on it.

Pick 9:16 for TikTok and Reels. The price is on the button, and a failed render is refunded.
What you get
What you can make here instead
Your topic, as a rap
The AI writes an original verse and beat from your line: 10 credits at 720p.
One-photo effects
One photo becomes a short scene, from an Earth zoom out to a hug: 4 credits.
No app needed
It runs in your phone’s browser and ends in an MP4.
ChatGPT, Gemini and this site: who makes videos
| October 2026 | ChatGPT | Gemini app | Hotel Lobby Video |
|---|---|---|---|
| Makes a video clip itself | No, text and still images | Yes, 10-second videos with Gemini Omni | Yes, rap videos and effects |
| Video from your photos | No | Yes, up to 5 photos | Yes, one photo or two |
| Your own face in it | No; OpenAI’s video app closed in April 2026 | Your own avatar, account owner only; not in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK | Yes, faces from your photos |
| What you need | Not applicable | A Google AI plan, 18 or over | Credits; the smallest pack is 10 credits for $9.99 |
The first two columns only repeat what OpenAI and Google say on their own pages. Google says Gemini Omni will replace Veo in the Gemini app, and features vary by plan and region, so check before you pay.
What ChatGPT is good for before you make a video
- The idea: ask which format suits you and a friend, a rap duo, a hug or a trend clip.
- The angle: a birthday roast, a road trip gone wrong, best friends since second grade.
- The one line. Try: “One clean, funny line, under 120 characters, about Sam and Jo’s road trip where the GPS sent us into a lake, with both names.”
The AI writes its own verse from that line, in the language you typed it in, so full lyrics from ChatGPT are not rapped word for word. For exact words, record them and upload 2 to 15 seconds as Your song: the lead lip-syncs to your recording (how it works).
What this site cannot do
- Make a video from a text prompt alone. Every video starts from your photos.
- Make a solo rap. The rap video always has two performers; a solo photo works on the Effects tab.
- Add captions or a lyrics sheet. Add captions afterwards in TikTok, Instagram or CapCut.
- Use strangers or public figures. Only people who agreed to be in the video.

Can ChatGPT make videos?
Not as of October 2026. It can write a script or lyrics and make still images, but it does not render video. OpenAI’s video app and its video API have both closed.
Will ChatGPT make videos again?
Unknown. In September 2026 OpenAI’s support team told a user asking for video inside ChatGPT that it had no timeline to share.
Can ChatGPT make a video from a photo?
No. You can upload a photo and get a new still image or ideas back, not a moving clip. Here one photo makes an effect, and two photos make a rap video.
Can ChatGPT make a video of me?
No. OpenAI’s video app let people put themselves in a scene, but it closed on April 26, 2026. Here you add a clear photo of yourself, and a friend’s for the rap video.
What happened to Sora?
OpenAI discontinued the web and app on April 26, 2026, and removed the video models and the Videos API from its API on September 24, 2026.
Can Gemini make videos from photos?
Yes, on a paid Google AI plan, 18 or over. Google’s help page says you can upload up to 5 images per video, only images you have the right to use.
Can I paste lyrics ChatGPT wrote?
Not as lyrics. The topic box takes one line, up to 120 characters, and the AI writes its own verse. For your exact words, record them and upload them as Your song.
How do I make a video of me and a friend from photos?
Add a photo of each of you, or one of both, and tap Create video: 6 credits for 12 seconds. Switch to Seedance 2.0 Mini for an AI rap about your own topic.
Is it free?
No. Every video is paid with credits when you create it; the smallest pack is 10 credits for $9.99, and a failed render is refunded automatically.
