Can ChatGPT Make Videos?

Short answer: no, ChatGPT itself does not make videos right now. Use it for the idea, then add a photo of you and a friend here and get the video in a few minutes.

1Add two photos — one person each

Front-facing, well-lit selfies work best. One face per photo — they don't need to be taken together.

2Pick the stage

3Pick quality & length

The lyrics are written around what you type — real names and one detail make it yours. Leave it empty for a general hype song.

The short answer

Can ChatGPT make videos? As of October 2026, no: ChatGPT writes text and makes still images, but it does not generate video. OpenAI closed the Sora app and website on 26 April 2026 and the Sora API on 24 September 2026. Gemini can make short videos from photos on a paid Google AI plan. To get a video of you and a friend from photos, use ChatGPT for the idea and this studio for the video: add a photo of each of you, or one of both, and in a few minutes get a lip-synced rap music video with an original song (a standard 12-second song is 10 credits; one song is $9.99) or a 5-second trend effect for 5 credits. It works in the browser, no subscription needed, and a render that fails is never charged.

Can ChatGPT make videos? The short answer

No, not as of October 2026. ChatGPT writes, answers, plans and makes still images, but it does not make a video. OpenAI’s video model Sora had its own app and website; OpenAI closed both on 26 April 2026 and switched off the Sora API on 24 September 2026. In September 2026, OpenAI support told a user asking for video inside ChatGPT that it had “no timeline to share”.

That is why so many people search “can ChatGPT make videos”, “can ChatGPT make a video from a photo” and “can ChatGPT make a video of me”: the answer changed this year. These things move fast, so if you read this later, check OpenAI’s help center for the current state.

What ChatGPT is good for here

ChatGPT is a good writing partner for the part that comes before the video:

  • Pick the idea. Ask it which trend fits you and a friend: a rap duo, a slow golden-hour shot, a hug.
  • Find the angle. A birthday roast, the camping trip that went wrong, best friends since 2nd grade.
  • Write the one line. The topic box here takes a short line (up to 120 characters). Ask ChatGPT for one sentence with both names and one real detail, then paste it in. The rap is written from that line, so you do not need full lyrics.

How to make a video of you and a friend from photos

  1. Add your photos. One clear photo of each of you, or one photo of the two of you together.
  2. Type what it is about. Paste the line from ChatGPT, or tap a topic chip like Birthday or Best friends.
  3. Tap Make our rap video. In a few minutes you get a lip-synced music video of the two of you performing an original rap, in vertical 9:16, square or widescreen.

Want something shorter? Switch the studio to Effects and pick a 5-second trend clip, such as Raindance, Hug or Earth Zoom Out, then tap Make the effect. One photo is enough for an effect.

What it costs

  • A 5-second effect: 5 credits.
  • A standard rap song (720p, 12 seconds): 10 credits.
  • One song is $9.99 (the Single pack, 10 credits), 5 songs are $29, and pack credits never expire. Monthly plans are optional; no subscription is needed.
  • A render that fails is never charged.

Good to know before you start

  • Use clear, front-facing photos. The faces in the video follow your pictures.
  • Only use photos of people who said yes. Yourself, and friends or family who agreed. No public figures.
  • The songs are original. The voices are generated, never a cloned artist, and no real song’s lyrics are used.
  • You can post it. Unlocked videos may be used for personal and commercial purposes under the Terms.

FAQ

Can ChatGPT make videos: questions

  • Not as of October 2026. ChatGPT can write a script, a storyboard or lyrics and make still images, but it does not render video. OpenAI shut down the Sora app and website on 26 April 2026 and the Sora API on 24 September 2026, and in September 2026 OpenAI support said it had no timeline for video creation inside ChatGPT. Check OpenAI’s help center for the latest.

  • No. You can upload a photo to ChatGPT and get a new still image or ideas back, but not a moving clip. To turn a photo into a video, use a video tool: here, one photo is enough for a 5-second effect, and two photos (or one of both of you) make a rap music video.

  • Not anymore. The Sora app let people put their own face in videos with a feature first called cameos, but that app closed on 26 April 2026. Here you add a clear photo of yourself, and a friend’s if you want them in it, and the video is made with your faces from those photos.

  • ChatGPT does not make videos on any plan as of October 2026. Videos here are paid too, because rendering AI video costs real money: a 5-second effect is 5 credits, a standard rap song is 10 credits, and the $9.99 Single pack holds 10 credits that never expire. No subscription needed, and a failed render is never charged.

  • Yes. As of October 2026 the Gemini app makes short videos with Google’s Gemini Omni model (Google says Omni is replacing Veo in the app). It needs a Google AI subscription and that you must be 18 or over; features vary by plan and country, so check Google’s Gemini help page for yours.

  • Yes, on a paid Google AI plan: Google’s help page says you can upload up to 5 images to create a video, and only photos you have the right to use. Its avatar feature, a digital version of yourself, is for the account owner only and is not available in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK.

  • Add one photo of each of you, or one photo of both, type what the song is about (a birthday, an inside joke) and tap Make our rap video. In a few minutes you get a lip-synced music video with an original rap. Or switch to Effects for a 5-second trend clip such as Raindance or Hug. It works in the browser on your phone, no app.

  • Yes, with the parts before the video: choosing a trend, finding a funny angle, and writing the one line the song is about. The topic box here takes up to 120 characters, so ask ChatGPT for a short line with your names and one real detail; the rap itself is written from that line.
