"OpenAI's Sora app will now let you turn almost anything into a reusable avatar for its AI-generated videos. These " character cameos " are one of several new features that have been added to the Sora 2 video generator, alongside clip stitching and leaderboards that showcase the app's most popular videos and cameos. Character cameos were teased last week, and build on the existing feature that allows Sora users to create AI deepfakes of themselves that can be used by everyone else on the platform, if permitted."
"Once created, each character comes with its own permissions, separate from your personal likeness: keep it just for yourself, share it with mutual followers, or open it to everyone on Sora," OpenAI says in the latest Sora release notes. "Give your character a display name and handle, and tag it whenever you want it to appear in a video. OpenAI says that character cameos can be created using "an original persona" that users generate in Sora, but it's unclear if the feature will accept fictional people generated using other AI tools, or how photorealistic they're permitted to be. If you can just upload any AI-generated person, OpenAI hasn't explained how Sora would distinguish these from images of real people. The update is being launched within days of celebrity video platform Cameo slapping OpenAI with a trademark infringement lawsuit over its usage of "cameo" in Sora app features."
Sora adds character cameos that let users turn nearly anything—people, pets, illustrations, toys—into reusable avatars for AI-generated videos. Each character receives separate permissions, allowing private use, sharing with mutual followers, or opening to everyone, and can be given a display name, handle, and tag for video placement. The feature extends existing user-deepfake capabilities but leaves unclear whether externally generated fictional people or photorealistic AI faces will be accepted or how real-person distinction will be enforced. Sora also introduces video stitching for multi-scene clips and leaderboards for remixed and cameoed content, and the rollout faces a trademark lawsuit from Cameo.
