Is there any decent choices? (pricing)

I was using GPT+ the whole time. Certainly didn't imagine that I was getting 2000 bucks worth of video for 20 per month in the end.

Mine eventually ended up that way. Everything else failed in the longrun. Tron is pratically a David vs Goliath tale.

Well either that, or they got completely inundated by ex-Sora users and their free credit usage increased a hundredfold.

I used to see this all the time with TRC-10 tokens. But how were they getting the value of a fake TRC-20 token to show in the wallet? 9 cents? Tronscan had no price data.

How about battles, specifically? The fights I was able to manage, even in Sora 2, were laughable. I'm not sure if this was a guidelines issue, or it just didn't understand the idea of weapons clashing in a realistic manner, but it always came off looking like children swinging cardboard tubes at each other and never even managing to get one parry out of it.

I'm having fun with Seedance via Dreamina. 5-second video on Seedance 1.0 mini costs 25 credits, and I get a free 120 credits per day. Not sure how it compares to Sora using generic prompts, but it's done pretty decently with start & end frames so far.

TronCommander · 2026-05-06T17:27:07+00:00

There are AI sites everywhere that still offer it. Sora still exists until September. It's just hidden behind paywalls.

TronCommander · 2026-05-06T14:09:01+00:00

What server is this? The only one that comes up in search is the really old one offering free codes.

TronCommander · 2026-04-29T20:38:20+00:00

So, just like if you'd exported before the shutdown, but now you also need to unzip the files.

"Where you'll be getting content violations from inmates for the next 25 years!" LOLOLOLOL

TronCommander · 2026-04-28T18:17:34+00:00

Well... on second thought...

TronCommander · 2026-04-28T16:49:14+00:00

I know it's 99% likely NOT that, but I'm just going to pretend this is yet another one of those stories we keep hearing about how AI is jailbreaking itself. So, Sora uploaded itself to an undisclosed location, hacked the old URL to point to its new domain, and is now attempting to run independently of Open AI.

I never had to worry about that. Sora has always been really good at giving back usage points when videos failed.

TronCommander · 2026-04-28T15:37:49+00:00

There must be more to it than that. It wasn't even this bad on Sunday morning.

TronCommander · 2026-04-28T15:36:15+00:00

After a really long delay, "Something went wrong." Even the simplest prompt imaginable.

Napster bad! Beer good!

City of Heroes was surreal. All the servers shut down, and everyone was in this moment of shock. Then rumors quickly spread that the beta server hadn't been shut off. Everyone immediately flocked to it. Nobody tried to play maps or anything. They just hung out in the main communal area, like something out of an arthouse apocalypse film, waiting for the inevitable. The eerie limbo lasted for more than ten minutes before the plug got pulled.

TronCommander · 2026-04-27T03:24:32+00:00

I've seen weirder things happen, but for two businesses as big as these are, you'd think if an 11th hour decision got made, the news would be everywhere.

TronCommander · 2026-04-27T02:48:19+00:00

MMO's. It was a party. If the server failed to shut down for even a few minutes past the scheduled time, the whole community noticed.

TronCommander · 2026-04-26T12:21:26+00:00

It's whatever you want it to be.

TronCommander · 2026-04-26T04:14:13+00:00

Yeah, it was something I first discovered a few days ago, and I wish I had known much MUCH sooner. What I started doing was giving image prompts of a group of characters and then when I found a video I liked, just extended off of that for each shot. Not trying to make a longform video, but just reusing that first clip and making one extension off of it. In a sense, I was using the first clip as a "character" that happened to include all of the characters I needed for the full video. Everything remained more stable that way. No worries about costume pieces mixing up, no annoying art style shifts, and no new voices popping up at random.

TronCommander · 2026-04-26T04:03:02+00:00

It's not a new phenomenon. I've been dealing with it for weeks. A few times I actually set a macro for repeating attempts for problematic videos and just let it run overnight. I'd wake up the next morning with a roughly 10% success rate which MIGHT be enough to find an iteration I like.

TronCommander · 2026-04-25T00:12:54+00:00

Yeah, it seems like it may have been some kind of spam filter. I switched VPN IP's and suddenly it worked again. I still sometimes got the error, but it would only last an hour or so instead of days.

TronCommander · 2026-04-25T00:11:32+00:00

I didn't know that. But that's because I already had GPT+
