Sora generates short clips. Long Story builds the whole video.
OpenAI's Sora produces striking short generative video from a prompt — seconds to a minute of footage. It's not built to produce a full-length, narrated documentary from a single topic. Long Story is: it runs the entire pipeline for hours-long videos, so faceless channels can actually ship long-form on a schedule.
