AI videos are taking the internet by storm, and Sora 2<\/a>, OpenAI\u2019s next-generation video creation tool, has made it easier than ever to bring your ideas to life. One common question I hear from creators is: which celebrities and public figures can actually be used legally in Sora 2 videos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to strict copyright protections<\/a>, living celebrities without explicit consent are off-limits. However, there is still a wide range of figures you can feature, including historical icons, deceased celebrities, public domain characters, and Cameos from Sora users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, I\u2019ll share my tested list and tips for creating professional-quality AI videos with these figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sora 2\u2019s capabilities are undeniable. However, accessing it currently still requires an invite code<\/a>. No need to worry if you don\u2019t have one\u2014Global GPT has already integrated Sora 2<\/a>, allowing you to use it freely without an invite. Plus, it comes with fewer content restrictions<\/a> and no watermark hassles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global GPT currently integrates Sora 2 Pro<\/a><\/strong>, which can generate videos up to 25 seconds long<\/a>. Normally, Sora 2 Pro is only available for users with a $200\/month ChatGPT Pro subscription<\/strong>, but with Global GPT, you can use it without the expensive subscription<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
