Introducing Sora and video playground in Azure AI Foundry
The video playground in Azure AI Foundry is your high-fidelity testbed for prototyping with cutting-edge video technology fashions – like Sora from Azure AI Foundry Fashions – prepared for business use. Learn our Tech Group launch weblog on gpt-image-1 and Sora.
Fashionable improvement entails working throughout a number of techniques—APIs, companies, SDKs, and information fashions—typically earlier than you’re prepared to totally decide to a framework, write exams, or spin up infrastructure. Because the complexity of software program ecosystems will increase, the necessity for secure, light-weight environments to validate concepts turns into important. Video playground was constructed to fulfill this want.
Objective-built for builders, video playground affords a managed surroundings to experiment with immediate constructions, consider mannequin consistency relative to immediate adherence, and optimize outputs for business use circumstances. Whether or not you’re constructing AI-native video merchandise, instruments, or remodeling your enterprise workflows, video playground enhances your planning and experimentation — so you may iterate quicker, de-risk your workflows, and ship with confidence.
Quickly prototype from immediate to playback to code
Video playground affords an on-demand, low-friction-setup surroundings designed for speedy prototyping, API exploration and technical validation with video technology fashions. Consider video playground as your high-fidelity prototyping surroundings – constructed that can assist you construct higher, quicker and smarter – with no configuration of localhost, importing clashing dependencies or worrying about compatibility between construct and mannequin.
Sora from Azure OpenAI is the primary launch for video playground – with the mannequin coming with its personal API – a novel providing accessible for Azure AI Foundry customers. Utilizing the API in VS Code permits for scaled improvement in your VS Code surroundings to your use case as soon as your preliminary experimentation is completed within the video playground.
- Iterate quicker: Experiment with textual content prompts and modify technology controls like facet ratio, decision and period.
- Immediate optimization: Debug, tune and re-write immediate syntax with AI, visually evaluate outcomes throughout variations you’re testing with, use prebuilt business prompts, and construct your personal immediate variations accessible within the playground, grounded in mannequin conduct.
- Constant interface for API: All the things in video playground mirrors the mannequin API construction, so what works right here interprets straight into code, with predictability and repeatability.
Options
We constructed video playground for builders who need to experiment with video technology. Video playground is a full featured managed surroundings for high-fidelity experiments designed for model-specific APIs – and an amazing demo interface to your Chief Product Officer and Engineering VP.
- Mannequin-specific technology controls: Alter key controls (e.g. facet ratio, period, decision) to deeply perceive particular mannequin responsiveness and constraints.
- Pre-built prompts: Get impressed on how you need to use video technology fashions like Sora to your use case. Within the pre-built prompts tab, there’s a set of 9 curated movies by Microsoft.
- Port to manufacturing with multi-lingual code samples: Within the case of Sora from Azure OpenAI – this displays the Sora API – a novel providing accessible to Azure AI Foundry customers. Utilizing the “View Code” multi-lingual code samples (Python, JavaScript, GO, cURL) to your video output, prompts and technology controls that mirror the API construction. What you create within the video playground may be simply ported into VS Code so as to proceed scaled improvement in VS Code with the API.
- Aspect-by-side observations in grid view: Visually observe outputs throughout immediate tweaks or parameter adjustments.
- Azure AI Content material Security integration: With all mannequin endpoints built-in with Azure AI Content material Security, dangerous and unsafe movies are filtered.
See a demo of those options and Sora in video playground in our devoted breakout session at Microsoft Construct 2025 right here.
No want to search out, construct or configure a customized UI to localhost for video technology, hope that it’ll routinely work for the following state-of-the-art mannequin, or spend time resolving cascading construct errors resulting from packages or code adjustments required for brand spanking new fashions. The video playground in Azure AI Foundry offers you version-aware entry. Construct with the newest fashions with API updates surfaced in a constant UI.
What to check for in video playground
When utilizing video playground, as you intend your manufacturing workload, think about the next as you’re visually assessing your generations:
- Immediate-to-Movement Translation
- Does the video mannequin interpret my immediate in a method that makes logical and temporal sense?
- Is movement coherent with the described motion or scene? How may I exploit Re-write with AI to enhance my immediate?
- Body Consistency
- Do characters, objects, and types stay constant throughout frames?
- Are there visible artifacts, jitter, or unnatural transitions?
- Scene Management
- How effectively can I management scene composition, topic conduct, or digicam angles?
- Can I information scene transitions or background environments?
- Size and Timing
- How do totally different immediate constructions have an effect on video size and pacing?
- Does the video really feel too quick, too gradual, or too brief?
- Multimodal Enter Integration
- What occurs once I present a reference picture, pose information, or audio enter?
- Can I generate video with lip-sync to a given voiceover?
- Publish-Processing Wants
- What stage of uncooked constancy can I anticipate earlier than I want enhancing instruments?
- Do I must upscale, stabilize, or retouch the video earlier than utilizing it in manufacturing?
- Latency & Efficiency
- How lengthy does it take to generate video for various immediate sorts or resolutions?
- What’s the cost-performance tradeoff of producing 5s vs. 15s clips?
