I believe that sora alone can make great (pre-edited) videos, but I am short of the $200/mo. I came up with a new workflow last night that seems to work VERY WELL. Sora will give you 30 free widescreen renders on a desktop, good for part of a video or using the striped/edited audio track. Rendering images gives you total control of the appearance through Leo (unlimited option is not bad) lower tier banana if money is no limit. Rendering video in Hailuo 2.3, if money is no limit then Kling or Seedance (Veo is too formatted and similar in style to be original IMHO) *great for commercial uses tho.
Not a great enough difference in quality to pay the premiums for top of the line right now, but I will throw in a few higher end renders to try it out, i.e. the car scenes in this;
First attempts below;

I have also switched from my older video editor to capcut, neat transitions, good rendering.
