I’m trying to implement the remix feature using the API, but I’m not sure how I can get a video_id unless it’s from a video that I’ve created. How can I get the video_id from other people’s videos?
The API is only for your own organization content. User data is scoped not just to an organization, but even pinned to a “project” within an organization.
In addition, while you can generate a video with sora-2, it is doubly a “can’t remix other’s videos”, because your own video downloads are expiring from blob storage in one hour.
You can only use that ephemeral ID of your own as an input to re-prompt. You cannot consume any outside videos. Certainly not from a different application than the API entirely.
The only input that you can place besides prompt language to the video endpoint is an image to inspire the first video frame generated, and then it must be sized the same as the request’s image size.
If you want sharing of videos, you’ll have to create a service and platform offering sharing and persisting of videos, but no video manipulation. Then: tell users why they are denied all the time, a face or not, and yet must be billed for content OpenAI is freely giving out otherwise on their own platform.
