Show HN: Hoocta – Sora videos generator and timeline editor (without watermarks) (hoocta.com)

Hoocta is a new web tool built around OpenAI’s Sora 2 model that lets you generate and edit videos with a timeline interface — importantly, it can queue and render multiple clips in parallel so you don’t have to wait for each job to finish. The product pairs Sora 2’s audio+video generation (speech, sound effects, and synchronized soundscapes) with a timeline editor for shot sequencing, layering, and simple compositing; the listing also includes a Q&A that explains how Hoocta’s credit and watermark policy works, and emphasizes that outputs are delivered without watermarks. Technically, Sora 2 is described as a step‑change for generative video: better physical consistency (object persistence, realistic collisions and motion), multi‑shot scene continuity, and controllable stylistic modes from cinematic to anime. It supports conditioning on real footage so people or objects can be convincingly integrated into generated scenes, and it synchronizes dialogue and effects natively. For creators and ML engineers this speeds iteration on short-form content, VFX prototyping, and multimodal pipelines, but it also heightens concerns around consent, deepfakes, and detection/attribution—areas the tool’s Q&A and crediting scheme aim to address.
