This Japanese-language tutorial, uploaded on April 18, 2024, explains how to run Open-Sora-Plan's source code in Google Colab and generate video clips through its interface. The supplied material gives no release version or separate recording date. It demonstrates a hosted GPU workflow rather than execution on the viewer's own hardware, and its setup details reflect the upload's period.
The presenter creates a notebook, then selects Python 3 and an A100 GPU in the runtime settings. They explain that choosing the A100 automatically enables high memory and that the free Colab tier cannot select that GPU, so the demonstration uses paid Colab. These are the conditions described for this walkthrough, not a statement of current Colab availability or minimum requirements for every Open-Sora-Plan installation.
The installation step uses commands copied from a linked supplementary page. The presenter expects execution to take more than ten minutes. Once a link appears in the notebook output, they open it to reach the video generation interface.
The examples begin by selecting a sample to load its settings, then entering a text prompt. One describes a quiet beach at dawn with gentle waves and a pastel sky. After trying another sample, the presenter enters a prompt for a busy city street at night with neon signs and pedestrians. The focus is the setup and prompt workflow; the transcript does not establish output resolution or generation speed.
