Sora 2
Sora 2 is an advanced AI video generator built for physically consistent motion, synchronized dialogue and effects, and controllable storytelling across industries.
Four Core Advantages of Sora 2
Sora 2 strengthens physical plausibility, fuses synchronized audio tracks, enables cameo-based personalization, and sustains multi-shot continuity for immersive narratives.
Physics-Grounded Motion
Sora 2 models believable dynamics and interactions—balance, inertia, collisions, and gravity—so actions like leaping, surfing, or sprinting read as natural on screen.
Audio in Sync
Images, dialogue, ambience, and sound effects are generated in tandem, yielding complete audio-visual sequences without separate mixing or manual timing.
Personalized Cameos
By combining uploaded faces and voices, Sora 2 lets creators feature themselves or teammates inside generated scenes for custom identity and style.
Shot-to-Shot Coherence
The model preserves consistent appearance and logic across frames and angles, helping multi-shot edits feel continuous and camera moves stay readable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Key details and usage guidance for creators working with Sora 2.
How to use Sora 2?
Sora 2 supports both text-to-video and image-to-video generation. You can start from a descriptive prompt or upload one or more reference images to define subjects, lighting, or composition. Once uploaded, choose the duration and resolution, then click Generate. The system automatically analyzes motion cues, audio alignment, and story flow, producing a ready-to-share clip. Advanced users can further refine prompts, add negative cues, or import previous storyboards for scene continuity.
How long does generation take?
Most Sora 2 jobs complete within about two minutes, though the exact duration depends on scene length, frame resolution, and motion complexity. For example, a ten-second 720p scene with a single character usually renders in roughly 90 seconds, while multi-shot cinematic scenes with rich lighting and sound may take up to three or four minutes. During generation, progress is shown in real time, and users may queue multiple tasks simultaneously without losing priority credits.
How are credits calculated?
Each standard Sora 2 render consumes 30 credits for approximately 10 seconds of output at default resolution. Higher resolutions, extended durations, or multi-angle scenes require proportionally more. Credits cover not only video synthesis but also synchronized sound and frame stabilization. If a generation fails or is cancelled early, partial credits are automatically refunded. Users can monitor detailed consumption under the Account → Credits History panel for transparency and cost control.
What are upload limits?
Sora 2 accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WEBP files up to 5 MB each. These files serve as style or subject references rather than literal frames. Multiple uploads can be combined for composite guidance—for example, one portrait for identity, another image for environment, and a texture reference for lighting mood. To ensure clean motion tracking, avoid uploading heavily filtered or distorted pictures. Files exceeding 5 MB or unsupported formats will be automatically rejected to maintain system stability.
Can outputs be used commercially?
Yes. Videos generated by Sora 2 can be used for advertising, educational materials, film pre-visualization, or other commercial purposes under standard license terms. Users retain full rights to distribute and monetize their results, provided they respect OpenAI’s content-policy restrictions—especially regarding likeness or voice use of real individuals. For professional work, it is recommended to archive the project metadata and prompt text for recordkeeping and compliance verification.
How to get better results?
Because Sora 2 includes stochastic creativity, each render may vary slightly. To achieve higher realism, use concise yet specific prompts that define motion intent, lighting conditions, and emotional tone. Combining visual references with textual guidance yields the most stable outcomes. For cinematic work, segment the narrative into short clips using storyboards, then merge them afterward. Adjust camera angle hints, perspective tags, or soundtrack style to refine pacing and coherence over iterations.
