sora 2 workflow model and generated output

Generate audio and video

Render dynamic 4, 8, or 12-second clips with natively synchronized soundscapes.

What Sora 2 is good at

From synchronized dialogue to spacetime physics modeling, explore the core capabilities powering professional AI video generation.

Native Synchronized Audio

Generate dialogue and environmental sound effects directly aligned to on-screen kinetic action, eliminating post-production foley syncing.

Spacetime Physics Engine

Accurately compute gravity, momentum, and fluid interactions using diffusion transformer spacetime patches instead of sequential frame interpolation.

Multi-Shot Character Persistence

Sustain persistent character design, clothing details, and environmental state across multiple continuous camera cuts within a single generation.

Dual Production Tiers

Prototype rapidly at 720p with standard Sora 2, then step up to Sora 2 Pro for master-quality 1792x1024 landscape and 1024x1792 portrait renders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sora 2 Pro is built for final commercial production and high-resolution delivery up to 1024p, while standard Sora 2 is optimized for rapid prototyping at 720p. Standard Sora 2 renders significantly faster at a lower cost per second, making it ideal for testing prompts and camera movement. Sora 2 Pro provides superior physical accuracy, complex kinetic stability, and higher micro-textural fidelity at higher latency.

Choose standard Sora 2 when drafting shot concepts, testing prompts, or publishing social media content where 720p resolution suffices. Switch to Sora 2 Pro when producing hero shots, client deliverables, or scenes with intricate physics and multi-shot transitions requiring high-resolution 1792x1024 landscape or 1024x1792 portrait output.

Sora 2 generates sound effects, ambient room tone, and dialogue directly in sync with the visual timeline during video synthesis. Because audio is created natively alongside the video frames, sound events like footsteps, collisions, and character speech align with on-screen action without post-production foley.

Sora 2 supports clip durations of 4, 8, or 12 seconds across four standardized aspect ratios. Available dimensions include 1280x720 landscape, 720x1280 portrait, 1792x1024 landscape, and 1024x1792 portrait, allowing flexible formatting for both widescreen cinema and vertical mobile platforms.

Sora 2 is not suitable for low-latency real-time rendering, as generation takes several minutes per clip. It also struggles with fine legible micro-text on background signs, hyper-fast hand interactions, and multi-character dialogue scenes where overlapping speech can cause lip-sync drift.
