How Sora 2 works

Transform director-style text shot lists or starting images into fully voiced, physically simulated video sequences in seconds.

Frame scene and dialogue

Frame scene and dialogue

Write a director-style prompt detailing camera motion, character dialogue, and sound design, or provide a starting reference image.

Configure duration and fidelity

Configure duration and fidelity

Select clip length from 4 to 12 seconds, choose your aspect ratio, and switch between standard 720p or high-fidelity Pro tiers.

Render cinematic footage

Render cinematic footage

Receive a finished video clip featuring physically consistent motion, accurate lighting, and perfectly synchronized audio tracks.

What Sora 2 is good at

Built on a space-time diffusion transformer that balances physical accuracy, temporal persistence, and natively synchronized multi-layer audio.

Synchronized Dialogue and Audio

Synchronized Dialogue and Audio

Direct character speech with natural lip-syncing and rich background audio generated simultaneously alongside video frames via an integrated cross-attention audio network.

Multi-Shot World Persistence

Multi-Shot World Persistence

Maintain consistent characters, lighting, and environments across multi-shot sequences spanning 4, 8, or 12 seconds using structured shot-list prompting.

Physical World Simulation

Physical World Simulation

Accurately model real-world physical behavior including fluid dynamics, gravity, collisions, and subsurface light scattering through space-time latent patch diffusion.

Pro High-Density Rendering

Pro High-Density Rendering

Select the Pro tier for pristine textures, flawless lip-syncing, and native 1792x1024 landscape or 1024x1792 portrait renders without upscale distortion or temporal morphing.

What people build with Sora 2

From Hollywood previs and commercial mockups to viral social clips and ambient music visualizers, creators use Sora 2 to produce complete scenes with sound in a single pass.

Commercial Storyboards & Spec Ads

01

Produce hyper-realistic video storyboards and spec commercials with physically accurate lighting, fluid simulations, and timed sound effects without booking production crews.

Cinematic Previsualization

02

Previsualize complex multi-shot dramatic scenes with persistent characters, cinematic lens emulation, and natively lip-synced character dialogue.

Game Worldbuilding & Cutscenes

03

Rapidly draft atmospheric cutscenes, ambient environmental sequences, and stylized animated sequences with synchronized audio cues for pitch decks and production bibles.

Vertical Social Video

04

Generate high-impact 720x1280 and 1024x1792 vertical video assets with immersive foley and punchy dialogue tailored for social feeds.

Music Visualizers & Artwork

05

Create synchronized audiovisual visualizers, animated album covers, and backdrop loops where motion cadence locks directly with sound design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sora 2 offers fast, cost-effective rendering capped at 720p resolution (1280x720 or 720x1280), making it ideal for rapid scene prototyping and drafting. Sora 2 Pro unlocks widescreen 1792x1024 and portrait 1024x1792 resolutions, superior physical coherence, pristine textures, and near-flawless lip-syncing for production-grade deliverables.

Choose Sora 2 Pro for close-up dialogue scenes and intricate character interactions. While standard Sora 2 supports synchronized audio, Sora 2 Pro significantly minimizes mouth-to-audio drift on spoken lines and maintains sharper facial geometry throughout the clip.

Sora 2 generates audio simultaneously with the video through an integrated cross-attention audio network. It synthesizes lip-synced character dialogue, environmental sound effects, and ambient background layers directly from your prompt cues, such as Dialogue: and Background Sound: formatting.

Yes, Sora 2 supports both text-to-video and image-to-video workflows. When uploading an image, ensure its aspect ratio matches your chosen output resolution (such as 1280x720 or 1024x1792) to avoid automatic cropping and preserve composition across the sequence.

Sora 2 generates clips at durations of 4, 8, or 12 seconds. It excels at physical simulation and narrative continuity, but it is not intended for real-time rendering, dynamic on-screen typography, or unbroken extended monologues where lip synchronization may degrade over time.

Sora 2 was developed by OpenAI and officially released on September 30, 2025.
