Sora 2

OpenAI's world-model — the most realistic AI video generation

Resolution

1080p HD

Speed

~90–150 seconds

Duration

10 seconds

When OpenAI unveiled Sora, it redefined what the world thought was possible with AI video. Sora 2 builds on that foundation with improved temporal consistency, more accurate physics simulation, and the ability to generate 10-second clips at 1080p — longer than any competitor. Sora 2 works as a world model: it understands depth, gravity, fluid dynamics, and spatial relationships, resulting in video that behaves like it was filmed in the real world. For storytelling, film production, and premium content that demands the absolute best, Sora 2 stands alone.

Use cases

Short Film Production

Generate cinematic 10-second shots for short film and video production with physics-accurate motion and professional quality.

Premium Brand Storytelling

Create narrative-driven brand videos with complex scene motion, environmental interaction, and cinematic consistency.

Visual Effects Prototyping

Prototype VFX sequences and cinematic effects before costly production — test scene compositions with AI-generated motion.

Documentary B-roll

Generate atmospheric B-roll footage of environments, objects, and scenes that are difficult or expensive to film.

Example prompt

"Slow push-in on a lone lighthouse standing on a rocky cliff, massive storm waves crashing below, lightning illuminating dark churning clouds, spray misting the lens, cinematic 35mm film look"

Prompting tips

1

Write cinematic camera movement into your prompt: 'slow dolly forward', 'crane shot rising', 'handheld follow'

2

Use it for your most important, high-visibility video pieces

3

The longer 10-second duration allows for more complex motion arcs than other models

Frequently asked questions

What makes Sora 2 unique compared to other video models?

Sora 2 generates longer clips (10 seconds vs 5–8 for others), has the most accurate physics simulation, and maintains temporal consistency over the full clip duration. It's the most capable model but also the most expensive.

Is Sora 2 worth the 15-credit cost?

For high-stakes creative work — brand campaigns, film production, premium content — yes. For casual video generation, Kling 2.6 or Hailuo offer excellent quality at lower cost.
