Notice — Service Stability

The Sora 2 family is currently unstable. Generations may fall back to alternative models without notice and the service can be temporarily unavailable. OpenAI is also expected to discontinue this model in the future.

If you need an equally capable, stable alternative, we recommend Seedance 2: bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video.

Sora 2 Text-to-Video

Sora 2 Text-to-Video is OpenAI’s text-to-video model purpose-built for scenes featuring multiple distinct characters simultaneously. Describe the scene in natural language, reference your pre-defined character IDs, and the model renders a cohesive, temporally consistent video where every character looks and moves exactly as intended — no manual compositing required.

Why Choose This?

• True multi-character consistency Reference two or more character IDs in a single generation. Each character retains its unique appearance, proportions, and style throughout every frame.

• Natural-language scene control Describe interactions, environments, and actions in plain text. The model understands spatial relationships and character dynamics to produce believable compositions.

• Flexible aspect ratio support Choose between portrait (720×1280) and landscape (1280×720) orientations to match your target platform.

• Scalable duration Generate clips from 4 seconds up to 20 seconds in fixed steps, giving you full control over pacing and output cost.

• Production-ready output Delivers smooth, artifact-free motion suitable for marketing content, storytelling, game cinematics, and social media video.

Pro Tips

• Start with a 4-second generation to validate composition and character rendering before committing to a longer duration.
