Features

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 Pro

Sora 2 Text-to-Video Pro is OpenAI’s premium text-to-video model. Describe any scene in natural language — AI renders it into a cinematic, high-resolution video with physics-aware motion, temporal consistency, and optional multi-character support. Compared to the standard version, Pro delivers higher fidelity output, broader resolution choices, and enhanced motion coherence for production-grade results.

Why Choose This?

• Premium cinematic quality Higher fidelity output with enhanced detail, motion coherence, and richer scene composition than the standard version.

• Physics-aware motion Understands contact, inertia, and momentum so objects, people, and environments move and interact believably.

• Multi-character scene support Reference pre-defined character IDs to maintain consistent character identity across a single generation — no manual compositing required.

• Broad resolution support Six output sizes spanning portrait and landscape orientations from 720p up to 1080p-class resolutions, suitable for social, cinematic, and broadcast workflows.

• Temporal consistency Stable identities, minimal flicker and ghosting, and clean frame-to-frame transitions throughout.

• Scalable duration Generate clips from 4 seconds up to 20 seconds to match your pacing and production needs.

Pro Tips

• The more specific your prompt, the better the result — include camera style, lighting, era, mood, and character behavior.
• Use portrait sizes (720×1280, 1024×1792, 1080×1920) for mobile-first platforms and landscape for cinematic or desktop formats.
• Start with a 4-second generation at a lower resolution to validate your prompt before committing to longer, higher-resolution runs.
• Character IDs must be created in advance — ensure they are saved and accessible in your account before adding them.

Notes

• Only prompt is required; size, duration, and characters are optional.
• Character IDs reference existing character profiles — this model does not create new character definitions.
• Please follow OpenAI’s usage policies when crafting prompts.
