Sora 2 — Powered by OpenAI | The #1 2025 Sora AI Video Generator

Sora 2 is OpenAI's advanced AI video generator that creates realistic, high-quality videos from text descriptions or images. Using cutting-edge diffusion models and temporal consistency technology, Sora 2 understands physics, motion, and scene composition to generate cinematic Sora 2 videos up to 60 seconds long. Simply describe your vision or upload an image, and Sora 2 brings it to life with smooth motion and coherent storytelling powered by Sora 2.

Sora 2 stands out with superior temporal consistency (smooth motion without flickering in Sora 2), understanding of real-world physics and object permanence in Sora 2, cinematic quality with professional camera movements in Sora 2, ability for Sora 2 to generate up to 1080p resolution, Sora 2 support for both text-to-video and image-to-video, coherent storytelling across long sequences with Sora 2, and realistic lighting and shadows. Powered by OpenAI, Sora 2 represents the cutting edge of AI video technology.

Sora 2 excels at creating diverse video content including: cinematic scenes and establishing shots with Sora 2, product demonstrations and showcases using Sora 2, explainer and tutorial videos by Sora 2, social media content (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts) created with Sora 2, marketing and advertising videos generated by Sora 2, animated stories and narratives with Sora 2, concept visualizations using Sora 2, nature and landscape videos by Sora 2, character animations with Sora 2, and architectural walkthroughs created by Sora 2. Sora 2 handles both realistic and stylized aesthetics with equal capability.

Sora 2 generation time depends on video length and quality. A 5-second Sora 2 video typically takes 2-3 minutes to generate, a 20-second Sora 2 video takes 5-8 minutes, and a full 60-second Sora 2 video takes 12-15 minutes. Higher resolution (1080p) with Sora 2 takes longer than standard (720p). Complex scenes with multiple elements may require additional Sora 2 processing time. You'll receive progress updates during Sora 2 generation so you know exactly when your Sora 2 video will be ready.

Sora 2 supports MP4 format (compatible with all platforms) with H.264 codec for universal playback. Resolution options include 720p (1280×720) for quick previews and social media, 1080p (1920×1080) for professional quality, and various aspect ratios: 16:9 (YouTube, traditional video), 9:16 (TikTok, Instagram Stories), 1:1 (Instagram feed), and 4:5 (Instagram portrait). Frame rates are typically 24fps (cinematic) or 30fps (smooth motion).

Yes! All videos generated with Sora 2 include a commercial license, meaning you can use Sora 2 videos in: YouTube videos and monetized content created with Sora 2, social media ads and campaigns using Sora 2, TV commercials and broadcast with Sora 2, product marketing and demonstrations by Sora 2, websites and presentations featuring Sora 2, client projects and freelance work using Sora 2, educational content with Sora 2, and entertainment media created by Sora 2. You retain full rights to use, edit, and monetize your Sora 2 generated videos.

No video editing skills required for Sora 2! Sora 2 is designed for everyone, from beginners to professional filmmakers. Simply write what you want to see in natural language with Sora 2 (e.g., 'a sunset over ocean waves with seagulls flying') or upload an image to animate with Sora 2. The Sora 2 AI handles all technical aspects: camera movement, lighting, motion, and composition. For advanced users, you can fine-tune Sora 2 parameters for more control over the final Sora 2 output.

Absolutely! After generation, you can: download and edit in video software (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve), extend the video by generating continuation sequences, regenerate with modified prompts for variations, combine multiple Sora 2 clips into longer videos, add music, voiceovers, and sound effects, adjust colors and apply filters, or use the video as B-roll footage in larger projects. Sora 2 videos are standard MP4 files compatible with all editing tools.

Video generation uses more credits than images due to complexity. Typically: 5-second video costs 10 credits, 20-second video costs 40 credits, and 60-second video costs 120 credits. 1080p resolution uses 1.5x credits compared to 720p. Image-to-video uses 20% fewer credits than text-to-video since the initial frame is provided. Your monthly credits renew based on your plan, and you can purchase additional credits if needed.

While highly advanced, Sora 2 has some limitations: maximum video length of 60 seconds per generation (but you can chain multiple clips), occasional physics inconsistencies in complex scenes, text rendering can be imperfect, human faces and hands may occasionally show artifacts, highly detailed or fast-paced action can be challenging, and generation times are longer than image creation. However, OpenAI continuously improves these aspects with updates.

To maximize Sora 2 quality: be specific in Sora 2 descriptions (mention camera angles, lighting, mood), describe motion explicitly in Sora 2 ('camera slowly pans left', 'person walks toward camera'), keep Sora 2 scenes relatively simple for best consistency, mention style preferences for Sora 2 ('cinematic', 'documentary style', 'dreamy'), specify the Sora 2 pacing ('slow motion', 'time-lapse'), and iterate on Sora 2 prompts based on results. For Sora 2 image-to-video, use high-quality, clear source images for best Sora 2 animation results.

Yes! Many professionals use Sora 2 for: concept visualization and pre-visualization (previz) with Sora 2, B-roll footage and establishing shots created by Sora 2, product mockups and demonstrations using Sora 2, social media content at scale with Sora 2, rapid prototyping of ideas using Sora 2, cost-effective special effects by Sora 2, and supplementing traditional filming with Sora 2. While not yet replacing all traditional video production, Sora 2 dramatically reduces costs and production time for many use cases, making professional-quality Sora 2 video accessible to everyone.
