Capabilities

What Sora 2 API adds to your video workflow

Use Sora 2 when your product needs realistic motion, prompt-driven video generation, reference-image control, or higher-end Pro output.

Realistic text-to-video

Turn prompts into cinematic clips with more believable camera movement, subject motion, and scene physics.

Image-to-video control

Start from a reference image to preserve subject identity, framing, style, and product details across the generated clip.

Audio-aware output

Create clips that can include audio-oriented settings where supported, helping ads, shorts, and story scenes feel more complete.

Pro and storyboard modes

Use Pro variants for higher-end generation and storyboard mode when you need structured scene planning.
