Log InOpenAI's state-of-the-art video generation model with physics-accurate motion, synchronized audio generation, and cinematic realism. Create professional 1080p videos up to 20 seconds with unprecedented control over camera movements, world state consistency, and multi-shot narratives.
What makes Sora 2 the frontier of AI video generation
Advanced physics modeling enables realistic dynamics—basketball rebounds, Olympic gymnastics, fluid interactions. If a character makes a mistake, it appears as an authentic human error, not a technical glitch. Sora 2 models the internal world state with scientific precision.
Native audio-visual generation with sophisticated soundscapes, speech, and sound effects. Dialogue syncs perfectly with lip movements, background music matches scene pacing, and environmental sounds enhance immersion across photorealistic to anime styles.
Revolutionary self-insertion technology—record yourself once to appear in any generated scene. Full opt-in control with verification protection, voice capture, and appearance preservation. Revocable at any time for complete user sovereignty.
Native 1080p output with 480p and 720p support, cinematic quality at 24fps for production-ready results
Maintains continuity across multiple shots—camera perspective, scene lighting, and character appearances stay consistent
Handles complex multi-shot prompts with accurate world state persistence and narrative coherence
Excels at realistic, cinematic, and anime styles with consistent quality across visual aesthetics
Generate videos from 5 to 20 seconds with precise control over timing and narrative pacing
Visible watermarks, C2PA metadata provenance tracking, and internal moderation tools for responsible AI
Transform ideas and images into cinematic video content
Generate complete videos from natural language prompts with physics-accurate motion, synchronized audio, and cinematic camera control. Describe shot type, subject, action, setting, and lighting for best results.
Transform static images into dynamic videos with motion, camera movements, and audio. The input image resolution must match the final video resolution (720x1280 or 1280x720) for seamless transformation.
High-resolution cinematic footage for campaigns, product demos with physics-accurate motion, and branded content
Pre-visualization, concept development, storyboard creation with consistent world state across scenes
Product showcases with realistic physics, tutorial videos, and customer experience demonstrations
Instructional content with accurate physics demonstrations, course materials, and educational narratives
Anime and photorealistic content, character-driven stories, cinematic sequences with audio
YouTube videos, social media content, rapid prototyping with Cameo feature integration
Complete API suite for Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video generation
Our Sora 2 T2V API transforms natural language prompts into physics-accurate videos with synchronized audio. Generate professional 1080p videos up to 20 seconds with cinematic camera control and world state consistency.
Our Sora 2 I2V API brings still images to life with motion, camera movements, and audio generation. Input resolution must match output video resolution (720x1280 or 1280x720) for seamless transformation.
Both Sora 2 T2V API and I2V API support RESTful architecture with comprehensive documentation. Get started with SDKs for Python, Node.js, and more. Choose between sora-2 for rapid iteration or sora-2-pro for polished cinematic results. All endpoints include physics-accurate motion and synchronized audio generation.

Go to the Sora 2 playground, choose T2V or I2V mode, and generate videos instantly
Sora 2 uses advanced world state modeling to simulate realistic physics—basketballs rebound accurately, gymnastics follow real dynamics, and fluids behave naturally. When characters make "mistakes," they appear as authentic human errors, not technical glitches, because Sora 2 models internal agent behavior.
Record yourself once to capture your likeness and voice. Sora 2 can then insert you into any generated scene with consistent appearance. It's fully opt-in with verification protection against impersonation, and you can revoke access at any time. Your identity, your control.
Sora 2 generates videos from 5 to 20 seconds in 480p, 720p, and 1080p resolutions. For Image-to-Video generation, the input image resolution must match the output video resolution (either 720x1280 or 1280x720) for seamless transformation.
sora-2 is optimized for speed and exploration—fast iteration when testing tone, structure, or visual style. sora-2-pro takes longer but produces higher quality, more polished results ideal for cinematic footage and marketing assets. Choose based on your workflow stage.
Yes! Every Sora 2 video includes visible watermarks and C2PA metadata for content provenance tracking. Internal moderation tools detect prohibited or harmful content. The model enforces strict restrictions: no copyrighted characters, no real people generation, only content suitable for audiences under 18.
Yes! Sora 2 videos are production-ready for marketing campaigns, client deliverables, branded content, and commercial applications. The physics-accurate motion and synchronized audio make it ideal for professional use cases across industries.
