What's New
Native audio, physics-accurate motion, and multi-shot narrative coherence — all generated in about 90 seconds.
Sora 2 — Native Audio With Synchronized Dialogue
Sora 2 generates speech, ambient sounds, music, and sound effects directly alongside the video — not layered on afterward. Dialogue is lip-synced to character mouth movements, so the audio and visuals feel like a single unified output rather than two separate tracks stitched together.
Sora 2 — Physics-Accurate Motion and Dynamics
Sora 2 models real-world physics with a level of fidelity that prior video generation models couldn't achieve. Buoyancy, rigid-body dynamics, and complex motion — like a backflip on a paddleboard or a triple axel — are rendered with physical accuracy. The model also simulates realistic failure states rather than forcing implausible success.
Sora 2 — Multi-Shot Narrative With Consistent Characters
Sora 2 maintains visual and narrative consistency across multiple shots in a single generation. Characters keep the same appearance between scenes, and the model understands how to structure a sequence with logical continuity — making it practical for short films, ads, and any content that requires more than a single unbroken clip.
Sora 2 — Fast Generation for Iterative Creative Workflows
Sora 2 generates a 20-second video in approximately 90 seconds — roughly three times faster than Sora 1. This speed improvement makes iterative workflows practical: test multiple creative directions, refine prompts, and produce final assets without long waits between generations.

Getting Started
Describe your scene, characters, action, and mood in natural language. Sora 2 understands complex, multi-constraint prompts — camera angles, lighting, physics, and narrative structure.
Sora 2 produces up to 20 seconds of 720p video with native audio in about 90 seconds. Physics, lip-sync, and multi-shot continuity are handled automatically.
Refine your prompt, adjust parameters, and generate variations. Download the final video with embedded audio — no post-processing required.

Use Cases
From social content to professional workflows, see how creators and teams are using AI video generation across industries.
Sora 2's multi-shot coherence and consistent characters make it practical for short-form storytelling. Generate a complete scene sequence with a single prompt — characters stay on-model across cuts, and native audio handles dialogue and ambient sound.
Produce product demos, lifestyle footage, and campaign hero videos at speed. The 3× generation improvement over Sora 1 makes A/B testing multiple creative directions practical within a single session.
Sora 2's physics engine handles complex athletic motion — gymnastics, water sports, martial arts — with accurate body mechanics and environmental dynamics. Ideal for sports brands, training content, and action-oriented campaigns.
Block out scenes, test camera angles, and pitch visual concepts before committing to a full shoot. Sora 2's narrative coherence makes it useful for animatics and pre-vis that directors can actually present to stakeholders.
