What's New
What's New in Sora 2 & Sora 2 Pro
Native audio, physics-accurate motion, and multi-shot narrative coherence — all generated in about 90 seconds.
Sora 2 — Native Audio With Synchronized Dialogue
Native Audio-Video Generation
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
Accurate Physics Simulation
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
Coherent Multi-Shot Storytelling
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
3× Faster Generation
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
How to Create AI Videos with Sora 2 & Sora 2 Pro
1
Write Your Prompt
Describe your scene, characters, action, and mood in natural language. Sora 2 understands complex, multi-constraint prompts — camera angles, lighting, physics, and narrative structure.
2
Generate in ~90 Seconds
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.
3
Iterate and Export
Refine your prompt, adjust parameters, and generate variations. Download the final video with embedded audio — no post-processing required.

Use Cases
What You Can Create with Sora 2 & Sora 2 Pro
From social content to professional workflows, see how creators and teams are using AI video generation across industries.
Short Films & Narrative Content
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.
Marketing & Advertising
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.
Sports & Action Visualization
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.
Film Pre-Visualization
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Sora 2 & Sora 2 Pro.
What is Sora 2?
Sora 2 is OpenAI's second-generation AI video generation model, released September 30, 2025. It generates videos up to 20 seconds at 720p with native audio (dialogue, SFX, ambient sound, and music produced in the same pass as the video), accurate physics simulation, and coherent multi-shot storytelling. It is approximately 3× faster than Sora 1.
What's new in Sora 2 compared to Sora 1?
The biggest additions are native audio generation (Sora 1 had no audio), significantly improved physics accuracy, multi-shot narrative coherence, and a 3× speed improvement (from ~5 minutes to ~90 seconds per generation). Sora 2 also handles complex motion scenarios — like Olympic gymnastics or paddleboard backflips — that were beyond Sora 1's capabilities.
What resolution does Sora 2 output?
Sora 2 outputs at 720p (720×1280 portrait or 1280×720 landscape) at 24 fps. For 1080p output and longer durations up to 25 seconds, Sora 2 Pro is the higher-tier option.
How does Sora 2 generate audio?
Sora 2 generates speech, ambient sounds, music, and sound effects natively alongside the video — not as a post-processing step. Dialogue is lip-synced to character mouth movements with phoneme-level accuracy. You don't need to add audio separately; it's produced in the same generation pass.
How accurate is Sora 2's physics simulation?
Sora 2 models real-world physics with substantially higher fidelity than prior video generation models. It handles buoyancy, rigid-body dynamics, and complex athletic motion accurately. Notably, it also simulates realistic failure states — if a physics scenario would realistically fail, the model shows that rather than forcing an implausible success.
What is the difference between Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro?
Sora 2 Pro outputs at 1080p (vs 720p), supports up to 25 seconds (vs 20 seconds), and delivers enhanced cinematic fidelity — sharper textures, smoother motion, richer color depth, and stronger narrative control. Sora 2 Pro takes longer to render due to higher quality processing. Sora 2 is the faster, more accessible tier; Sora 2 Pro is production-ready for commercial and marketing use.
How fast does Sora 2 generate videos?
Sora 2 generates a 20-second video in approximately 90 seconds — about 3× faster than Sora 1, which took around 5 minutes. This speed improvement makes iterative workflows practical.
What aspect ratios does Sora 2 support?
Sora 2 supports landscape (16:9, 1280×720) and portrait (9:16, 720×1280) aspect ratios at 720p resolution.
Can I use Sora 2 for commercial projects?
Yes. Videos generated on Vofy can be used for commercial purposes including advertising, social media marketing, and client work. Check the Vofy terms of service and OpenAI's usage policies for full licensing details.
How does Sora 2 compare to Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0?
Sora 2 leads on physics accuracy and native audio generation. Kling 3.0 is strong in motion quality and cinematic camera control. Seedance 2.0 offers the most flexible input system (up to 12 reference files across text, image, video, and audio) and cross-shot character consistency for multi-shot narratives. The best choice depends on your workflow: Sora 2 for physics-heavy or audio-driven content, Seedance 2.0 for complex multi-reference productions.
