What are the available quality options and their differences?

Sora 2 offers two quality tiers: Standard (720p, starting at 40 credits) for rapid prototyping and iteration, and HD (1080p, starting at 80 credits) for final production output. Credits scale with duration — 5s/8s/12s cost 40/65/95 (Standard) or 80/130/190 (HD). Standard quality delivers excellent clarity suitable for social media and previews, while HD provides maximum resolution and detail perfect for professional presentations, client delivery, and commercial use.

Which aspect ratios does Sora 2 support?

Sora 2 supports two optimized aspect ratios: Portrait (9:16) ideal for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, and Landscape (16:9) perfect for traditional video platforms, presentations, and widescreen content. Both formats are specifically tuned for optimal visual composition and platform compatibility.

How long does it take to generate a video with Sora 2?

Generation times vary based on complexity and quality settings. Standard quality videos typically complete within 60-120 seconds, while HD output may take 2-4 minutes depending on scene complexity. Our system uses intelligent queuing to ensure efficient processing during peak times.

Can I use Sora 2 videos for commercial purposes?

Yes, all videos created with Sora 2 can be used commercially including marketing, client projects, and social media. You retain full rights to your content. Note: All content must comply with OpenAI's usage policies. We recommend adding AI disclosure for transparency (e.g., 'Created with AI').

What are the technical specifications?

Sora 2 generates 5-second, 8-second, or 12-second videos. Credit pricing (duration × quality): 5s costs 40 (Standard 720p) or 80 (HD 1080p); 8s costs 65 or 130; 12s costs 95 or 190. Both tiers output at 24fps for cinematic feel. Supports Portrait (9:16) and Landscape (16:9) aspect ratios. Videos are delivered in MP4 format.

What are Sora 2's current limitations?

While Sora 2 excels at most scenarios, it may have challenges with: complex text rendering within videos, certain rapid camera movements, and scenes requiring frame-perfect synchronization. These are areas of active improvement. For best results, use detailed prompts with specific descriptions of camera angles, lighting, and motion.

Real stories from filmmakers, designers, and marketers shipping cinematic AI video with Sora 2 on VidOne.

Sora 2's physics simulation is wild. I tested a beach scene and the water actually behaves like water — waves break, foam spreads, sand kicks up. This used to take days of VFX work.

Marcus L.

Indie Filmmaker

I prototype five scene variations in the time it used to take to draft one. Sora 2 understands cinematic language — say 'dolly in, golden hour' and it just gets it.

Priya R.

Storyboard Artist

Generated four ad variants for an A/B test in under an hour. Sora 2 handled the product close-ups so well our agency thought we'd reshot the campaign.

The HD output is genuinely usable for client delivery. We swapped one of our stock-footage budgets for Sora 2 and saved 60% on our last brand campaign — clients couldn't tell the difference.

My channel's B-roll quality jumped overnight. Sora 2 fills the gaps I couldn't shoot myself — and synced native audio means I'm skipping the sound-design pass entirely.
