Sora 2 is the next-generation text-to-video AI model from OpenAI. It can generate high-quality, realistic videos from simple text prompts, with better motion consistency, scene understanding, and visual detail compared to the original Sora.

Sora 2 is built to understand how the physical world works. This helps it create longer, more coherent videos where characters, objects, lighting, and camera movement stay consistent across scenes.

Key Features

• Advanced text-to-video generation
  Create cinematic-quality videos directly from text prompts.

• Improved temporal consistency
  Objects, characters, and environments stay stable across frames.

• Longer video generation
  Supports longer and more complex scenes than earlier models.

• Strong world understanding
  Better handling of physics, motion, and real-world interactions.

• Creative control
  Supports detailed prompts for camera angles, styles, lighting, and pacing.

How to Use Sora 2

1. Access Sora 2 through OpenAI’s supported platforms.

2. Write a clear text prompt describing the scene, action, and style.

3. Adjust settings such as video length or visual style if available.

4. Generate the video and review the output.

5. Iterate by refining the prompt for better results.

Sora 2 is designed mainly for creators, filmmakers, and product teams.
