Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Sora 2 API different from other video generation APIs?
Sora 2 API uses OpenAI's Sora 2 model with Transformer and Diffusion architecture. Sora 2 API generates videos with synchronized audio including dialogue and sound effects. The model processes multiple video frames together, ensuring subject consistency throughout the video. Physics-accurate motion makes generated videos more realistic than earlier text-to-video models.
How long can videos be with Sora 2 API?
Sora 2 API can generate videos up to 60 seconds in length. Shorter videos between 10-20 seconds typically produce the best quality results. The Sora 2 model maintains subject consistency and physics accuracy better in shorter duration videos. Longer videos may require more processing time.
Does Sora 2 API generate audio automatically?
Yes. Sora 2 API generates synchronized audio as part of the video creation process. Sora 2 API produces dialogue that matches character mouth movements and sound effects that align with visual actions. The audio generation module is integrated with the video generation pipeline for automatic synchronization.
What video styles can Sora 2 API create?
Sora 2 API supports multiple visual styles through text prompts. You can generate photorealistic videos, animated sequences, cinematic shots, and stylized content. Sora 2 API allows control over camera angles, lighting, composition, and motion speed. The model handles diverse scenes from action sequences to calm landscapes.
How does Sora 2 API ensure physics accuracy?
Sora 2 API uses Sora 2's enhanced physics modeling capabilities. The model includes constraints for gravity, momentum, collisions, and object interactions. Sora 2 API was trained to recognize and maintain physical consistency across video frames. This reduces unrealistic movements like objects floating or sudden position changes.
Can I control specific aspects of video generation with Sora 2 API?
Yes. Sora 2 API provides control over style, motion, camera work, and composition through detailed prompts. Sora 2 API accepts parameters for video resolution, frame rate, and duration. Advanced users can specify lighting conditions, camera movements, and scene transitions. The model's steerability allows fine-grained control over output characteristics.
What programming languages work with Sora 2 API?
Sora 2 API supports REST API calls compatible with any programming language. Common implementations use Python, JavaScript, Node.js, Go, and Java. The Sora 2 API uses standard HTTP requests with JSON payloads. Code examples and SDKs are available for rapid integration into existing applications.
How does Sora 2 API maintain subject consistency?
Sora 2 API leverages Sora 2's multi-frame processing architecture. The model views multiple frames simultaneously during generation, not sequentially. This foresight capability allows Sora 2 API to track subject appearance, position, and characteristics across the entire video. The Transformer architecture enables long-range temporal dependencies for consistency.
What are the technical requirements for Sora 2 API?
Sora 2 API requires a valid API key and internet connection for requests. Sora 2 API handles all computation on cloud infrastructure, so no local GPU is needed. Applications should handle video file downloads and storage. API responses return video data in standard formats like MP4 with audio tracks.
Can I use Sora 2 API for commercial video production?
Yes. Sora 2 API is available for commercial use through authorized API access. The Sora 2 API suits content creation, advertising, pre-visualization, and social media applications. Generated videos can be used in commercial projects. Check the current terms of service for specific usage rights and attribution requirements.
