Sora 2

Cinematic text-to-video with industry-leading long-range coherence and physics.

Sora 2 is OpenAI's second-generation video model, released in October 2025. It produces up to 10-second clips at 1080p with best-in-class long-range coherence and physics — single shots of a glass shattering, a ball bouncing, or characters interacting over time. On Oakgen a 10-second 1080p Sora 2 clip costs about 640 credits (~$2.45).

How to use Sora 2

1
Write for physics
Sora 2's strength is simulating physical interaction. Prompts like 'a glass falling off a table and shattering on the floor' produce realistic broken-glass trajectories.
2
Specify camera movement
Sora handles camera language well — 'slow dolly forward', 'handheld tracking shot', 'orbit around the subject'.
3
For audio, pair with a TTS pass
Sora 2 is silent. For narrated clips, generate video with Sora 2 and dialogue with ElevenLabs v3 in a separate step, then combine in Oakgen's editor.
