Sora 2

Sora video generation is OpenAI's text-to-video AI technology that creates realistic videos from written descriptions. The Sora 2 model uses advanced AI to process text prompts and produce corresponding video content with synchronized audio. Unlike traditional video creation, which requires cameras and editing software, the Sora AI video generator produces complete scenes from simple text inputs—automatically handling everything from visual elements to audio.

OpenAI Sora 2 is currently available through limited access on sora.com and the Sora app for iOS, with gradual rollout and API access planned for future release. While you can access Sora 2 directly through OpenAI's platform, VEED's AI playground lets you test Sora 2 alongside other leading video models in one place—no juggling multiple accounts or waiting for separate access approvals.

Sora 2 and Veo 3 both offer native audio generation, but serve different needs:

• Sora 2 excels at short-form content with multi-shot storytelling, lip-synced dialogue, and fast generation—ideal for social media and quick creative projects
• Veo 3 delivers longer clips with cinematic quality and up to 4K resolution—better suited for professional productions and detailed storytelling Test both models in VEED's AI playground to compare quality for your specific project needs.

Sora pricing varies based on access method. Direct access through sora.com and the Sora app follows OpenAI's pricing structure. On VEED's AI playground, you can test the Sora 2 AI video generator using credit-based plans that cover multiple models—making it easy to compare Sora 2, Veo 3, and other models in one place.

Be specific and descriptive in your text prompts. Include subject details, setting, actions, visual style, camera movements, lighting, and desired audio elements. The Sora AI video generation tool responds well to detailed instructions about physics—describe how objects should move, interact, or react to forces. Avoid negative phrasing, such as "don't" or "no." Instead, focus on describing precisely what you want the OpenAI Sora video generation system to create.

Generation time with the Sora 2 AI video generator varies based on video length, complexity, and server load. Most text-to-video generation tasks are completed within minutes. The Sora 2 web interface and VEED's playground let you manage multiple generation requests simultaneously. While the Sora AI video generation tool processes one video, you can prepare additional prompts or test different AI models to maximize efficiency.
