Sora 2 Pro Text-to-Video

Sora 2 Pro is a cutting-edge text-to-video generation AI model developed for creating high-quality, short video clips directly from textual descriptions. It integrates advanced neural networks with multimodal processing to produce visually rich, temporally coherent videos with synchronized audio.

Technical Specifications

• prompt: Text description of the scene to be generated
• duration: Length of the video clip in seconds
• resolution: "720p" or "1080p"
• aspect_ratio: "16:9", "9:16",  depending on desired video format

Performance Benchmarks

• Total Score: Open-Sora 2.0 achieves a strong total performance score of 83.6, closely trailing the original OpenAI Sora at 84.3. It outperforms competitors HunyuanVideo (83.2), CogVideo (82.2), and Open-Sora 1.2 (79.8).
• Quality Score: Sora 2 Pro leads with a quality score of 84.4, just below HunyuanVideo's top score of 85.5, surpassing CogVideo (85.1), OpenAI Sora (82.8), and Open-Sora 1.2 (81.3).
• Semantic Score: Sora 2 Pro excels in semantic understanding with the highest semantic score of 80.3, outperforming OpenAI Sora (78.6), CogVideo (75.8), HunyuanVideo (79.8), and Open-Sora 1.2 (73.4).

Key Features

• Integrated Audio Synthesis: Unlike many competitors, Sora 2 Pro outputs synchronized natural audio as part of the video
• Physics-Aware Rendering: Models basic physical interactions for more realistic object motion and collisions
• Style & Scene Control: Fine-tune output style and scene components via prompt modifiers
• Multilingual Prompt Support: Handles inputs in multiple languages with consistent performance

API Pricing

• $0.315 per second

Use Cases

• Social media content generation (short films and clips)
• Marketing and entertainment prototyping
• Animation, cinematic storyboarding, and previsualization
• Education and explainer videos
• Experimental art with advanced control over physics and audio
• Audio-visual research and AI benchmarks

Comparison to Other Models

vs Google Veo 3: Sora 2 Pro specializes in polished, short-form clips with highly synchronized audio and enhanced physics for realistic motion, while Veo 3 leads in cinematic video length and intricate camera control, often generating longer and more immersive scenes. Veo 3’s access is more limited, but it pushes boundaries in audiovisual storytelling, whereas Sora 2 Pro is more broadly available and excels in efficiency for rapid content prototyping.

vs HunyuanVideo: Sora 2 Pro leads in semantic video consistency and overall performance, particularly in rendering fidelity and synchronized audio, while HunyuanVideo is competitive in video quality scores and diversity. HunyuanVideo may excel in certain visual details, but Sora 2 Pro consistently delivers stronger prompt adherence and integrated sound for holistic scene creation.

vs Runway Gen‑3: Sora 2 Pro offers synchronized dialogue and sound, physics realism, and strong multi-shot temporal consistency for short-form content, making it ideal for drafts, animatics, and social video creation. In contrast, Runway Gen‑3 provides robust camera/motion editing tools and easy workflow extension, but lacks native audio generation, focusing more on fine motion and style control for creative editing tasks.
