What is Sora AI? Sora is OpenAI's AI video generation model that creates realistic videos from text prompts. Sora 2 features world-accurate physics simulation, native synchronized audio, and photoreal visual fidelity — making professional video production accessible without filming equipment or editing software. Sora 2 is currently unavailable on Sunra — for the same native-audio, photoreal workflow, use Veo 3.1 in Sunra's AI video generator.
Sora 2 understands gravity, contact, and object permanence. Characters interact with their environment without the glitches that give earlier models away. Pour water and it splashes realistically; drop an object and it bounces with accurate weight. This physics-accurate simulation is what sets Sora 2 apart when you need to create cinematic footage that feels filmed, not rendered.
Dialogue, SFX, and ambience render together with the video — locked to on-screen action, not mixed in afterward. Footsteps land when feet touch ground, doors slam when they shut. For dialogue-driven scenes, the audio-visual sync rivals dedicated voice tools.
Sora 2 sets the current bar for texture fidelity. Pores, weave, hair strands, specular highlights — the detail that makes a shot feel real. Upload a product photo or portrait and Sora 2 can bring still images to life while preserving every fine detail from the source.
Three input modes, all first-class. Your composition intent survives into the final frame instead of being 'interpreted'. Animate a reference photo to keep exact framing, or write a detailed prompt and let the model compose. Use the spatial creative workspace to compare results across input modes side by side.
Sora 2 generates at 1080p resolution with smooth 24 fps motion. The output is sharp enough for full-screen playback, social-first 9:16, and broadcast pre-viz — no upscaling step required.
Generate clips up to 12 seconds — long enough for a product reveal, a dialogue beat, or a complete social ad. Chain generations in Flow to build longer scenes while keeping character and style consistency.
Choose between 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 aspect ratios to match your delivery platform. Generate directly in the right format via text-to-video — no cropping in post.
Sora 2 is currently unavailable on Sunra. Go to Sunra Video and select Veo 3.1 from the model dropdown — the closest native-audio, photoreal alternative. No OpenAI account required, with free daily credits.
Write a detailed prompt covering subject, environment, lighting, and camera movement. For precise framing, upload a reference image — Sora 2 will use it as the first frame or style anchor. Try image-to-video mode for product shots and portraits.
Click Generate and wait for the clip to render. Review the physics, audio sync, and texture fidelity. Refine your prompt — or switch aspect ratio between 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 — and regenerate.
Sora 2's photoreal texture and world simulation make it the go-to for single hero shots — product reveals, lifestyle scenes, and cinematic openers. Native audio means the spot ships without a separate sound-design pass.
Generate 9:16 clips purpose-built for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Sora 2's physics and lighting realism makes AI-generated content indistinguishable from filmed footage at social-media resolution. Scale production with the AI video generator.
Upload a product photo and Sora 2 animates it into a cinematic reveal — pouring, unboxing, rotating — with physically accurate material behavior. Fabric drapes, glass refracts, and liquid splashes the way they should.
Translate a script page into moving footage before committing to a shoot. Sora 2's world simulation gives directors and investors a visual reference that reads like real footage, not a rough animatic.
