Sora 2

OpenAI introduced Sora 2—an important upgrade to the original Sora released in February 2024. It delivers major gains in realism, physical accuracy, controllability, and stylistic range. Sora 2 follows real-world physics more faithfully and keeps a consistent world state across multi-shot scenes.

Sora 2 core capabilities at a glance

1

More realistic physics

Richer simulation of gravity, buoyancy, collisions, and other real-world dynamics.

2

Synchronized audio

Generate voice, ambience, and background music—timed to the visuals.

3

High consistency & multi-shot storytelling

Better adherence to multi-shot prompts, maintaining a coherent world state across scenes.

4

Real-person cameo insertion

Record yourself (or others) and naturally insert the likeness into generated videos—with permission and revocable access.

Physical details & world understanding

Sora 2 can model real-world motion and interaction—buoyancy, rigidity, zero gravity, object permanence, and environment interaction. Trained on massive video data, it develops a stronger understanding of physical rules—moving one step closer to AI that can truly interact with the real world.

Case 1
Prompt
A figure skater lands a triple jump with a cat on their head.
Case 2
Prompt
A gymnast flips on a balance beam, shot with a cinematic look.

Dialogue & audio sync

Sora 2 can produce richer audio scenes—dialogue, ambience, and effects—and align them tightly with the video rhythm. Speech feels more natural, and immersive sound design makes the overall atmosphere more lifelike.

Case 1
Prompt
Two mountaineers in bright technical shells take turns calling out in a snowy landscape, their faces frosted over and eyes narrowed with urgency.
Case 2
Prompt
An underwater diver, with the soundscape of a coral reef.

Long-term consistency & multi-shot storytelling

Sora 2 maintains object permanence and scene continuity in complex multi-shot sequences. Characters, props, and environments stay logically consistent across long sequences and scene changes—reducing accidental distortions or disappearances. It also excels across realistic, cinematic, and anime styles.

Prompt
In a Japanese anime style, a white-haired hero awakens an ancient power. A blue-black flame aura wraps around him as tattoos spread across his face and body—an unfathomably old force finally stirs...

Cameo: seamlessly place real people into scenes

You can now upload a short video and a voice sample to create a personal “cameo” character in the Sora app. Sora 2 learns your appearance and voice, then naturally integrates you into any generated scene—with higher fidelity and more natural behavior.

Prompt
Bigfoot was surprisingly kind to him—almost too kind, in a way that felt a little strange. Bigfoot wanted to play together, but he wanted to play a bit too much.
