60s 1080p with audio
Generates minute-long 1080p clips with synchronised audio from a single prompt.
OpenAI's text-to-video model — 60-second 1080p clips with synced audio.
Sora 2 is OpenAI's text-to-video model, released in October 2025. It generates 60-second 1080p clips with synced audio from a text prompt, with consistent characters across shots and prompt-based scene editing.
It is aimed at creative and marketing work — concepting, pre-visualisation, and social content — rather than factual or precise technical output. Generation is compute-heavy, so turnaround is measured in minutes, not seconds.

1080poutput with synced audioCreative output, not ground truth. Generated video can hallucinate details and is unsuitable for factual, technical, or evidentiary use.
Generation takes minutes. Each clip is compute-heavy, so it is a production tool, not a real-time one.
Content and likeness limits apply. Policies restrict certain content and the use of real people’s likenesses; review terms before commercial use.
Up to 60 seconds of 1080p video with synchronised audio from a single prompt.
