Describe the scene vividly; choose action for dynamic tones or peace for calm ambiances. Example: A sorceress summoning a gentle breeze in a tranquil forest.
Add an image URL for added visual guidance. Useful for inspiration or aligning with specific imagery.
Choose video length; 4s for brief intros, 12s for detailed scenes. Select based on video intent.
Allowed values:
Adjust video dimensions; portrait suits mobile, landscape suits presentations. Choose based on target platform.
Allowed values:
To keep track of your credit usage, you can inspect the response headers of each API call. The x-remaining-credits property will indicate the number of remaining credits in your account. Ensure you monitor this value to avoid any disruptions in your API usage.

Everything you need to know to get the most out of Sora 2 Pro
# Sora 2 Pro
Sora 2 Pro is OpenAI’s advanced AI video generation model, turning text descriptions and image references into cinematic-quality video clips. Use this guide to optimize prompts, tailor parameters for different scenarios, and unlock the full potential of Sora 2 Pro.
## 1. Crafting Effective Prompts
• Be descriptive and concise: include key elements (characters, setting, mood).
• Specify motion dynamics: “gentle breeze” vs. “roaring waterfall.”
• Mention camera angles or movements: “slow pan from left to right,” “bird’s-eye view.”
• Define lighting and color tone: “warm sunset glow,” “cool, misty morning.”
Example prompt:
“A steampunk airship soaring above a neon-lit city at dusk, camera tilting upward as golden lanterns glow.”
## 2. Choosing Video Duration
• 4 seconds: quick intros, logo reveals, social media teasers.
• 8 seconds: standard ads, short narrative scenes, product highlights.
• 12 seconds: detailed storytelling, complex choreography, multi-shot sequences.
## 3. Selecting Output Size
• Portrait (720×1280, 1024×1792): optimal for mobile stories, TikTok, Instagram Reels.
• Landscape (1280×720, 1792×1024): ideal for YouTube, websites, presentations.
• Match resolution to platform and distribution channel to avoid cropping or pillarboxing.
## 4. Adding Image References
• Provide an image URL to align visual style, color palette, or design motifs.
• Use reference for product demos, brand assets, character consistency.
• Combine with a detailed prompt to guide composition and mood.
## 5. Sample Parameter Sets
**Marketing Campaign**
• Duration: 8 s • Size: 1792×1024 (landscape)
• Prompt: “A futuristic product reveal on a sleek stage, dynamic lighting reveals the device in 3D rotation.”
**Social Media Teaser**
• Duration: 4 s • Size: 720×1280 (portrait)
• Prompt: “Vibrant smoothie pouring into a glass, slow-motion splash, bright afternoon kitchen.”
**Educational Explainer**
• Duration: 12 s • Size: 1280×720 (landscape)
• Prompt: “Layered diagram of the water cycle, animated clouds forming rain over mountains, smooth camera zoom.”
## 6. Pro Tips
• Use simple drafts, then iterate by adding detail or adjusting style.
• Align duration to narrative complexity: avoid cramming too much into 4 s.
• Test different resolutions to ensure clarity on target devices.
• Combine physics simulations (e.g., particles, fluids) in prompts: “sparks raining down” or “rippling water.”
Leverage Sora 2 Pro’s advanced rendering, audio sync, and dynamic simulation to produce polished, engaging videos tailored to your creative vision.
