Strengths
Sora 2 generates richly detailed video from text prompts, producing 4-20 second clips with coherent motion and world consistency.
Animates a still image into a moving clip, turning a reference frame into video while preserving its content.
Generates audio synchronized to the video, so each clip arrives with matching sound from a single request.
Supports clip lengths from 4 up to 20 seconds, among the longest single-pass durations available.
Renders at 720p resolution, well suited to social, web, and preview-quality video.
Optimized for quicker turnaround than the Pro tier, making it practical for iterating on prompts and producing volume.

Sora 2 API: OpenAI AI video with synced audio
Sora 2 is OpenAI's video generation model, producing richly detailed 4-20 second clips with synced audio from text prompts or images at 720p. It is known for strong world consistency, natural motion, and audio that matches the action.
Through YepAPI you generate Sora 2 videos with one API key on the media queue endpoint at $0.20 per second of generated video, with both text-to-video and image-to-video supported.
What is Sora 2?
Sora 2 is OpenAI's text-to-video generation model. From a text prompt or a starting image, it creates richly detailed clips of 4 to 20 seconds at 720p resolution, with synchronized audio generated alongside the visuals. Sora 2 is recognized for its strong physical and world consistency — objects, characters, and scenes behave coherently across the shot — and for natural camera and subject motion. It supports portrait and landscape aspect ratios and is tuned for relatively fast generation, making it a versatile choice for creators who want long, sound-equipped clips without the cost of the Pro tier.
Build with Sora 2 via YepAPI
Generate video by submitting a text or image prompt to the YepAPI media queue with a single API key, then poll the job and download the finished MP4 with audio included. The asynchronous queue runs the rendering, so your application just enqueues requests and collects completed clips. The same key reaches Sora 2 Pro and every other video model in the catalog, letting you start on Sora 2 and upgrade specific renders to higher fidelity without changing credentials or integration code.
Sora 2 API pricing — Per-second: $0.20/sec (720p)
Sora 2 is billed at $0.20 per second of generated 720p video. A 10-second clip therefore costs about $2.00, and a full 20-second clip around $4.00, with audio included at no extra charge. You pay only for the footage you generate, so short tests are inexpensive, and one YepAPI balance covers Sora 2 alongside every other model on the platform.
Sora 2 for social video with sound
Sora 2 is a strong fit for longer social clips, narrative shorts, and concept videos where synced audio and world consistency carry the result. Its 4-20 second range and portrait/landscape support cover vertical feeds and widescreen alike, while fast generation makes it practical to iterate on prompts. Image-to-video lets you animate existing stills into moving, sound-equipped clips, ideal for bringing key art or product shots to life.
