Made with this app
How it works
Sora 2 by OpenAI generates physically believable AI video from a text prompt or a starting image, producing clips between 4 and 20 seconds at 720p. It is built for creators who need scenes that obey real-world physics, follow complex prompt directions accurately, and move with natural fluidity. Whether you are prototyping a short film, visualizing a product concept, or exploring motion-based storytelling, Sora 2 delivers coherent results without requiring any video editing background.

What you can make
Short Film Prototyping
Directors and screenwriters can sketch scene sequences before committing to production budgets. Sora 2's strong prompt understanding translates detailed shot descriptions, lighting notes, and character actions into coherent 20-second clips that communicate intent to collaborators and clients.
Physics-Driven Product Visualization
When a product needs to be shown interacting with the real world, such as a bottle filling with liquid or a shoe flexing underfoot, Sora 2's physical realism keeps materials, gravity, and collisions believable throughout the clip, making concepts easier to sell internally.
Image-to-Video Animation
Supply a still photograph or illustration as a starting frame and describe the motion you want. Sora 2 animates from that image with natural movement, giving photographers and illustrators a way to extend their static work into motion without separate compositing software.
Social Content Storyboarding
Content teams can test narrative ideas at 720p before investing in full production. A 4-to-20-second window covers the core beat of most social formats, letting strategists confirm pacing and visual tone before handing a brief to a production crew.
Educational Scenario Illustration
Instructional designers can generate physically accurate demonstrations, such as how a gear system turns or how water flows through a pipe, to support explainer videos. Sora 2's adherence to real-world physics makes it a reliable tool for content where accuracy matters.
Prompt ideas to try
- A glass sphere rolling down a wet cobblestone street at dusk, gathering speed as it curves toward a storm drain, shot from ground level.
- An astronaut in a worn spacesuit floats slowly through a derelict greenhouse module, dried plant husks drifting past the porthole windows, natural ambient light.
- A border collie leaps over a wooden fence in slow motion, ears back, fur rippling, landing in tall golden grass on a late afternoon hillside.
- Close-up of a candle flame in a drafty stone room, light flickering across rough-cut walls, wax pooling and spilling over the edge of the holder.
- A chef slides a cast-iron pan across a gas flame, vegetables tossing in the air and falling back, steam rising against a dark kitchen background.
- Time-lapse of storm clouds building over a mountain ridge, shadows racing across the valley below, ending on a single bolt of lightning over the peak.

Tips for better results
Describe Physics Explicitly
Sora 2 excels at physical realism, so name the forces and materials at work. Specify that glass is heavy, that cloth is thin, or that water is moving fast. The more precisely you describe physical conditions, the more accurately the model renders them.
Use Duration to Shape Pacing
The 4-to-20-second range lets you control narrative rhythm. Short clips work for a single action beat; longer clips suit multi-stage motion sequences. Decide the duration before writing your prompt so you can pace events across the full window rather than crowding them.
Anchor Motion with a Starting Image
When exact visual style, subject appearance, or environment details matter, supply a reference image alongside your text prompt. Sora 2 accepts an optional image input, which grounds the generated motion in a specific visual reality that pure text cannot fully specify.
Write Camera Intent into the Prompt
Include shot type, camera angle, and movement in your description. Phrases like 'handheld close-up,' 'slow dolly forward,' or 'overhead static shot' steer Sora 2's strong prompt understanding toward the specific cinematic framing you have in mind.
When to choose this app
Choose Sora 2 when physical believability and precise prompt fidelity are the priorities. Sora 2 Pro delivers maximum fidelity at true 1080p for final-quality output, so Sora 2 at 720p is the practical choice for iterative development and concept work where cost efficiency matters. Seedance 2.0 brings native audio synthesis to its clips, which Sora 2 does not offer, so if synchronized sound is essential from the start, that app serves a different need. Pika 2.2 focuses on stylized aesthetics across seven aspect ratios; Sora 2 is the better fit when photorealistic, physics-grounded motion takes precedence over visual style variety.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a photograph as the starting frame for my video?
Yes. Sora 2 accepts an optional image input alongside your text prompt. Upload your photograph or illustration, describe the motion you want, and the model animates forward from that visual starting point while respecting the content and lighting of the original image.
What is the maximum clip length Sora 2 can produce?
Sora 2 generates clips from 4 to 20 seconds. You choose the duration before generating. Longer clips are useful for multi-stage sequences or slower narrative builds, while shorter clips suit punchy single-action moments.
Does Sora 2 include audio or music in its output?
No. Sora 2 produces video without native audio synthesis. If synchronized sound or music generation is important to your project, sibling apps such as Seedance 2.0, which includes native audio synthesis, may better match that requirement.
How detailed should my text prompt be for the best results?
Sora 2 has strong prompt understanding, so detailed prompts tend to produce more accurate results. Describe the subject, environment, lighting, camera angle, and any relevant physical properties. Vague prompts leave more to interpretation, which can result in output that drifts from your intent.
What resolution does Sora 2 output, and is a higher resolution option available?
Sora 2 renders at 720p. If your project requires higher fidelity, Sora 2 Pro is the sibling app that delivers the same model at up to true 1080p with maximum fidelity, suited to final-quality deliverables rather than iterative development.
Is Sora 2 well-suited to scenes with complex physical interactions?
It is one of the model's core strengths. Sora 2 is designed for physical realism, meaning it handles scenarios like liquid pouring, cloth moving in wind, or objects colliding with greater believability than models that prioritize stylization over physical accuracy.
Which AI model powers this app?
This app runs on Sora 2, available through Arteza with no separate account or setup.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes. Content you generate is yours to use, subject to our content licenses.
How long does a generation take?
Most generations finish in under a minute, and you can watch progress live in the gallery.
