Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Sora 2
What makes Sora 2 different from other AI video models?
Sora 2 excels at producing cinema-quality video with natural physics and realistic motion. It understands how light works, how objects interact, and how cameras move in real productions. This results in footage that looks professionally shot rather than AI-generated.
How long does Sora 2 take to generate a video?
Sora 2 typically generates a 10-second video in 1-3 minutes, depending on complexity. Longer 15-second clips may take slightly more time. The generation happens asynchronously, so you can continue working while your video renders.
Can I use Sora 2 with a reference image?
Yes, Sora 2 supports image-to-video generation. Upload a reference image and Sora 2 will animate it, maintaining the visual style and content of your original image while adding natural motion and depth.
What aspect ratios does Sora 2 support?
Sora 2 supports 16:9 (widescreen, ideal for YouTube and presentations) and 9:16 (vertical, perfect for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts).
How many credits does Sora 2 cost?
Sora 2 uses a simple fixed pricing model: 2 credits for a 10-second video and 3 credits for a 15-second video. This makes it the most cost-effective model on Kensa for high-quality cinematic footage.
