Sora 2 Text-to-Video Pro

Sora 2 Text-to-Video Pro is OpenAI's premium text-to-video model. Describe any scene in natural language — AI renders it into a cinematic, high-resolution video with physics-aware motion, temporal consistency, and optional multi-character support. Compared to the standard version, Pro delivers higher fidelity output, broader resolution choices, and enhanced motion coherence for production-grade results.
