OpenAI Sora 2 — Image-to-Video

Turn a single reference image into a coherent video clip with synchronized audio. Built on Sora 2’s core advances, the image-to-video pipeline preserves identity, lighting, and composition while synthesizing believable motion and camera dynamics.

Why it looks great

  • Identity lock-in: preserves faces, style, textures, and scene layout from the reference image.
  • Parallax & depth hallucination: infers 3D structure for convincing foreground/background separation.
  • Physics-aware motion: contact, inertia, and secondary motion (hair, cloth) behave naturally.
  • Temporal consistency: minimal flicker/ghosting with stable subject features across frames.
  • Smart background extension: clean inpainting beyond the original frame for wider moves.
  • Cinematic camera moves: subtle pans, push-ins, arcs, and handheld vibes without warping.
  • Synchronized audio: optional voice/ambience that matches on-screen action and pacing.
  • Strong steerability: prompt edits and controls (duration, fps, motion strength) produce predictable changes.

How to Use

  1. Upload a single reference image (PNG/JPEG).
  2. Add a short prompt for mood, motion style, or camera behavior.
  3. Duration: choose 4s, 8s, or 12s.
  4. Submit the job; preview and download the result.

Billing Rules: Linear pricing at $0.10/s. Available durations are 4s, 8s, and 12s.

Notes

  • Best results come from high-resolution, clean source images with clear subjects and lighting.
  • For big perspective shifts, start with shorter durations or lower motion strength, then iterate.
  • Ensure you own the rights to your image; outputs inherit input content constraints.
  • Please follow the user rules from OpenAI, you can find details in the reference: What images are permitted and prohibited in Sora-2
