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
- Upload a single reference image (PNG/JPEG).
- Add a short prompt for mood, motion style, or camera behavior.
- Duration: choose 4s, 8s, or 12s.
- Submit the job; preview and download the result.
Pricing
Duration | Total ($) |
---|
4s | 0.40 |
8s | 0.80 |
12s | 1.20 |
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.
