Sora2 AI FAQ: 15 Most Asked Questions Answered
Published on October 2, 2025
1. What is Sora2 AI?
Sora2 AI is a text-to-video model developed by OpenAI that generates realistic and imaginative videos from text prompts. It can create clips up to 60 seconds long with high resolution and physical accuracy.
2. How do I get access to Sora2 AI?
As of October 2025, access is limited to select users. You can join waitlists at OpenAI or through platforms like Sora2ai.dev that are preparing to integrate the model once publicly available.
3. How much does Sora2 AI cost?
Official pricing hasn't been announced. Based on similar AI models, expect subscription tiers ($20-$100/month) or pay-per-generation models. Educational and non-profit discounts may be available.
4. How long can generated videos be?
Sora2 AI can generate videos up to 60 seconds long, significantly longer than competitors like Runway (18 seconds) or Pika (3 seconds).
5. What is the video quality?
Videos can be generated at 1080p resolution with high frame rates. Quality is comparable to professional stock footage in many cases.
6. Can I use Sora2 AI videos commercially?
This depends on your licensing tier. Early indications suggest commercial use will be permitted for paid subscribers, but check the terms of service for your specific access level.
7. What data was Sora2 AI trained on?
OpenAI has been cautious about revealing training data specifics. It likely includes a mix of licensed stock footage, public domain videos, and proprietary datasets. OpenAI has stated they respect copyright and work with content creators.
8. Are generated videos watermarked?
Yes, OpenAI includes C2PA metadata to identify AI-generated content. This metadata can be read by compatible tools and platforms to ensure transparency.
9. Can Sora2 AI generate videos of real people?
Generating videos of identifiable real people (celebrities, public figures) is restricted to prevent misuse. The model focuses on fictional characters and generic human representations.
10. Does Sora2 AI understand audio?
Currently, Sora2 AI focuses on visual generation. Audio is not generated alongside video, but OpenAI has hinted at future multi-modal models that could include audio.
11. Can I edit or extend generated videos?
While the model itself generates fixed-length clips, you can use traditional video editing software to trim, combine, or enhance them. OpenAI is exploring tools for iterative editing.
12. What are the current limitations?
Main limitations include:
- Occasional physics errors (especially complex interactions)
- Challenges with text rendering in scenes
- Subtle facial expression inconsistencies
- High computational requirements
13. Is Sora2 AI safe from misuse?
OpenAI has implemented safety measures including:
- Content filters to block harmful or inappropriate requests
- Watermarking and metadata tracking
- Limits on generating public figures
- Red-teaming and ongoing safety research
14. Will Sora2 AI replace video creators?
No. Sora2 AI is a tool, not a replacement. It augments creative work by handling technical execution, but human creativity, storytelling, and editorial judgment remain essential.
15. What's next for Sora2 AI?
Future developments likely include:
- Longer video generation (beyond 60 seconds)
- Higher resolutions (4K+)
- Audio-visual synchronization
- Interactive editing tools
- Real-time generation
