  • Video extension: continue a completed clip to build longer scenes[^2]

Resolution and orientation

  • Sora 2: 720p portrait (720x1280) and landscape (1280x720)[^2]

Duration

  • Up to 20 seconds per generation (4, 8, 12, and 16-second presets supported)[^2]

Audio (Sora 2 Pro)

  • Synchronized speech, sound effects, and ambient soundscapes[^2]

Character and scene consistency

  • Non-human character upload (mascots, animals, objects) for multi-clip consistency[^2]

Rapid prototyping and concepting Sora 2's speed makes it the right tool for exploring tone, structure, and visual style before committing to full production. Spin through multiple directions in a single session.[^2]

Social media content Short-form social posts demand fast turnaround over maximum fidelity. Sora 2 at 720p covers this workflow well, keeping per-second costs lean.[^2]

Cinematic marketing assets When a client deliverable or hero video needs polished, high-resolution output, Sora 2 Pro at 1024p is the correct choice. Physics-accurate motion and synchronized audio come included.[^2]

Brand and mascot animation Upload a reusable non-human asset, such as a mascot, animal, or product object, and reference it consistently across multiple clips. Character consistency keeps brand visuals coherent across a full campaign.[^2]

Long-form scene continuation Video extension lets you continue a completed clip and assemble longer beats. Chain generations to build full spots up to 20 seconds per generation pass.[^2]

FAQ

Sora 2 / Sora 2 Pro FAQs

How much does Sora 2 cost per second on Coinis vs. OpenAI direct vs. fal.ai?

On Coinis, Sora 2 (720p) is $0.17/sec and Sora 2 Pro (720p) is $0.51/sec. OpenAI direct Standard tier charges $0.10/sec and $0.30/sec respectively for the same tiers. fal.ai lists Sora 2 at $0.30/sec for 720p. Coinis undercuts fal.ai by 43% on the standard tier while giving you unified billing across all models on the platform.

What is the difference between Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro, and which should I use?

Sora 2 (720p at $0.17/sec on Coinis) is optimized for speed. Use it for rapid concepting, rough cuts, and social content where turnaround matters more than maximum fidelity. Sora 2 Pro delivers more polished, stable output with synchronized audio, physics-accurate motion, and higher resolutions up to 1024p. Choose Pro when producing cinematic marketing assets or client deliverables where visual precision is critical.

Is the Sora 2 API really being discontinued in September 2026?

Yes. OpenAI confirmed the Sora web and app experience was retired on April 26, 2026, and the Sora API (including sora-2 and sora-2-pro) will be shut down on September 24, 2026. If you are building a production integration, plan your migration timeline now. Coinis offers alternative video models including Google Veo 3, Runway Gen-4, and Kling 2 when you need to move off Sora.

What resolutions and clip lengths does Sora 2 support?

Sora 2 generates at 720p in portrait (720x1280) and landscape (1280x720). Sora 2 Pro adds 1024p portrait (1024x1792) and landscape (1792x1024). Both models support durations of 4, 8, 12, and 16 seconds, up to 20 seconds per generation.

Can Sora 2 generate videos of real people or copyrighted characters?

No. The Sora API blocks generation of real people including public figures, copyrighted characters, and copyrighted music. Human face uploads for image-to-video conditioning are also rejected by default. All generated content must be suitable for audiences under 18. Plan your content accordingly before integrating.

Does Sora 2 support image-to-video and character consistency?

Yes. Image-to-video conditioning lets you supply a JPEG, PNG, or WebP as the first frame of a clip. The input image must match the target video resolution. Character consistency lets you upload reusable non-human subjects (mascots, animals, objects) and reference them across multiple generations for consistent multi-clip campaigns. Human likeness uploads are blocked.

How do I access the Sora 2 API through Coinis?

Sign up for a Coinis account and navigate to the video model catalog. Select Sora 2 or Sora 2 Pro, configure your prompt, resolution, duration, and optional first-frame image, then call POST /v1/video/generate with your chosen model parameter. The API is asynchronous. Poll the returned job ID or set up a webhook to receive the completed MP4. Download your file within 1 hour of completion. Full reference documentation is available on the Sora 2 API sub-page.
