Sora 2 Pro
OpenAI's premium video tier. Sora 2 Pro generates at full 1080p resolution with clips up to 12 seconds and always-on audio — the highest quality output in the Sora 2 family.
What is Sora 2 Pro?
Sora 2 Pro is the professional tier of OpenAI's second-generation video model. It extends Sora 2's core capabilities — always-on audio, cinematic output quality, multi-aspect-ratio support — with two significant upgrades: full 1080p resolution and clip durations up to 12 seconds.
The 1080p ceiling makes Sora 2 Pro the appropriate choice when output will be shown at scale — on large screens, in professional presentations, in broadcast-quality ad placements, or anywhere full HD fidelity is expected. At lower resolutions, the quality difference may be imperceptible, but for professional delivery, 1080p matters.
12 seconds of runtime is a meaningful increase over shorter-format models. It's enough to include a scene setup, a main action, and a resolution — the complete narrative arc for a short ad spot, a product demo, or an explainer intro. Combined with always-on audio, Sora 2 Pro delivers production-ready output in a single generation pass.

Best use cases
Broadcast-quality ad spots
15-second and 30-second TV ad formats demand 1080p fidelity. Sora 2 Pro's resolution ceiling makes it the appropriate model when output will appear in broadcast or large-format digital placements.
Premium brand video
Brand films, hero videos, and premium content productions require the highest available quality. At 1080p with up to 12 seconds, Sora 2 Pro delivers what the audience expects at the premium end of brand marketing.
Complete narrative shorts
12 seconds gives you room for a complete narrative arc — setup, action, resolution. Combine with always-on audio to deliver a finished short without post-production assembly.
Film and advertising pre-visualization
High-resolution pre-vis that production teams can actually evaluate. Sora 2 Pro's 1080p output is close enough to final delivery quality that pre-vis doubles as rough cut material.
Example prompts
These prompts make use of Sora 2 Pro's longer runtime and full HD resolution.
"A luxury car emerges from a mountain tunnel onto a coastal cliffside road at sunrise — a 12-second cinematic wide shot that begins inside the tunnel and ends as the car crests the hill against a golden sky, engine audio throughout."
"A chef plates the final element of a fine dining dish in a Michelin-star kitchen — close-up hands, precision motion, ambient kitchen sounds fade into quiet focus. Slow push-in throughout, 10 seconds."
"Brand film opener: a lone figure stands at the edge of a cliff overlooking fog-filled valleys at dawn. They turn to camera as the mist begins to lift — 8 seconds, wide to medium, natural ambient audio."
