Sora 2 Pro — OpenAI video via one API surface

Sora 2 Pro

OpenAI's flagship video model

Sora 2 Pro is OpenAI's newest text-to-video and image-to-video model. Strong narrative coherence, physics-aware motion, and high-fidelity output at 1080p.

Text-to-Video

Cinematic generation from prompts

sora-2-pro-t2v produces short cinematic clips from text prompts with strong subject consistency, camera work, and prompt adherence.

Image-to-Video

Animate a still

sora-2-pro-i2v takes an input image plus an optional motion prompt and animates it into a coherent short clip.

One API Key

No OpenAI account needed

Call Sora 2 Pro via the ModelsLab REST API. No OpenAI API account, no separate billing, no waitlist — one ModelsLab key for every video model.

Pricing

Transparent per-clip rates

Sora 2 Pro on ModelsLab is priced per clip with no monthly commitments. Every new account gets free credits to test before scaling.

Production Ready

Stable inference

ModelsLab handles retries, timeouts, webhook callbacks, and queue management so your code doesn't have to.

Webhooks

Async callbacks

Pass a webhook URL and ModelsLab POSTs the completed MP4 URL to your endpoint when generation finishes — essential for long-running clip generation.

SDKs

Python & JavaScript

Official SDKs wrap every video endpoint including Sora. REST + OpenAPI spec for autogenerated clients.

Examples

FAQ

Common questions about Sora 2 API — OpenAI Video via REST

Read the docs

Sora 2 is OpenAI's flagship text-to-video and image-to-video model. On ModelsLab you access Sora 2 Pro variants via a single REST endpoint — no OpenAI API account or waitlist required. Cinematic 1080p output with physics-aware motion.

Sora 2 Pro on ModelsLab uses transparent per-clip pricing with no monthly commitments. Every new ModelsLab account receives free credits to test both text-to-video and image-to-video variants before picking a paid plan.

No. ModelsLab routes Sora 2 through a single REST API — you only need a ModelsLab API key. No separate OpenAI billing, no waitlist, no regional restrictions. One key, one bill.

Use sora-2-pro-t2v for text-to-video and sora-2-pro-i2v for image-to-video. Both endpoints share the same authentication and request envelope — only the model_id and input parameters differ.

Yes. Call sora-2-pro-i2v with an input image URL and an optional motion prompt. Sora animates the still into a cinematic clip while preserving the subject and composition of the source image.

Each Sora 2 API call produces up to 5-10 seconds of 720p or 1080p video. For longer sequences, chain multiple calls at scene boundaries and stitch the clips together — a common pattern for 30-60s social videos.

Yes. Every new ModelsLab account gets free credits on signup — no credit card required. Enough to test both sora-2-pro-t2v and sora-2-pro-i2v before committing to a paid plan.

Yes. Pass a webhook URL in the request body and ModelsLab POSTs the completed MP4 URL to your endpoint when generation finishes — essential for long-running generations and batch jobs.

Sora 2 excels at narrative coherence and physics. Kling 3.0 leads cinematic motion realism. Veo 3.1 excels at photorealism. Runway Aleph is purpose-built for video editing (not generation). All four are available under one ModelsLab API key — route per use case.

Yes. The ModelsLab Python SDK wraps every video endpoint including Sora 2 Pro. REST + OpenAPI spec for autogenerated clients in any language.
