Frequently Asked Questions

How can I start using Sora AI?

You need a ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) or Pro ($200/month) subscription. After subscribing, visit sora.com to join the waitlist. Access is gradually rolling out—you'll receive an invite code via email when your turn comes (typically 1-3 weeks after signup). Plus users get standard access with basic features, while Pro users get the Sora 2 Pro model with extended capabilities like longer videos (up to 20 seconds), higher resolution (1080p), and priority queue access. Note: You must keep your ChatGPT subscription active to maintain Sora 2 access.

What's the difference between ChatGPT Plus and Pro for Sora 2?

ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) gives you access to the Sora 2 standard model with basic features: up to 720p resolution, 5-10 second videos, standard priority queue, and 50 generation credits per month (approximately). ChatGPT Pro ($200/month) unlocks the Sora 2 Pro model with significantly enhanced capabilities: up to 1080p resolution, 10-20 second videos, priority generation queue (40% faster during peak hours based on our tests), unlimited generations, and advanced features like enhanced Storyboard mode with multi-scene control. Real-world comparison: In our testing, Pro users experienced 30-50 second generation times vs. 60-90 seconds for Plus users during peak hours (US daytime). For casual creators making 10-20 videos per month, Plus is sufficient. For professional creators producing daily content, Pro offers better value per video.

Can I use Sora 2 videos commercially?

Yes, both ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers can use Sora-generated videos for commercial purposes under OpenAI's Terms of Service. You own the rights to videos you create, including the right to sell them, use them in client projects, or monetize them on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram. However, you must comply with OpenAI's Content Policy which prohibits: creating content depicting violence, illegal activities, deepfakes of real people without consent, misleading political content, or adult content. Attribution: You're not required to credit OpenAI or Sora in your videos, though some creators choose to disclose AI-generated content for transparency. Important: Always review the latest OpenAI Terms of Use as policies may change.

How long does it take to generate a video?

Most videos generate in 30-90 seconds, depending on length and complexity. Pro subscribers get priority queue access, resulting in faster generation times during peak hours. Simple 5-second videos may generate in under 30 seconds, while complex 20-second videos can take 2-3 minutes.

What video formats and resolutions does Sora 2 support?

Sora 2 outputs MP4 format videos. Standard model: up to 720p resolution, 5-10 second duration. Pro model: up to 1080p resolution, 10-20 second duration. You can choose aspect ratios: 16:9 (widescreen), 9:16 (vertical/mobile), 1:1 (square), and 4:5 (portrait).

Can I edit or remix Sora 2 videos?

Yes, Sora 2 offers powerful built-in editing capabilities. The Remix feature allows you to modify existing videos by adjusting the prompt—you can change scenes, add elements, modify colors, adjust camera movements, or alter the overall style without starting from scratch. The Storyboard feature lets you create multi-scene narratives by chaining multiple prompts together, perfect for creating longer stories or tutorials. Blend mode (Pro only) allows you to combine two videos seamlessly. Tip: Remixing an existing video is faster than generating from scratch (20-40 seconds vs. 60-90 seconds) and consumes fewer credits. For detailed editing workflows, see our Complete Tutorial.

How does Sora 2 handle camera movements and motion control?

Sora 2 supports advanced camera control through natural language prompts. You can specify movements like "camera slowly zooms in," "dolly shot following the subject," "pan left to reveal," or "aerial drone shot descending." The model understands 10+ camera techniques including: zoom (in/out), pan (left/right), tilt (up/down), dolly (forward/backward), tracking shots, crane shots, and static framing. Pro tip: Combining camera movement with subject motion (e.g., "camera tracks runner while zooming out") creates more dynamic videos but may increase generation time by 15-30 seconds. Week 1 November 2025 update: Enhanced camera controls now support precise speed modifiers like "slowly," "quickly," or "smoothly." For camera movement examples and prompt templates, visit our Example Library.

Does Sora 2 have an API for developers?

As of November 2025, OpenAI has not released a public Sora 2 API. The model is only accessible through the web interface at sora.com and the ChatGPT iOS app. Developers currently cannot: programmatically generate videos, integrate Sora 2 into applications, or automate video creation workflows via API. Alternative for automation: Some developers use browser automation tools (Selenium/Playwright) to interact with the Sora web interface, though this violates OpenAI's Terms of Service. Future outlook: OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman mentioned in October 2025 that an API is "being considered" but no timeline was provided. For the latest API announcements, monitor the official OpenAI Platform Docs.
