Sora 2
OpenAI's Sora 2: realistic visuals with synchronized audio — and face uploads that put you or your cast in the scene.
What is Sora 2?
Sora 2 brought OpenAI's video line into the audio era: visuals are generated together with synchronized dialogue, ambience and effects, so a finished clip sounds complete as well as looks complete. Its physical realism — weight, materials, believable failure — set the standard its peers are measured against.
Its most distinctive feature on DreamDance is face support: upload a face and the model can place that person into generated scenes with their identity intact. That single capability turns Sora 2 from a footage generator into a casting tool — put yourself, a presenter, or a recurring character into any scenario you can describe.

Synchronized audio
Dialogue, ambience and effects generated with the picture, in sync from the start.

Physical realism

Prompt Examples
Copy any of these straight into the workspace.
[Face upload: your photo] You sit at a rooftop bar at sunset and raise a glass to camera: "To new beginnings." City hum below, wind gust, warm golden light, medium close-up.
A stack of ceramic plates slides off a counter and shatters on tile in slow motion, each shard catching kitchen light. Static camera, crisp impact audio, natural reverb.
What Sora 2 Is Best For
- Realistic scenes with dialogue that must sound right
- Cameos and personal content via face upload
- Physics-sensitive action and everyday realism
- Premium work that cannot justify Pro render times

Sora 2 FAQ
How does the face upload work?
Upload a clear photo of the person in the Sora 2 workspace, then reference them in your prompt. The model preserves their likeness across the generated scene — a cameo tool, not a photo edit.
What is the difference between Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro?
Same family, different render budgets. Pro adds headroom for the most complex scenes and the most authored looks; standard Sora 2 delivers the family's realism and audio at a friendlier cadence.
How long does a generation take?
On DreamDance, Sora 2 averages a bit over three minutes per generation.
How much does it cost?
Generation costs credits that vary by model, resolution and duration. DreamDance plans start at $19.99/month with 1,999 credits — see the pricing page for details.
