Capabilities

What's new in Sora 2 Pro.

The tier for final masters

Pro renders the same scenes as Sora 2 at noticeably higher fidelity, with an HD resolution option, built for the shot that actually ships.

Two quality settings

Standard or high resolution per request. Draft at standard, then flip one parameter for the HD master, no prompt changes needed.

Realism, dialogue, and sound

Everything Sora 2 does, believable physics, lip-synced dialogue, scene-matched sound, rendered at the family's highest quality.

Flat per-clip pricing

From 150 credits ($1.50) per clip depending on duration and resolution. Predictable unit costs for storyboarded, sign-off-driven work.

Quickstart

How to call the Sora 2 Pro API.

Use cases

What teams build with Sora 2 Pro.

Final masters

The HD tier is for the shot that ships: hero spots, title sequences, and anything that will be watched full-screen rather than in a feed.

Premium brand film

Flat per-clip pricing at the highest Sora fidelity keeps budgeting simple for storyboarded campaigns where each shot is planned in advance.

Product beauty shots

Start from a product still and generate high-fidelity motion around it, the extra resolution pays for itself in fine surface detail.

Draft cheap, master in Pro

Iterate on base Sora 2 at a third of the price, then re-run the winning prompt on Pro. Same API, one parameter change.

Reviews

9,800+ developers. One API.

Real Apiframe reviews from Trustpilot and G2.

Seamless experience, excellent support

Just created 6 videos and the experience has been seamless. Wanted to write a review for appreciation — the customer support has also been excellent. They helped me in some process I was stuck in.

Vaibhav Sharma July 2026 Trustpilot

Stable, easy image & video generation

I like that I can generate images and videos without complicated setup. It works stable and is easy to use even if you are not a big developer. It saves me time and makes the whole process much simpler.

Anakin S. July 2026 G2

Honestly the best AI API

They got every engine possible and it's great to have them all in one place.

Sora 2 Pro questions

What teams ask before shipping with Sora 2 Pro. Everything else lives in the docs.

When should I use Sora 2 Pro instead of Sora 2?

Iterate on Sora 2, it is roughly a third of the price, and re-run the winning prompt on Pro for the final render. The prompt carries over unchanged; only the model id differs.

What does Sora 2 Pro cost on Apiframe?

Flat per-clip pricing from 150 credits (≈$1.50) to 938 credits (≈$9.38) depending on duration and the standard/HD setting. Credits are prepaid and never expire.

What resolutions are available?

Two quality tiers, standard and high, in 16:9 or 9:16, at 4 to 15 seconds per clip. The HD tier is the highest-fidelity output in the Sora family.

Can I start from an image?

Yes. Pass a start image and Pro locks the opening frame to it, useful for keeping products and characters exactly on-model in the final master.

How long do generations take?

Around 4 minutes on average, slower than base Sora 2, as expected for the higher fidelity. Jobs are async with webhooks, so nothing blocks while it renders.
