sora2-pro is the Pro tier of OpenAI’s Sora 2. The increments over sora2: up to 30 seconds per clip, 1080p as default, stronger subject persistence across the clip (less character drift), better long-take camera dynamics. Per-second cost is the highest in the video lineup. The right pick when clip duration and consistency matter — a 30-second product story rather than a 5-second loop. Pricing: $0.30 / second of generated footage — see the rate card. Failures don’t bill; per-second pricing applies to the generated footage length.

When to use

  • Hero clips ≥ 10s — product story, brand reel, anywhere clip duration shows up in the brief.
  • Subject consistency required — a character that has to stay recognizable for the whole shot.
  • Final marketing-spend creative — budget per clip is a smaller line than the model fee on a one-off campaign asset.
