OpenAI positions Sora 2 Pro as its more advanced, higher-quality synchronized-audio video model. APIXO also gives the Pro route two output tiers, including larger dimensions that are not part of its standard Sora 2 route.
Video GenerationSynced AudioTwo Output Tiers
Sora 2 Pro is OpenAI’s higher-quality Sora 2 video-and-audio model for detailed short scenes with synchronized sound. APIXO maps its route directly to sora-2-pro, exposing text-to-video and single-image-conditioned generation across two output tiers, with 4-, 8-, or 12-second durations.

Capabilities
Detailed audiovisual generation for directed short scenes
Higher-Fidelity Output
OpenAI distinguishes Sora 2 Pro through higher-quality generation, while APIXO exposes both 720p and higher-resolution output tiers for workflows that need additional visual detail.
Synchronized Scene Audio
The Sora 2 family generates video and audio together, including speech, environmental ambience, and sound effects designed to correspond with the action on screen.
Physical Scene Handling
Sora 2 improves physical behavior over earlier systems, helping actions, collisions, and environmental responses read more plausibly without guaranteeing flawless physics or anatomy.
Temporal Scene Continuity
Improved world-state handling supports more persistent objects and scene conditions across a clip, although complex interactions and rapid changes can still introduce continuity errors.
Multi-Shot Direction
Detailed prompts can describe multiple shots, actions, camera changes, and transitions, giving creators more control over compact narrative sequences and visual pacing.
Broad Visual Range
Sora 2 Pro can produce realistic, cinematic, anime, and other stylized scenes while interpreting instructions for framing, atmosphere, camera movement, and overall visual treatment.
Generation Modes
Two workflows with mode-specific output controls
Text-to-Video with Explicit Dimensions
Submit a prompt, duration, and size. APIXO assigns 720*1280 and 1280*720 to its 720p tier, while 1024*1792 and 1792*1024 use its higher-priced 1080p tier.
Text to Video
Image-to-Video with Resolution Selection
Submit a prompt and exactly one publicly accessible reference-image URL, then select 720p or 1080p. The image provides visual conditioning but is not documented as a guaranteed unchanged first frame.

Use Cases
Production workflows suited to Sora 2 Pro
Campaign Production
Detailed Advertising Scenes
Generate short campaign concepts that combine directed action, camera movement, dialogue, ambience, and sound effects. The higher output tier can support review assets where additional image detail matters.
Visual Development
High-Resolution Previsualization
Explore shot composition, blocking, lighting, physical action, and camera paths before filming or animation. Treat outputs as creative studies requiring review rather than exact production simulations.
Still Animation
Animate Premium Key Art
Condition a new video on one product image, poster, illustration, or concept frame. Allow for interpretation because exact identity, typography, composition, and product geometry are not guaranteed.
Narrative Media
Stylized Audiovisual Shorts
Build concise realistic, cinematic, anime, or illustrative sequences in which scene direction and generated sound originate from the same prompt-led workflow.
Notes & FAQ
Operational guidance for Sora 2 Pro
Integration Notes
01
APIXO maps this route directly to OpenAI model ID sora-2-pro, separate from standard sora-2.
02
OpenAI currently labels Sora 2 Pro as Legacy and lists it as Deprecated. OpenAI says the Sora API will be discontinued on September 24, 2026, while APIXO currently continues to document this route.
03
APIXO labels 1024×1792 and 1792×1024 as its 1080p billing tier. These exact dimensions differ from the 1080×1920 and 1920×1080 tier exposed through OpenAI’s direct API.
04
APIXO supports asynchronous polling or callback delivery and returns the final MP4 URL through resultJson. It documents no audio toggle or watermark-removal field for this route.
05
Typical APIXO processing is 2–5 minutes for 4- or 8-second videos and 3–6 minutes for 12-second videos; first polling is recommended after 120 seconds, then every 5–10 seconds.
06
APIXO documents neither a result-retention period nor failed-generation refund behavior for this route, so store successful outputs promptly and do not assume reimbursement.
Frequently Asked Questions
APIXO’s detailed documentation lists $0.30 per second for 720p and $0.50 per second for 1080p. Cost equals the selected rate multiplied by duration: $1.20–$2.00 for 4 seconds, $2.40–$4.00 for 8 seconds, or $3.60–$6.00 for 12 seconds.
APIXO exposes no audio setting. The model generates synchronized scene audio, but the route documents no sound-disable switch, uploaded-audio input, dialogue field, pronunciation control, or source-audio preservation option.
APIXO documents only text-to-video and single-image-to-video. Storyboard, remix, recut, looping, blending, continuation, extension, editing, video-to-video, character cameos, and multiple image references are not exposed on this route.
No watermark-removal field is documented for Sora 2 Pro. Applications should not assume that visible watermarks or C2PA provenance metadata can be removed through this route. APIXO also exposes no seed, negative prompt, camera preset, safety-level, or output-count field.
