API README

Sora 2 Image To Video PRO

Sora 2 Image To Video PRO is the Sora 2 route for pro, turning the documented source inputs into a production-ready result while keeping the operation distinct from neighboring endpoints. Sora 2 Pro is OpenAI's image-to-video AI model. Bring static images to life with fluid animation, consistent character motion, and professional-grade video output. The workflow is designed for creators who need the model’s specific transformation to remain visible in the request, so the source, intended change, and finished artifact can be reviewed as one coherent creative decision.

In practical use, this route exposes image, prompt, duration, resolution, aspect_ratio, character_ids to shape the exact deliverable. Those controls let a team preserve the important source constraints, state subject behavior or material treatment precisely, choose supported timing or output characteristics, and reproduce successful settings across alternate takes. The result fits an iterative pipeline: establish the core brief, compare controlled variations, then pass the selected asset into editorial, design, localization, visualization, or publishing work.

Highlights

Route-specific creation. Use this exact route for pro with its documented input contract. This capability belongs to the exact openai/sora-2/image-to-video/pro workflow.
Scene continuity. Maintain subjects, environments, and motion across the generated or remixed shot.
Directable cinematography. Express action, camera movement, framing, pacing, and visual tone in the prompt.
Resolution and timing choices. Select the documented duration and delivery format appropriate to this Sora 2 route.

When to Use

Scenario	Why it fits
Exact workflow fit	Choose this route when the required deliverable is pro, rather than a related route with different source media.
Directed creative iteration	Use it when subject, motion, material, speech, framing, or finish should be expressed explicitly and compared across controlled variants.
Existing-asset continuity	Use it when supplied images, video, audio, references, or styles must remain the anchor for the generated result.
Repeatable production	Use it when successful inputs need to be saved and rerun across a campaign, asset set, localization pass, or batch.
Pipeline handoff	Use it when the returned artifact will move into editorial, compositing, visualization, review, storage, or publishing.

Prompt Guide

Start with the source or subject, then describe the intended transformation, movement or behavior, camera and composition, and the desired finish. Keep media URLs reachable, use only fields documented for this exact route, and change one major control at a time when comparing results. For source-led tasks, describe what should change as well as what must remain recognizable.
