Sora 2 Remix (V2V)
Remix an existing Sora-2 generation by its video_id. Provide a new prompt to alter motion, style, or details while preserving structure. Only Sora-produced videos are eligible.
Sora guideVerified
OpenAI's video model. Premium narrative quality with strong temporal coherence — characters and props stay consistent across the clip. Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro are the available tiers.
Strengths
- Best temporal coherence in the field — subjects don't morph between frames.
- Storytelling beats: cause-and-effect, before-and-after, complex compositions hold together.
- Long context: handles narrative prompts ("first X happens, then Y") well.
- Storyboard mode (openai-sora-2-pro-storyboard) chains multiple scene cards.
- Native audio on Sora 2 Pro variants.
Weaknesses
- Slower than Veo Fast or Kling Standard — generation can take minutes.
- Premium pricing tier — burn rate adds up quickly.
- Less explosive action than Kling — Sora prefers contemplative pacing.
- Stylization (anime, painterly) is OK but not its strength.
Best for
- Narrative shorts — clips that tell a beginning/middle/end
- Character-centric scenes where identity must hold across shots
- Product reveals that need a clear story arc
- Premium client work where quality > speed
Avoid for
- Bulk drafting / iteration (use Kling Standard or Seedance Lite)
- Heavy stylization
Prompting tips
- Write in NARRATIVE order — Sora interprets time better than other models.
- Use "then", "as", "while" to chain cause-and-effect within a single clip.
- For character consistency, describe the person ONCE in detail at the top, then refer to them as "the woman" / "the boy".
- Storyboard variant: write each card as its own complete scene; Sora handles the transitions.
Parameters
- video_idstringThe video_id from a previous Sora 2 generation. Note: You can only remix videos that were generated by Sora (via text-to-video or image-to-video endpoints), not arbitrary uploaded videos.
- delete_videobooleanWhether to delete the video after generation for privacy reasons. If True, the video cannot be used for remixing and will be permanently deleted.default: true
