Affordable Sora 2 API

Access OpenAI's Sora 2 on Velokey — native video generation with synchronized audio, more physically realistic motion, stronger instruction following, and multi-shot consistency, supporting text-to-video and image-to-video through a unified endpoint and below-list pricing.

Meet Sora 2 and its API access

Sora 2 is OpenAI's flagship video generation model and a major step up from the original Sora. It generates video with synchronized sound — dialogue, speech, and sound effects that match the scene, rather than silent video — while delivering more physically accurate, believable motion and handling complex actions and physics more convincingly. Sora 2 offers stronger steerability and prompt adherence, supports text-to-video and image-to-video, and maintains world state, characters, and objects consistently across multiple shots. Velokey provides an affordable, easy-to-integrate Sora 2 API: a unified video generation endpoint, one API key, and below-list pricing for production creative pipelines, marketing teams, and automation tools.

Synchronized audio

Sora 2 natively generates video with synchronized sound — dialogue, speech, and sound effects that match the scene and align precisely with the visuals, not silent video, for a finished, ready-to-use result.

Synchronized audio

Physical realism

More physically accurate and realistic motion and dynamics, handling complex actions and physical interactions more believably so character movement and scene changes follow real-world laws.

Physical realism

Controllability and instruction following

Stronger steerability and prompt adherence let Sora 2 follow detailed, multi-shot instructions, so complex scripts render composition, camera work, and pacing as intended.

Consistency

Better world state and multi-shot consistency keeps characters and objects consistent across shots, including cameos of real people or objects rendered with their likeness.
