Audio-First Video Generation
Sora 2 Pro breaks from traditional silent video generation by synthesizing audio alongside visual content. Dialogue lip-syncing, environmental sounds, and ambient audio emerge from the same text prompt that describes the scene.
What this means for you:
-
Synchronized dialogue generation: Characters speak naturally with accurate lip-sync to match emotional tone and scene context, no separate audio track required
-
Environmental audio integration: Ambient sounds (wind, traffic, footsteps) generate contextually based on visual elements described in your prompt
-
Extended temporal coherence: 25-second maximum duration maintains visual and audio consistency across longer narrative arcs than standard 4-10 second models
-
Flexible duration control: Generate 4, 8, or 12-second clips for rapid iteration, or push to 25 seconds for complete scene development
