Migration plan
The API shape is identical across all video models — changing themodel parameter is the only code change needed:
Tips
- Sora 2 excels at physical interactions — dominos, water, fabric, collisions.
- Camera language works well — “tracking shot,” “dolly zoom,” “slow motion” are understood.
- 12s is the maximum — for longer videos, generate multiple clips and stitch them.
- Start with Sora 2 for drafts, use Sora 2 Pro for finals.
