The Sora 2 Pro API at 1080p is what we ship to clients — the basic tier is for internal previews.
The Sora 2 Pro API is the higher-fidelity tier of OpenAI Sora 2 text-to-video — adds 1080p output (1024×1792 / 1792×1024 portrait/landscape) on top of the standard 720p. The Sora 2 Pro API renders 4 / 8 / 12-second clips with synchronized audio and physics-aware motion through one REST endpoint, priced 5% below the official published Sora 2 Pro rate.

The Sora 2 Pro API is the higher-fidelity tier of OpenAI Sora 2 text-to-video — adds 1080p output (1024×1792 / 1792×1024 portrait/landscape sizes) alongside the standard 720p. The Sora 2 Pro API renders 4 / 8 / 12-second clips with synchronized audio, physics-aware motion, and broader stylistic range — all through one REST endpoint.
Pricing on the Sora 2 Pro API is 5% below the official published rate: $1.14 at 4s/720p (default), scaling up to $5.70 at 12s/1080p. Audio is synthesized in the same call — no separate TTS pass. The Sora 2 Pro API uses one RouterBase key — no provider-specific SDKs.
Six reasons teams ship on the Sora 2 Pro API
From 1080p output to physics-aware motion — what the Sora 2 Pro API gets right.
Natural-language video
Describe the scene in plain English; the Sora 2 Pro API renders a 4 / 8 / 12-second clip from the prompt — no storyboard, no timeline editing.
1080p + non-standard sizes
The Sora 2 Pro API adds 1080p output (1920×1080) and 1024×1792 / 1792×1024 sizes for portrait or wide-format scenes — useful for hero banners and vertical reels.
Synchronized audio
The Sora 2 Pro API generates audio inside the same call — voice, ambience, foley already aligned to the rendered motion. No separate TTS pass.
Physics-aware motion
Improvements over the original Sora plus a step up in fidelity from the basic tier — the Sora 2 Pro API renders collisions, cloth, water, and crowd dynamics with notably fewer artifacts.
4 / 8 / 12-second clips
Pick the duration per Sora 2 Pro API call (4s default). Per-clip pricing scales linearly with duration (8s = 2× 4s, 12s = 3×); pick the shortest length that tells the story.
5% off the official list
Pay 5% less than the official published Sora 2 Pro rate when calling through the Sora 2 Pro API. $1.14 at 4s/720p, $5.70 at 12s/1080p — flat 5% saving across every cell of the matrix.
Quickstart
Get started with the Sora 2 Pro API in 3 steps
From sign-up to your first Sora 2 Pro API call in under 5 minutes.
Create a RouterBase API key
Sign up and generate sk-rb-… — one key works for the Sora 2 Pro API and 200+ other models.
POST to the Sora 2 Pro API endpoint
Send a prompt in JSON with your chosen `duration` and `size`. The Sora 2 Pro API is async — RouterBase polls upstream until the render completes (typically 1–4 minutes), then returns a signed URL with the audio-aligned clip.
Inspect the result
Each Sora 2 Pro API response includes generation metadata for auditing and a render URL ready to embed in your product.
Pay only for what you use
RouterBase passes through partner-tier pricing. Compared against the model's official published API rate.
| Resolution | RouterBase |
|---|---|
| 720p 4s | $1.200 |
| 1080p 4s | $2.000 |
Your request will cost $1.200 per run (720p).With $1 you can run this model approximately 1 times.
What teams build with the Sora 2 Pro API
Real production loads running on the Sora 2 Pro API and the RouterBase model catalog.
We swapped three providers through RouterBase in one line of code when OpenAI had its outage. Our users never noticed.
The Sora 2 Pro API handles cloth simulation and crowd scenes that the basic tier blurs over — necessary for our broadcast-quality renders.
Synchronized audio at 1080p, no post-processing pipeline required — the Sora 2 Pro API is one less moving part.
The Sora 2 Pro API's 1024×1792 portrait is exactly what I needed for vertical reel content — landscape Sora outputs cropped poorly.
RouterBase puts 200+ models behind one key. Our research team stopped asking for new provider accounts.
The Sora 2 Pro API at 4s/720p $1.14 is our default sampling tier; we promote to 1080p once a creative direction is locked.
We migrated 42 services to RouterBase over a weekend. The only PR comment we got was 'wait, that's all?'.
The Sora 2 Pro API is 5% below the official list at every duration / resolution — predictable per-clip cost makes capacity planning straightforward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Sora 2 Pro API.
The Sora 2 Pro API is RouterBase's pass-through to the higher-fidelity tier of OpenAI Sora 2 text-to-video. Adds 1080p output and 1024×1792 / 1792×1024 sizes, with the same physics-aware motion and synchronized-audio generation as the basic tier. Routed through RouterBase.
