Overview
What is Sora 2 Pro?
Sora 2 Pro is a OpenAI model available in Starpop. Most advanced synced-audio video generation with higher resolution support. OpenAI’s higher-resolution Sora option for polished hero shots, cinematic sequences, and audio-aware video production.
Use the Pro variant after a concept is established and the output needs additional resolution or a more presentation-ready finish. Starpop keeps the model, input mode, duration, format, resolution, and credit choices in one workspace so a team can move from a first test to a publishable asset without rebuilding the brief in another tool.
