Sora 2 Video Generation Animation

How to use reference images for product videos and understanding animation limitations for human subjects.

Core Principles of Image-to-Video

This feature is specifically designed to animate existing images so they 'flow' into a video. The AI uses your uploaded image as the starting point and continues with logical movement from that specific frame.

Human Subject Limitations

Currently, Sora 2 has restrictions where you cannot use reference images containing real human faces or bodies to be processed into videos.

Editing Tips

Occasionally, Sora 2 will display the original static image as the first frame before transitioning into a different animation. For a more seamless result, it is recommended to remove that first frame during post-production.
