Key Insights

Sora 2's Advantage in Visual Consistency

Sora 2 can maintain original elements from a photo (such as building structures) while adding new dynamic elements with realistic physics—for example, a 'wobble' effect on a bicycle when it is touched by a subject.

Ideal for Small Business Owners

This workflow is highly beneficial for small business owners to produce high-quality, creative social media content without having to hire professional video editors or invest in expensive camera equipment.
