Sora 2 has retired.

Retired on 22 September 2026. VisionX no longer routes shots to Sora 2 or Sora 2 Pro.

01

What Sora 2 was on the roster

THE MODEL

Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro ran on VisionX as guest engines until 22 September 2026. OpenAI shut down its Videos API and both Sora 2 models on 24 September with no replacement, and VisionX took the routes off the roster ahead of that date rather than keep offering shots that could not render.

Shots already rendered on Sora stay in your library with the rest of the campaign. Identity lives in the Cast, not in the model, so the same board line routes to Kling, Wan, Seedance or any other live engine without rebuilding the character.

Your Sora shots stay yours

Every take rendered on Sora 2 or Sora 2 Pro stays in your library, next to the rest of the campaign it was made for.

The Cast carries over

A character is held by the Cast, not by the engine, so a follow-up shot on any family still on the roster renders the same face.

Where to route instead

Veo 3.1 for naturalistic coverage with native audio, Kling for motion, Wan 3.0 for long takes, and Seedance for reference-heavy work.

FAQ

Sora 2, answered

Can I still generate with Sora on VisionX?
No. VisionX retired Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro on 22 September 2026, ahead of OpenAI shutting down its Videos API and both Sora 2 models on 24 September with no replacement. The composer no longer offers either route.
What happens to the shots I rendered on Sora?
They stay in your library with the rest of the campaign. The Cast they were rendered against is unchanged, so a follow-up shot on another engine renders the same character.
What should I use instead of Sora?
Veo 3.1 is the closest route for naturalistic, dialogue-forward coverage with native audio, and it runs in three grades. Kling covers motion-heavy shots, Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.5 run one continuous take up to 30 seconds, and Seedance 2.0 masters at native 4K.

Veo 3.1 runs today.
