Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using Sora 2 on ClipCanva

How long can Sora 2 videos be?
Sora 2 can generate videos up to 20 seconds per generation. You can create longer sequences by chaining multiple generations together using story continuation.
Can I edit videos after generation with Sora 2?
Yes, Sora 2 supports video-to-video editing. Upload your generated video and use text prompts to modify specific elements, change styles, extend scenes, or alter backgrounds without starting from scratch.
Does Sora 2 handle text and typography in videos?
Sora 2 can generate legible text overlays, signs, and labels in videos. Complex typography may require post-processing for best results, but simple text and signage render clearly.
What makes Sora 2 different from Veo 3.1 and Kling 2.6?
Sora 2's key differentiator is its deep understanding of physics and 3D space, plus the longest clip duration at 20 seconds. Veo 3.1 is fastest (30-60s) with best camera control. Kling 2.6 is the most budget-friendly at 40 credits. Choose Sora 2 for storytelling and narrative content.
Why use Sora 2 through ClipCanva instead of OpenAI directly?
ClipCanva is an independent platform and not an official OpenAI product page. It combines Sora 2 with Veo 3.1, Kling 2.6, and other models in one workspace so you can switch models, compare outputs, and manage credits in one place.
How much does Sora 2 cost?
Sora 2 costs 80 credits per video generation on ClipCanva. Start with 400 credits for $9.90 — no subscription needed. While it uses more credits than other models, the 20-second duration and physics quality deliver unmatched value for narrative content.
Can I use Sora 2 videos commercially?
Commercial use depends on the ClipCanva terms that apply to your account and the relevant model or provider policies. Review those terms before using generated videos in ads, client projects, product launches, or monetized content.
Will my videos have watermarks?
Paid plan videos are delivered without ClipCanva watermarks. Commercial use is still governed by ClipCanva terms and the relevant model or provider policies.
