Sora generation has ended: plan the next version of your project
Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro were discontinued on September 24, 2026. New generations are unavailable. Review saved work and plan a replacement workflow. OpenAI and Replicate both list the retirement. This page remains available for people arriving from older project links. A QuestStudio subscription does not restore access to a discontinued provider. Existing job records remain available; verify that each saved output is still accessible and keep a local copy of work you need.
| Creative job | Start with | Decision rule |
|---|---|---|
| Continue a project with saved clips | Inventory before regenerating | List which approved shots already work, which need replacement, and which audio or reference files you still own. Replace only the missing or rejected shots; do not assume another model will recreate an old seed. |
| Produce a new shot | Compare current Video Lab options | Choose by required input, motion, audio, duration and the quote shown for that setting. Start with a short representative shot. A model that accepts the same prompt does not necessarily support the same references or produce the same result. |
| Repair an existing clip | Plan a local repair first | Decide whether trimming, replacing a cutaway, or regenerating a short segment can solve the visible defect. Keep an approved original and compare the edit at normal speed and frame by frame. |
A controlled workflow that wastes fewer generations
- Save the approved output, source prompt, reference files, model name and known settings in one project folder. A job record alone is not an export backup.
- Describe the replacement as one observable shot: a fixed camera watches a blue ceramic cup rotate one quarter turn on a white table. Record the cup shape and camera position as acceptance criteria.
- Select an available model with the required input mode. Recheck duration, aspect ratio, audio behavior and current allowance before confirming a new generation; old Sora rates do not price the replacement.
- Compare continuity at the edit points, product identity, motion and any dialogue. Record rejected attempts as well as the selected clip. Expand the workflow only after the test meets the brief.
Questions before you generate
Can I still generate a new Sora 2 video here?
No. Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro were discontinued on September 24, 2026. QuestStudio blocks new requests for those retired models. Choose a currently available model for new work.
Does upgrading my QuestStudio plan restore Sora?
No. The provider retirement applies regardless of your QuestStudio plan. Review current models and their inputs before buying access for a particular project.
What happens to my old Sora jobs?
Existing job records are retained. Check each output and download files you need; the existence of a record does not guarantee indefinite availability of a provider-hosted asset.
Will another model reproduce my Sora clip exactly?
No exact reproduction is promised. Keep the original as a reference, translate the visual requirements, and evaluate a small test before rebuilding the full project.
