Sora 2 Pro is the highest-fidelity video model on Martini, making it the best choice for music video visuals where every frame needs to look cinematic. It supports up to 15-second clips — long enough to cover full verse or chorus sections — and offers clarity control to balance quality against generation speed. The upgrade from base Sora 2 is significant: sharper detail, more consistent motion, and better temporal coherence across longer clips.
A music video is a sequence of 5-15 second shots, not one continuous generation. Map your song structure — verse, chorus, bridge, outro — and plan a visual concept for each section. Each Sora 2 Pro clip can be up to 15 seconds, so a 3-minute song needs roughly 12-15 clips. Plan each shot as a standalone cinematic moment that connects to the overall narrative.
Describe mood, camera movement, lighting, color palette, and visual metaphor — not just the subject. "A dancer moves through a rain-soaked city at night, neon reflections bleeding on wet asphalt, slow-motion dolly following from behind, moody blue and magenta color grading, 35mm anamorphic lens." Each prompt should read like a shot description from a real music video treatment.
Standard clarity generates faster and costs less — use it to test concepts, find the right camera angles, and iterate on visual ideas. Once you're happy with a shot's composition, regenerate it in High clarity for the final cut. High clarity produces noticeably sharper detail in textures, lighting, and faces.
Place each Video node on the Martini canvas alongside your Audio node (Suno V5 for generated music, or upload your own track). The Storyboard variant (Sora 2 Pro Storyboard) supports multi-scene generation with consistent visual style across shots — ideal for maintaining a coherent look throughout a music video.
Abstract visual for electronic/ambient music — works because there's no narrative to track, just texture and color in motion. Sora 2 Pro's physics simulation makes the metallic liquid look physically real rather than CG.

Cinematic narrative shot for emotional/indie music — the "anamorphic lens flare" and "steady tracking shot" push Sora 2 Pro toward film-grade cinematography. This type of contemplative wide shot is a music video staple.

Always use High clarity for final music video shots. Music videos are watched fullscreen — any quality shortcut is visible.
The Storyboard variant maintains visual consistency across multiple shots. Use it to generate a sequence of clips that share the same character, setting, or color palette.
For abstract visuals (excellent for EDM, ambient, experimental), focus on textures, materials, and color transitions rather than narrative. Sora 2 Pro renders abstract physics beautifully.
15-second clips align well with typical verse and chorus lengths. Plan your shots to match your song's phrasing.
Sora 2 Pro produces the highest visual fidelity of any video model on Martini. The 15-second max duration covers most musical phrases. For a full music video, plan 12-15 clips and assemble them. The Storyboard variant helps maintain visual consistency across the sequence. The model generates silent video — pair it with Suno V5 for generated music or upload your own track.
