Sora 2 is gone — what replaces it for ads?
OpenAI shut down the Sora 2 API on 24 September 2026. Reviral's pick for product ads is Seedance 2.5: clips up to 30 seconds from up to 30 reference pictures of your product, from 122 credits for 30 seconds at 720p (about $1.52 at the $4.99 Mini Pack rate). For creator-style ads, the UGC studio makes a 15-second ad for 160 credits at 480p (about $2.00). Checked 24 September 2026. Pay by card, or in ringgit (RM) with Touch 'n Go eWallet for credit packs or Visa/Mastercard for monthly plans.

How do I move a Sora ad prompt?
Step 1: keep the brief (product, hook, shot list, length and sound plan).
Step 2: re-make one shot on Seedance 2.5 and check the product, motion and sound.
Step 3: when that shot passes, make the rest.
Renderforest's Sora guide (updated September 2026) maps the same jobs: directed multi-shot work to Seedance 2.5, speaking characters to Kling 3.0, cinematic shots with audio to Veo 3.1; on Reviral the 24-credit Veo 3.1 Fast option has no sound.
