Using Sora 2 in DaVinciDreams

Using Sora 2 in DaVinciDreams starts in the AI Script Generator wizard, where you select it as your video model during step one. The generator then creates text prompts optimized for Sora 2 for every clip in your screenplay. Alternatively, you can select Sora 2 directly in the editor workspace when adding or regenerating individual clips. Each generation request goes through the PiAPI API and returns a video clip that appears immediately in your asset panel and on the timeline. If you have your own PiAPI API key, the BYOK system uses it automatically — bypassing credit deduction and saving up to 40% compared to platform credits. The webhook system and fallback polling ensure reliable delivery even under high API load.
