Which model generates the longest video?

Sora 2 generates up to 15 seconds in a single generation, with fixed 10s and 15s options.

Is 15 seconds with multi-shot better than 20 seconds single-shot?

It depends on your use case. Seedance 2.0's 15 seconds with multiple shots and transitions can tell a richer story than 20 seconds of a single continuous shot.

Can I combine clips for even longer videos?

Yes. Generate multiple clips and combine them in your editor. Use consistent prompts and reference images for visual continuity.
