-- Sora supports video durations between 1 and 20 seconds.
+- Sora can produce videos between 1 and 20 seconds long.
 - You can request multiple video variants in a single job: for 1080p resolutions, this feature is disabled; for 720p, the maximum is two variants; for other resolutions, the maximum is four variants.
 - You can have two video creation jobs running at the same time. You must wait for one of the jobs to finish before you can create another.
 - Jobs are available for up to 24 hours after they're created. After that, you must create a new job to generate the video again.
+- Up to two images can be used as input (the generated video interpolates content between them).
+- One video up to five seconds can be used as input.
