Setup\n\n- Obtain your OpenAI API key from the [OpenAI account dashboard](https://openai.com/api/).\n\n- Replace 'Your_API_Key' in all HTTP request nodes with your actual OpenAI API key (Sora 2 Video node, Get Video node, Download Video node).\n\n- If you need to adjust video parameters such as video size or length refer to Sora 2 API [documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/sora-2).\n\n### 2. How it works:\n\n- Describe the video you want to create and enter the text prompt in Trigger Node (Text Prompt)\n\n- Sora 2 Video http node sends API request to OpenAI Sora 2.\n\n- A video generation takes a few minutes.\n\n- Get Video node checks the status of the video (in_progress or completed) in regular intervals (set up in Wait for Video node).\n\n- When video is still processing, workflow loops back to wait and check the video status again.\n\n\n- When the video status equals completed (IF node condition), the Download Video node downloads the final video in mp4 format.\n\n---\n## Need Help or Want to Customize?\nFor further automation or integration, feel free to [book an appointment](https://aibizelevate.com/) or [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbora-svobodova-461b92285/)\n\n"
