Number of results to generate. Each result uses a different seed, producing variations of the same parameters.

**Inputs**

Input resources for the task (images, audio, etc). These must be nested inside the \`inputs\` object.

### [frameImages](https://runware.ai/docs/models/openai-sora-2-pro#request-inputs-frameimages)

- **Path**: `inputs.frameImages`
- **Type**: `array of strings or objects`

An array of frame-specific image inputs to guide video generation. Each item can be either a plain image input (UUID, URL, Data URI, or Base64) or an object that pairs an image with a target frame position.

The `frameImages` parameter allows you to constrain specific frames within the video sequence, ensuring that particular visual content appears at designated points. This is different from `referenceImages`, which provide overall visual guidance without constraining specific timeline positions.

When the `frame` parameter is omitted, automatic distribution rules apply:

- **1 image**: Used as the first frame.

**Examples**:

**Shorthand format:** When you don't need to specify a frame position, you can pass a plain image input directly.

```json
"frameImages": [
  "aac49721-1964-481a-ae78-8a4e29b91402"
]
```

**Object format:** When you need to specify a frame position, use an object with `image` and `frame`.

```json
"frameImages": [
  {
    "image": "aac49721-1964-481a-ae78-8a4e29b91402",
    "frame": "first"
  }
]
```

**Format 1: string[]**:

- **Type**: `string`

Image input (UUID, URL, Data URI, or Base64).

**Format 2: object[]**:

#### [image](https://runware.ai/docs/models/openai-sora-2-pro#request-inputs-frameimages-format-2-image)

- **Path**: `inputs.frameImages.image`
- **Type**: `string`
- **Required**: true

Image input (UUID, URL, Data URI, or Base64).

#### [frame](https://runware.ai/docs/models/openai-sora-2-pro#request-inputs-frameimages-format-2-frame)

- **Path**: `inputs.frameImages.frame`
- **Type**: `object`

Target frame position for the image. This model only supports the first frame.

**Allowed values**:

- `first` First frame of the video.
- `0` Frame index 0 (first frame).

### [videoId](https://runware.ai/docs/models/openai-sora-2-pro#request-inputs-videoid)

- **Path**: `inputs.videoId`
- **Type**: `string`

ID of a previously generated video. Used for remixing or extending.

  "positivePrompt": "A cinematic wide shot drifting slowly through a flooded mangrove forest at twilight during a warm monsoon rain. The tangled roots rise from mirror-dark water, and every raindrop disturbs glowing turquoise bioluminescent algae that ripple outward in delicate rings. Small lantern-like jelly insects hover between branches, casting soft teal and amber light. A narrow wooden skiff sits half-hidden among the roots, covered in wet woven baskets, seashell charms, and a dim oil lamp. In the distance, thunderclouds pulse with silent violet lightning behind layers of mist. The camera glides forward at water level with subtle parallax through leaves and hanging vines, revealing tiny tree frogs, drifting pollen, and rain sliding from glossy foliage. Soundscape: dense rainfall on leaves and water, soft insect chorus, distant thunder, creaking wood, gentle water lapping. Ultra-detailed, naturalistic cinematic fantasy, precise reflections, volumetric mist, moody color contrast, believable physics, cohesive atmosphere, premium production quality.",
