Magic Hour today announced support for generating videos up to 60 seconds long using Sora 2 and Veo 3.1 through a new multi-scene workflow. Since these models are typically used for short clips, Magic Hour sequences multiple generations into a single video and applies continuity controls so the result feels like one cohesive story.
“We built this so longer videos still feel coherent from start to finish,” said Runbo Li, Co-founder and CEO of Magic Hour. “The scenes connect, the look stays consistent, and the same characters carry through instead of changing every few seconds.”
The workflow is available in both Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video. In Text-to-Video, users start with a prompt and Magic Hour generates an ordered shot plan that breaks the idea into scenes. In Image-to-Video, users start with a reference image to anchor key visual elements, such as the main character’s appearance and the overall look, across the full video.

How it works (high level)
Magic Hour breaks a user’s prompt or reference into scenes, generates each scene, then aligns and stitches the clips into a single video. The system carries forward key visual cues from scene to scene to help the output remain consistent while the story progresses.
Why this matters
Short-form generations are useful for quick concepts, but they often limit storytelling and pacing. A 60-second format supports use cases that require a beginning, middle, and end, including product demos, short narrative sequences, marketing creatives, and social content where context matters.
Availability
The 60-second workflow is available now on Magic Hour in Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video. Availability and performance may vary based on model capacity, queueing, and scene complexity.
