OpenAI ยท Video model

Sora Prompts

Sora prompts that produce coherent, on-brief AI video clips.

Why Sora?

Sora is OpenAI's video model โ€” short clips with surprisingly coherent motion, camera language and physics. Getting good results comes down to writing like a director: name the shot, the camera move, the lighting, and the action arc. Our Sora prompts follow that structure and stay within the durations and aspect ratios the model actually nails today.

Sora is strongest at

  • Cinematic camera language (dolly, crane, handheld)
  • Coherent motion across 5โ€“20 second clips
  • Strong at stylised scenes โ€” noir, anime, documentary
  • Reasonable physics for liquids, cloth, and crowds
