OpenAI's SORA 2 is a second-generation video and audio generation model that creates short, realistic video clips with synchronized dialogue, ambience, and sound effects from natural language descriptions.
However, unlocking its full potential requires a shift in thinking—from writing vague creative wishes to engineering precise, storyboard-style prompts.
This guide provides comprehensive best practices, templates, and techniques to help you master SORA 2 prompt engineering.
The Golden Rule
Each prompt should describe ONE clear shot or a very short sequence. For longer sequences, generate individual shots and stitch them together in post-production.
Think Like a Cinematographer
Write your prompt as if you are briefing a cinematographer who has never seen your storyboard. Use filmmaking language, not abstract descriptions.
Use our interactive prompt builder to generate optimized SORA 2 prompts. Simply fill in your scene details and let the tool apply all best practices automatically.
