Sora 2 Prompt Generator: Structured Prompts for AI Video Creation

The Sora 2 Prompt Generator helps you translate your video idea into a clear, structured natural language prompt tailored for AI video generation with Sora 2. It supports:

Text → Video: Start from a written concept only.
Image → Video: Upload a reference image and build a moving scene around it.
Video → Video: Upload a short video and request edits, extensions, or variations.

You describe what you want in everyday language—what the scene should look like, how it should move, and how long it should be. The generator turns that into a Sora‑ready, step‑by‑step prompt that covers subject, motion, camera work, style, and timing.

How Sora 2 Prompt Generator Thinks (Opal‑Style Workflow)

Internally, this generator follows the same structured thinking as an Opal‑style workflow:

Analyze Your Idea It identifies:
- Input: Text only, an uploaded image, or an uploaded video.
- Core action: What should happen in the scene (movement, transition, change).
- Output: A detailed Sora 2 prompt for generating or editing video.
Deconstruct into a Sequence Even though Sora 2 uses a single prompt, the generator breaks your idea into logical parts:
- Scene setup (location, time of day, atmosphere)
- Characters/objects (appearance, clothing, behavior)
- Camera behavior (angles, movement, zooms, cuts)
- Motion & events (what happens over time)
- Visual style (realistic, cinematic, anime, 3D, etc.)
- Duration and aspect ratio constraints (if supported in your workflow)
Compose a Structured Sora 2 Prompt The final output is a polished, copy‑ready prompt you can paste into Sora 2 that clearly instructs the model how to generate or transform the video.

Using Sora 2 Prompt Generator with Text Only

Example Idea (what you type):

“I want a cinematic shot of a lone astronaut walking through a neon‑lit rainy city at night, camera slowly following behind.”

Generated Sora 2 Prompt:

"Create a cinematic video of a lone astronaut walking through a neon-lit cyberpunk city at night.

Scene:
- Wide, futuristic city street with tall skyscrapers, glowing holographic billboards, and wet pavement reflecting neon lights.
- It's raining lightly, with visible raindrops and soft mist near the ground.

Character:
- A single astronaut in a slightly worn white space suit with a reflective visor.
- The astronaut walks steadily down the center of the street, hands relaxed by their sides.

Camera:
- Third-person camera positioned a few meters behind and slightly above the astronaut.
- Slow, smooth tracking shot following the astronaut forward.
- Subtle handheld feel, but mostly stable.

Motion & Atmosphere:
- Neon signs flicker and change colors (pinks, blues, purples, teal).
- Occasional futuristic cars and silhouettes of pedestrians in the distance, slightly out of focus.
- Soft reflections of lights on the wet ground, with a moody, cinematic look.

Style & Quality:
- Highly detailed, photorealistic rendering.
- Cinematic color grading with strong contrast and deep shadows.
- 16:9 aspect ratio, approximately 8–12 seconds of continuous motion."

Using Sora 2 Prompt Generator with Image Upload

When you upload an image, the generator treats it as a visual anchor and creates a prompt that extends or animates that still frame.

Example Idea:

“Use my uploaded illustration of a girl reading under a tree and turn it into a short animated scene where the wind gently moves the leaves and pages.”

Generated Sora 2 Prompt (for an image‑conditioned video):

"Using the uploaded illustration as the base frame, create a gentle animated video of the same scene.

Scene & Reference:
- Preserve the composition, colors, and art style of the uploaded image showing a girl reading under a large tree in a peaceful meadow.
- Maintain the same character design, lighting, and background elements.

Animation & Motion:
- A soft breeze moves the tree leaves and grass subtly.
- Pages of the open book flutter slightly as the wind passes.
- A few loose leaves drift slowly across the frame.
- The girl's hair and clothing react gently to the wind.

Camera:
- Static camera framing the same view as the reference image.
- Very slight, almost imperceptible camera drift or parallax to add depth (optional).

Style & Quality:
- Match the original illustration’s style (soft, painterly, warm colors).
- Smooth, natural animation with no abrupt movements.
- 6–10 seconds loop-friendly animation, 16:9 or original aspect ratio, depending on the reference."

Using Sora 2 Prompt Generator with Video Upload

For existing video, the generator writes prompts that edit, extend, or transform the clip.

Example Idea:

“I have a short video of a tranquil beach at sunset. I want a version where bioluminescent waves glow as they crash, keeping everything else the same.”

Generated Sora 2 Prompt (for video‑to‑video):

"Using the uploaded beach-at-sunset video as the base, generate a stylized version with subtle fantasy enhancements.

Input:
- Preserve the original composition, camera movement, and timing of the uploaded clip.

Transformation:
- Add soft bioluminescent glow to the waves as they crest and crash onto the shore.
- The glowing water should emit a gentle teal-blue light that slightly illuminates nearby wet sand.
- Keep the sky, clouds, and sunset colors natural and unchanged.
- Enhance reflections of the glowing waves in the shallow water.

Style & Quality:
- Semi-realistic, cinematic look.
- Do not introduce new objects or people; keep the scene quiet and peaceful.
- Match the duration and aspect ratio of the original clip."

What Sora 2 Prompt Generator Focuses On

Inputs: Text description, reference image, or base video.
Process (conceptually): Analyze idea → break into scene/subject/motion/camera/style → compose final prompt.
Output: A single, detailed Sora 2 prompt ready to paste into your video generation interface.

Best Practices for Strong Sora 2 Prompts

Be specific about motion: Describe exactly what moves and how (slowly, quickly, smoothly, etc.).
Direct the camera: Mention angles (wide/close‑up), movements (pan, tilt, track, zoom), and whether it’s static.
Define style: Photorealistic, cinematic, anime, 3D, painterly, etc.
Limit complexity: Fewer characters and actions per clip usually lead to better results.
State constraints where possible: Approximate duration, aspect ratio, and mood.

Considerations & Limitations

Model behavior: Sora 2 may interpret prompts creatively; ultra‑precise frame‑by‑frame control is not guaranteed.
Consistency: Maintaining exact character or style consistency across many clips can be challenging; use strong visual descriptions and, where available, consistent reference images.
Safety & content rules: Generated prompts must respect Sora’s safety and content policies; avoid harmful, explicit, or disallowed content.
Technical constraints: Resolution, duration, and aspect ratio options depend on the Sora 2 interface you’re using; treat those as preferences, not guarantees, in the prompt.
Data sensitivity: Avoid uploading private or sensitive images/videos if you are unsure about data handling policies.

How to Refine Your Sora 2 Prompts

Start with a shorter, simpler version of your idea and expand as you see results.
Adjust one dimension at a time (motion, camera, style) when iterating.
Save prompts that give good results as templates you can reuse with small changes.
For uploaded media, explicitly say what to preserve (composition, style) and what to change (lighting, motion, effects).
