What is Sora 2 and how does it work?

Sora 2 is OpenAI's advanced second-generation AI video model that can generate realistic videos from text descriptions. It offers improved quality, longer video lengths and better control over camera movements, lighting and dialogue.

Why is 'Style' so important?

According to the official Sora 2 Prompting Guide, style is one of the most powerful factors. It should be at the very beginning of the prompt (e.g. '70s film', 'IMAX', 'documentary style') and determines how the model interprets all other details.

How do I write good actions?

Actions should be described in clear beats, e.g. 'She turns; her dress swings', 'He enters, catches her hand'. Keep each action short and specific. For 4-second clips, 3-5 actions are sufficient.

What should I specify for cinematography?

Choose the appropriate options from the dropdown menus: camera setting (e.g. 'Close-up', 'Slow push-in'), lens (e.g. '35mm', 'Shallow Depth of Field'), lighting (e.g. 'Warm overhead light') and mood (e.g. 'Gentle', 'Whimsical', 'Suspenseful').

Which video length should I choose?

4 seconds is recommended for best results. The model follows instructions more reliably with shorter clips. You can generate multiple 4-second clips and then edit them together.

How do I use AI generation optimally?

Enable 'Use AI Generation' and fill in the most important fields (Style, Scene, some Actions). The AI then fills in missing details following Sora 2 best practices and creates a structured, professional prompt.
