Pro Tips

Prompt Techniques

Use specific, detailed descriptions. For example: 'A golden Labrador chasing a frisbee on the beach, sunlight glistening on the water, slow motion' works better than 'dog on beach'.

Physical Realism

Sora 2's physics engine is very powerful. Try describing scenes requiring complex physical interactions, like 'basketball falling from height, bouncing three times before rolling into the basket'.

Cameo Best Practices

When recording Cameo, ensure good lighting and simple background. This helps AI integrate you naturally into various scenes.

Video Length

Shorter videos (5-10 seconds) generate faster with more stable quality. For complex scenes, start with short videos first.
