AI Video Prompt Generator

Describe your vision. We’ll turn it into a structured Sora 2 prompt—balanced, readable, and film‑literate.


          
Example: “a dog running on a beach” → “A cinematic tracking shot of a golden retriever sprinting along a sunlit coastline; soft morning light, 50 mm lens, shallow depth‑of‑field; gentle ocean spray; slow motion.”

Prompt Engineering Guides

AI Prompting Fundamentals

AI prompting is the craft of writing clear inputs that steer a large language model (LLM) toward useful, creative, and reliable output. See Wikipedia.

How it maps to video

For text‑to‑video, your prompt acts like a shot list: subject, scene, camera, motion, lighting, mood.

Advanced Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering turns creative goals into structured instructions. It’s how an AI prompt engineer translates ideas into predictable outputs—text, image, or video.

Tips for better control
  • Be specific (scene, action, camera).
  • State exclusions (e.g., no text overlays).
  • Iterate, then refine tone and pacing.
  • Use OpenAI’s official guide.

Sora 2 • Prompting Basics

What is Sora 2?

Sora 2 is OpenAI’s advanced text-to-video model capable of generating high-quality, cinematic video from natural language prompts. Learn more at OpenAI.

This tool outputs optimized text prompts for Sora 2. It does not generate videos; paste the prompt into your Sora app or workflow.

Best‑Practice Prompt Elements

  • Scene: place, time, weather, texture.
  • Subject/Action: who/what + behavior.
  • Camera: lens, shot, movement.
  • Lighting: key, fill, color, mood.
  • Audio (optional): ambience / sfx if applicable.
  • Exclusions: e.g., no text overlays; avoid Dutch angles.

Structured Prompting for Sora 2

JSON-Style Prompt Templates

Use simple structure for repeatable results. Example key‑value inputs:

{
  "scene": "glassy fjord at blue hour",
  "subject": "solo hiker gazes skyward on ridge",
  "camera": "70mm, slow crane, gentle parallax",
  "lighting": "twilight fill; moon rim; low contrast",
  "exclude": ["text overlays", "dutch angles"]
}

Structured prompts improve consistency. See OpenAI’s text-to-video guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this generate video?

No. It generates text prompts optimized for Sora 2. Paste them into your Sora workflow.

Can I use negative prompts?

Sora 2 doesn’t expose separate negative prompts; write exclusions explicitly in text, e.g., no text overlays.

Aspect ratio?

We default to --ar 16:9, but you can change this to match your target output.
