Natural physical motion with strong complex-scene performance. Sora works best when the prompt clearly describes scene, action, and mood.
Use the shot, subject, action, environment, mood, and audio cues format to keep Sora prompts precise.
Soft handheld medium close shot with a subtle dolly-in. A small restaurant after closing at night. An older chef wipes the counter, pauses, and looks toward the street, shifting from focused to thoughtful and warm. Warm tungsten light, a hint of rain, realistic cinematic mood, film grain, moderate warm saturation, soft shadows, low contrast, quiet nostalgia. Audio: rain, city ambience, wiping sounds, understated music, no voice.
Match the Sora model and resolution to your draft or final-output need.
Use Sora 2 when you want to test cinematic prompt direction at the base resolution.
Use Sora 2 Pro for sharper vertical or horizontal social clips.
Use true 1080p only after the scene direction is already working.

Sora performs best on scenes with clear spatial relationships, readable subject motion, and a strong sense of mood or narrative intent.
Move to Pro after the base prompt is already working and you want sharper detail or a cleaner final delivery for client-facing or publish-ready clips.
Keep one main subject, one clear action, and one camera idea in the prompt. Stability usually improves when the scene is focused instead of packed with unrelated beats.
Treat the image as a tone or composition anchor. The best results usually come when the prompt builds on the same scene logic instead of fighting against the reference.
