Stop guessing—start directing. Expand a short idea into a clean, cinematic text-to-video prompt tuned for OpenAI Sora 2.
Try the Sora 2 Prompt Generator“Good prompts describe not only what you see, but how you see it.” — Prompt Engineering
Describe your idea. We’ll expand it into a structured Sora 2 prompt with composition, motion, lighting, and mood.
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.”
Output is optimized for Sora 2. Paste directly into your workflow.
AI prompting is the craft of writing clear inputs that steer a large language model (LLM) toward useful, creative, and reliable output. [Wikipedia]
For text-to-video, your prompt acts like a shot list: subject, scene, camera, motion, lighting, mood. See OpenAI Text-to-Video Guide.
Prompt engineering turns creative goals into structured instructions. It’s how an AI prompt engineer translates ideas into predictable outputs—text, image, or video.

This tool outputs optimized text prompts for Sora 2. It does not generate videos; paste the prompt into your Sora app or workflow.
Use simple structure for repeatable results. Example key-value inputs:
{
"scene": "neon alley at night, light drizzle",
"subject": "courier adjusts helmet, breath visible",
"camera": "35mm, subtle dolly-in, shallow DOF",
"lighting": "practical neons as key; cool rim",
"exclude": ["text overlays", "dutch angles"]
}
This format supports automation and consistency. Read more in structured prompting research.

No. It generates text prompts optimized for Sora 2. Paste them into your Sora workflow.
Sora 2 doesn’t expose separate negative prompts; write exclusions explicitly in text, e.g., no text overlays.
We default to --ar 16:9, but you can change this to match your target output.
Yes. The structured format works with Runway, Pika, Kling, and Luma Dream Machine.
