Sora2 and Sora3 prompts for AI video

Use a repeatable prompt formula

Start with the scene subject, add environment, then describe action, camera movement, lighting, visual treatment, and duration. This keeps the prompt readable and easier to debug.

• Subject and setting: one sentence.
• Movement and camera: one sentence.
• Style and constraints: one sentence.

Prompt example for a social video
