Sora guideVerified

OpenAI's video model. Premium narrative quality with strong temporal coherence — characters and props stay consistent across the clip. Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro are the available tiers.

Strengths

Best temporal coherence in the field — subjects don't morph between frames.
Storytelling beats: cause-and-effect, before-and-after, complex compositions hold together.
Long context: handles narrative prompts ("first X happens, then Y") well.
Storyboard mode (openai-sora-2-pro-storyboard) chains multiple scene cards.
Native audio on Sora 2 Pro variants.

Weaknesses

Slower than Veo Fast or Kling Standard — generation can take minutes.
Premium pricing tier — burn rate adds up quickly.
Less explosive action than Kling — Sora prefers contemplative pacing.
Stylization (anime, painterly) is OK but not its strength.

Best for

Narrative shorts — clips that tell a beginning/middle/end
Character-centric scenes where identity must hold across shots
Product reveals that need a clear story arc
Premium client work where quality > speed

Avoid for

Bulk drafting / iteration (use Kling Standard or Seedance Lite)
Heavy stylization

Prompting tips

Write in NARRATIVE order — Sora interprets time better than other models.
Use "then", "as", "while" to chain cause-and-effect within a single clip.
For character consistency, describe the person ONCE in detail at the top, then refer to them as "the woman" / "the boy".
Storyboard variant: write each card as its own complete scene; Sora handles the transitions.
