Sora 2 prompt library
Sora 2 is strongest when you give it a scene with intent, not just a look. It handles world consistency, believable motion, and cause and effect. Describe who is in the shot, what they are doing and why, then the camera and the light. A little narrative logic goes a long way toward footage that feels shot rather than generated.
How to write great Sora 2 prompts
Four rules that make the difference between a flat result and a usable one.
Sora rewards intent. "A chef plating a dish with care before a service rush" carries more coherent motion than "a chef in a kitchen".
Describe consequences: liquid splashes and settles, a door swings and light spills in. Sora simulates these believably when you name them.
Name the wardrobe and setting so a subject stays consistent across a beat. Restate the essentials rather than assuming memory.
State framing (wide, medium, close), one camera move, and lens feel. Sora responds to composed direction more than to adjective stacks.

Morning routine, narrative
LifestyleA woman in a cream robe makes pour-over coffee in a sunlit kitchen, steam rising as water hits the grounds, she glances out the window while it brews, warm morning light, medium shot with a slow push in on a 35mm lens. Believable unhurried motion, natural skin, consistent wardrobe.
Product in the wild
ProductA stainless water bottle sits on a mossy rock beside a mountain stream, a hand reaches in and lifts it, water droplets falling back into the current, soft overcast light, shallow depth of field, camera tilts up slightly to follow. Realistic water physics, stable product geometry.
Retail moment, believable
RetailInside a warm boutique, a customer takes a folded knit sweater off a shelf and holds it up to the light, other shoppers softly out of focus behind, natural store lighting, handheld medium shot following her movement. Consistent faces, natural fabric behaviour, no warping.
Pet content, playful
UGCA golden retriever bounds across a green backyard toward the camera in slow motion, ears flapping, afternoon sun backlighting the fur, low camera at grass height tracking back as it runs. Joyful believable motion, realistic fur, no extra limbs.
Cinematic city open
B-rollA wide establishing shot of a rain-soaked city street at dusk, neon reflections on the pavement, pedestrians with umbrellas crossing, a bus passing through frame, slow dolly forward at eye level. Coherent crowd motion, believable reflections, filmic colour.
Skincare story, close
BeautyExtreme close-up of a serum drop forming at the tip of a glass dropper and falling onto an open palm, soft diffused beauty light, the droplet spreading on the skin, gentle hand tilt. Realistic fluid behaviour, natural skin texture, camera locked-off.
