AI Video Prompt Generator

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.

Structured Prompt Design

          
    
            
  • Define the subject and motion first.
    • 
            
  • Include camera angle and lighting details for realism.
    • 
            
  • Refine language to match cinematic or documentary tone.
    •

AI Prompting

          
AI prompting is the craft of writing clear inputs that steer a large language model (LLM) toward useful, creative, and reliable output.

          

            How it maps to video
            

              For text-to-video, your prompt acts like a shot list: subject, scene, camera, motion, lighting, mood.
            

          

          

            See 
            Wikipedia: Natural Language Processing
            for the underlying technology.
          

        


        
        

          
Prompt Engineering

          
Prompt engineering turns creative goals into structured instructions. It’s how an AI prompt engineer translates ideas into predictable outputs—text, image, or video.

          

            Tips for better control
            
    
              
  • Be specific (scene, action, camera).
    • 
              
  • State exclusions (e.g., no text overlays).
    • 
              
  • Iterate, then refine tone and pacing.

Best-Practice Prompt Elements

          
    
            
  • Scene: place, time, weather, texture.
    • 
            
  • Subject/Action: who/what + behavior.
    • 
            
  • Camera: lens, shot, movement.
    • 
            
  • Lighting: key, fill, color, mood.
    • 
            
  • Audio (optional): ambience / sfx if applicable.
    • 
            
  • Exclusions: e.g., no text overlays; avoid Dutch angles.

Structured Prompting

          
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 aligns with 
            JSON standards
            and can be parsed programmatically.
          

        


        
        

          
FAQ

          

            Does this generate video?
            
No. It generates text prompts optimized for Sora 2. Paste them into your Sora workflow.

          

          

            Can I use negative prompts?
            
Sora 2 doesn’t expose separate negative prompts; write exclusions explicitly in text, e.g., no text overlays.

          

          

            Aspect ratio?
            
We default to --ar 16:9, but you can change this to match your target output.

          

          

            What is Sora 2?
            

              Sora 2 is OpenAI’s advanced text-to-video model. See 
              OpenAI Sora
              for official details.
