Prompt From Video
Turn your idea or reference video into a detailed Sora prompt with clear scene direction, action, composition, and pacing.
World detail, composition, and narrative intent
Sora prompts can read like direction for a cinematographer. Begin with the world and its visual rules, place the subject inside it, then describe the action and camera. Concrete relationships matter: where the light comes from, what occupies foreground and background, and how the subject changes.
Use a temporal structure when the scene evolves. “At first,” “as,” and “by the end” establish causality without turning the prompt into a frame-by-frame script. For physically unusual ideas, explain the rule once and show its consequence. A city folding like paper is clearer when buildings crease along streets and cast changing shadows.
Composition carries emotional intent. Negative space can isolate a character, a low angle can make architecture oppressive, and a slow reveal can withhold scale. The analyzer preserves these relationships instead of reducing the clip to style keywords.
State what is ordinary or impossible and keep that logic consistent through the shot.
Place useful elements in foreground, midground, and background, then guide attention.
Describe the opening state, the change, and the final image in causal order.
Use a coherent lens, movement, palette, texture, and lighting source instead of stacked style names.
At blue hour, a quiet modern city begins folding along its streets like an enormous paper model. In the foreground, a cyclist stops beneath a streetlamp; distant towers crease inward one by one, changing the direction of long reflections. Slow aerial pullback reveals the geometric transformation, realistic material weight, cool cyan sky and warm windows.
A lone conservator crosses a dark natural-history museum carrying a small work light. Dinosaur skeletons form layered silhouettes from foreground to deep background. The camera glides parallel behind glass cases; dust enters the beam, and by the end a vast whale skeleton appears overhead. Quiet, patient, photorealistic.
Wide 35mm view of a glass greenhouse standing alone in windblown dunes. Inside, tropical leaves press against fogged panes while sand streams around the foundation. A slow push-in passes from harsh amber exterior light to saturated humid green, revealing one person watering plants in the distance.
Use enough detail to establish world, subject, action, camera, and finish. Remove adjectives that do not change a visible decision.
It is not mandatory, but a clear framing and one motivated move help control how the scene is revealed.
Explain one consistent physical or visual rule, then describe observable consequences such as movement, scale, light, and interaction.
