Sora turns words into video — but only when the prompt speaks shot language: what the camera sees, how it moves, and how the shot ends. Describe your scene, pick a shot and a camera move, and get a ready-to-paste Sora prompt — every example below shows the frame that kind of prompt creates.
Pick a starter, or describe your own scene — then generate, copy, and paste it into Sora.
Every prompt below comes with the kind of frame it creates. Copy any prompt as-is, or send it into the builder above and tune it. Example frames are AI-generated stills showing what the prompt produces.
A video prompt is a shot description, written in this order:

Common questions about this Sora prompt builder.
A Sora prompt generator turns a rough scene idea into a structured video prompt: shot, subject, motion, camera, lighting, style and duration — the order Sora reads best. This one also shows an example frame next to each ready-made prompt, so you can see the shot that kind of prompt creates before you use it.
Yes — completely free, with no signup and no limits. It runs 100% in your browser using templates, so nothing is sent to a server and your text never leaves the page.
Yes. The prompts are plain scene descriptions in shot language — shot, subject, motion, camera, light, style — which Sora and Sora 2 both read the same way. Nothing here depends on a version-specific feature.
Two to three sentences is the sweet spot: one for the scene, one for the motion and camera, one for style and light. Longer prompts dilute the shot, and one-liners leave too much to chance. The generator keeps your prompt in that range automatically.
The prompts themselves are free to copy and use. Running them needs a Sora account, which is a paid service. The same shot-language prompts also work well in other text-to-video tools such as Runway, Veo 3 and Pika.
The prompts themselves are free to use with no restrictions. Commercial use of the videos you generate depends on Sora's terms and your plan, so check OpenAI's current terms before using a clip in an ad or for a client.
A still image needs subject, style and light. A video also needs motion, time and camera movement. A Sora prompt says what moves, how the camera moves, and how the shot ends — that is the difference, and it is why this generator asks for a shot type and a camera move.
No. The generator is template-based and runs entirely on this page. Your description is never uploaded, stored or sent anywhere.
