Sora Prompt Engineering
Though Sora is not open to public, and there is not much prompt engineering experience available, we can find the following tips from the tech report for writing effective prompts to generate high-quality video content.
Be clear, specific, and creative. Imagine you are a director, and you are giving instructions to your actors and crew. The more detailed and vivid your prompts are, the more compelling and accurate the video content will be. Sora can interpret a wide range of instructions to generate corresponding video content.
Sometimes, a simple storytelling prompt can also lead to a nice and engaging video. It is like describing your dream to a friend. Sora will rewrite prompt with more details according to the tech report. For example, a prompt like "A cat and a dog playing in a park" can result in a detailed and dynamic video with multiple characters, complex motion, and vibrant emotions.
Understanding Sora's capabilities and limitations also plays a role in crafting effective prompts. Sora is not yet capable of simulating complex physics or understanding cause and effect.
