Prompt Size by Sora Model

    

      
Standard Sora: The typical, lower-tier offering of Sora can handle text prompts up to 2,000 characters in length. This is suitable for shorter, less complex video descriptions.

      
Sora Pro: The more advanced, professional-tier model supports significantly longer prompts, accepting more than 15,000 characters. This allows for detailed "long scene prompting" to give creators granular control over their video generation.

    


    
    
Best Practices for Detailed Prompts

    

      
To make the most of the available character space, follow best-practice prompting structures, which break down your scene into specific elements. This method helps the AI better interpret and generate your desired video.


      
Elements to Include in a Detailed Prompt

      
    
        
  • Scene: A clear description of the setting, including lighting and notable details, e.g., "Neon-lit alley at night, light drizzle; puddles reflecting signage".
    • 
        
  • Subject/Action: Define the main character and what they are doing, e.g., "Courier in a medium close-up adjusts helmet, breath visible in cool air".
    • 
        
  • Camera: Specify the camera’s technical details and movement, e.g., "35mm lens at f/2.8; handheld dolly-in, subtle micro-shake; shallow DOF".
    • 
        
  • Lighting: Describe the lighting for the scene, e.g., "Practical neons as key; cool rim light; wet asphalt glistening".
    • 
        
  • Audio (optional): Include sound effects or music to generate alongside the video. Audio generation is a core feature of Sora as of late 2025.
    • 
        
  • Exclusions: List anything you want the AI to avoid, e.g., "No text overlays; avoid Dutch angles".

Prompt Engineering Best Practices

    


      

        

          
Be Specific and Detailed

          
Clearly describe your scene, characters, and actions. Include lighting, colors, mood, time of day, and environmental details. The more precise your prompt, the closer the AI can match your vision.

        

      


      

        

          
Break Down the Scene

          
Divide your prompt into elements: Scene/Environment, Subject/Action, Camera/Shot, Lighting, Audio, and Exclusions. Structured prompts help Sora interpret complex scenarios accurately.

        

      


      

        

          
Use Cinematic and Technical Terms

          
Include visual adjectives like “vibrant,” “moody,” “ultra-detailed,” and cinematic camera terms such as “shallow depth-of-field,” “wide-angle lens,” or “motion blur.” This improves realism and style consistency.

        

      


      

        

          
Specify Style and Quality

          
Mention resolution, realism, or artistic style (e.g., 8K, photorealistic, stylized, painterly). Use Sora model flags like --v 6 for consistent rendering quality and output style.

        

      


      

        

          
Iterate and Refine

          
Start with a broad prompt, review outputs, and progressively add details. Small adjustments can drastically change results. Testing iteratively ensures more precise, controlled videos.

        

      


      

        

          
Include Exclusions

          
Explicitly tell Sora what to avoid. Examples: “No text overlays,” “avoid Dutch angles,” or “no oversaturated colors.” This prevents unwanted artifacts and ensures a cleaner result.

        

      


      

        

          
Reference Styles and Inspirations

          
Provide context with artistic references or visual inspirations. For example: “Cyberpunk aesthetic in the style of Blade Runner”. This guides the AI towards your desired aesthetic.

        

      


      

        

          
Balance Prompt Length

          
Longer prompts allow granular control (up to Sora Pro limits: 15,000+ characters). However, avoid overcomplicating; clarity is key. Focus on structured, concise descriptions that are easy for the AI to interpret.
