Story over product demo

Sora pages should answer narrative intent: what is happening, why it matters, and what world the viewer is entering.

Best prompt ingredients

Premise, subject motivation, setting rules, camera distance, and tonal reference usually matter more than listing many visual adjectives.

Where it fits

Use it for pitch scenes, concept trailers, speculative worlds, and story-led social teasers.

Trust details that help users create with context

Workflow transparency

The page explains the recommended mode, starting settings, and where a model may need additional iteration before production use.

Human review

Review prompts, people, brands, text, and usage rights before publishing generated assets in campaigns or client work.

Use-case fit

Model guidance is organized by realistic creative jobs such as product motion, story scenes, catalog images, posters, and brand extensions.

Run a first Sora pass instead of only reading docs
