Getting started with Sora2 AI

A short path from a blank prompt to a usable video draft.

Goal

Ship one clear short video, then change only one thing on the next pass.

Steps

1. Open the workspace.
2. Pick a video model (Sora 2 or Seedance 2.5).
3. Write a short prompt: subject and action → scene → camera → light → duration.
4. Set aspect (16:9 or 9:16) and duration.
5. For image-to-video, switch tabs and upload a first frame.
6. Preview on the right. Fix one issue at a time — camera, subject, or light.

Tips

• Name the subject and motion first; add style words after the shot reads.
• Lock aspect and duration early so later edits do not fight the crop.
• Music and voice stay on the same page — no external hop.
