Quality Tips

Common Issues

Motion Not Clear

Problem: Video doesn't show the motion you wanted

Solution: Use explicit motion verbs and camera descriptions

Add keywords like: "camera zooms in", "moving from left to right", "slow motion"

Too Complex

Problem: Multiple actions causing confusion

Solution: Focus on one main action or movement per video

Keep it simple—complex scenes work better as separate clips

Examples

Social Media Story:

Phone screen showing app interface, finger scrolling through 
content, clean modern design, vertical format, soft lighting

Settings: Sora 2, 10s, Portrait (9:16) - 17 credits
