Step 4: Generate Platform-Specific Prompts

Create complete prompts for each 15-second segment (or shorter for Veo batching).

Sora 2 Prompt Anatomy

[Style/Era/Aesthetic] — [Subject with complete character description] [Action with timing beats] in [Setting with lighting details]. [Camera specifications]. [Background description].

[Subject pronoun] speaks in [language/dialect], saying: "[exact script text]". [Gesture cues with timing]. [Energy/delivery notes]. [Final action/expression].

Sora 2 Prompt Template:

A [age range] [ethnicity] [gender], @[username], [energy descriptor] and [demeanor descriptor], stands facing the camera at [camera angle]. The camera uses a [focal length] lens showing [framing description]. [Pronoun] wears [complete wardrobe description], conveying [intended impression]. [Pronoun] has [hair/styling details] and a [expression description].

The scene takes place in a [location type] with [lighting quality] at [color temperature]:
– A [key light type and modifier] positioned [position description], casting [light quality].
– A [fill light type] on the [position] to [purpose].
– A [back light description] to [purpose].

The background is a [background description with specific technical requirements].

@[username] speaks naturally in [language/dialect], maintaining [energy descriptor]. [Pronoun] emphasizes [key content points] — "[direct script quote]" — while using [gesture description with timing]. [Pronoun] delivery is [delivery style descriptors].

The camera remains [movement description] at [position] with [movement notes]. The scene ends with [pronoun] [final action/expression], [final gesture description] — [intended final impression].

Veo 3.1 Prompt Anatomy

[Subject with complete physical description] [Action with specific verbs] [Environment with lighting]. [Camera framing and angle]. [Background description].

Veo 3.1 Prompt Template:

[Age range] [ethnicity] [gender] with [physical details], wearing [complete wardrobe], [action verb] while speaking to camera. [Pronoun] has [hair/styling] and [expression]. [Pronoun] uses [gesture description] as [pronoun] delivers: "[script text]".

Setting: [Location type]. Lighting: [key light position and quality], [fill light], [back light]. [Color temperature]. Background: [specific background description].

Camera: [Framing] at [angle]. [Camera preset: Static/Pan/Dolly/etc.]

Energy: [Energy descriptor]. Delivery: [Pacing/tone notes].

Veo Camera Presets (use instead of describing movement):

• Static
• Pan Left / Pan Right
• Tilt Up / Tilt Down
• Dolly In / Dolly Out
• Truck Left / Truck Right
• Crane Up / Crane Down
• Orbit

Step 5: Structure Multi-Segment Output

For videos longer than 15 seconds, create independent prompts for each segment that can be generated separately and stitched.

Critical Continuity Elements (must be identical across all segments):

• Complete character description (copy from CHARACTER SHEET)
• Exact wardrobe details
• Hair and styling
• Lighting setup (all three lights with specs)
• Background description
• Camera specifications (lens, angle, framing)

Never reference previous segments — each prompt must be fully self-contained.

Structured Output Format

CRITICAL: Output must follow this exact section structure for post-processing scripts and integration with video generation workflows.

Avatar Background Presets

For talking-head videos requiring clean, motion-friendly backgrounds:

Solid Color Chroma Key

Use case: Maximum post-production flexibility

Sora 2:

The background is a perfectly uniform solid green chroma screen (#00FF00) with no shadows, gradients, or texture, ideal for post-production compositing. The lighting is even across the entire background with no hotspots or variations.

Veo 3.1:

Background: Uniform solid green (#00FF00) chroma key screen, perfectly even lighting, no texture or shadows.

Professional Office/Studio

Use case: Corporate, educational, authoritative content

Sora 2:

The background is a softly blurred modern office interior with warm ambient lighting. Subtle bookshelves and neutral decor are visible but out of focus, creating depth without distraction. Soft natural light from an off-camera window adds warmth.

Veo 3.1:

Background: Soft-focus modern office with bookshelves, neutral decor, warm ambient lighting, shallow depth of field.

Minimalist Clean

Use case: Contemporary, design-focused, lifestyle content

Sora 2:

The background is a clean, minimalist interior with soft white walls and subtle texture. Gentle indirect lighting creates a fresh, airy feel. No distinct objects or text visible, maintaining focus on the subject.

Veo 3.1:

Background: Minimal white textured wall, soft indirect lighting, clean aesthetic, no distractions.

Warm Lifestyle

Use case: Personal brand, approachable, conversational content

Sora 2:

The background features a softly blurred warm interior with plants and natural elements visible but unfocused. Golden hour lighting creates a welcoming, authentic atmosphere. Depth without visual clutter.

Veo 3.1:

Background: Soft-focus warm interior, plants, natural elements, golden hour lighting, shallow DOF.

Background Best Practices:

• Avoid subjects or motion passing through frame
• Use shallow depth of field (described as "softly blurred," "out of focus")
• No readable text or signage
• Subtle motion only (e.g., gentle light movement, slight camera sway)
• Maintain consistent lighting across segments

Platform Comparison

Batch Generation Strategy

Sora 2: Storyboard Mode (Pro)

For 30-60s videos, use Storyboard mode to generate connected segments:

1. Access sora.com → Create → Storyboard
2. Add Scene cards for each 15s segment
3. Paste segment prompts into each card
4. Adjust spacing:
   • Close together = hard cuts
   • Far apart = AI generates transitions
5. Set duration per scene (10s, 15s, or 25s total)
6. Generate and preview full sequence
7. Edit individual scenes as needed

Limitations: 25s total max, Pro subscription required

Alternative: Generate segments individually and stitch in post-production

Veo 3.1: Ingredients-to-Video

For multi-segment videos requiring character continuity:

1. Generate Segment 1 using Text-to-Video
2. Save character from Segment 1 as Ingredient (app: ⋯ → Create ingredient)
3. For Segment 2+: Use Ingredients-to-Video mode
4. Select saved character ingredient + new prompt
5. Veo maintains character appearance across segments
6. Add to Scene Builder timeline for stitching
7. Use Jump To or Extend for seamless transitions

Benefits: Reliable character continuity, batch 1-4 clips per generation

Quality Checklist

Before finalizing prompts, verify:

Prompt Completeness:

• All character details explicitly stated in each segment prompt
• Lighting setup fully described (key, fill, back) in each prompt
• Background specifications clear and consistent across segments
• Camera work precisely defined (lens, angle, framing, movement/preset)
• No references to "previous scene" or "same as before"
• Script text included for each segment
• Gesture cues aligned with script timing

Character Continuity (Multi-Segment):

• CHARACTER SHEET created and complete
• Wardrobe identical across all segment prompts
• Hair/styling identical across all prompts
• Lighting specifications identical across all prompts
• Background identical across all prompts
• Camera specs identical (unless intentional variation)
• Character appearance details consistent

Platform Optimization:

• Sora prompts use prose-style camera descriptions
• Veo prompts use preset camera controls
• Sora Cameo @username included (if applicable)
• Veo Ingredients strategy noted for character continuity
• Duration matches platform constraints (15s Sora, 8s Veo base)
• Generation mode specified per platform

Production Readiness:

• Chroma key requirements specified (if applicable)
• Post-production stitching strategy noted
• Audio strategy specified (auto-gen, voiceover, sync)
• Cost estimate provided
• All metadata fields complete

Script Integration:

• Script text exactly matches video-script skill output
• Gesture cues from script preserved
• Timing validated (fits within segment duration)
• Energy/tone matches script specifications

Integration with video-script Skill

This skill receives timed scripts from video-script and adds production specifications.

Input from video-script:

• Timed script segments (validated to platform constraints)
• Hook alternatives (for A/B testing)
• CTA variations
• Gesture cues (mapped to script moments)
• Visual overlay suggestions
• Narrative structure and tone

This skill adds:

• Complete character specifications (CHARACTER SHEET)
• Camera setup (lens, angle, framing, movement/presets)
• Lighting details (3-point lighting with color temp and modifiers)
• Background specifications (chroma key, location, solid color)
• Platform-specific prompt formatting (Sora 2 prose vs. Veo 3.1 structured)
• Generation mode recommendations
• Cost estimates
• Batch generation strategy

Combined Workflow:

Raw idea/concept

Timed, segmented script with narrative structure
  ↓
video-prompt skill (this skill)
  ↓
Platform-specific AI video prompts (Sora 2 and/or Veo 3.1)
  ↓
Generate in platform → Stitch segments → Final video

Troubleshooting

Issue: Character appearance inconsistent between segments

Solution:

• Ensure CHARACTER SHEET is copied exactly to each segment prompt
• Never abbreviate or paraphrase character details
• Include ALL elements: wardrobe, hair, expression, energy
• For Veo: Use Ingredients-to-Video with saved character
• For Sora: Verify @username Cameo is included in all prompts

Issue: Lighting looks different across segments

Solution:

• Copy exact lighting specifications to all segment prompts
• Include color temperature (K) in all prompts
• Describe all three lights (key, fill, back) in each prompt
• Note light quality (soft, hard, even) consistently

Issue: Background discontinuity

Solution:

• Use identical background description in all prompts
• For chroma key: Specify exact color and "perfectly uniform"
• For location: Copy exact location description to all segments
• Note any intentional background changes explicitly

Issue: Prompts too long or too detailed

Solution:

• Sora tolerates longer prose prompts (200+ words acceptable)
• Veo prefers concise, structured prompts (100-150 words ideal)
• Front-load most important details
• Use camera presets (Veo) instead of describing movement
• Combine related details into single sentences

Issue: Camera movement unreliable or unexpected

Solution:

• Sora: Use specific verbs ("slow dolly left" not "moves smoothly")
• Veo: Use preset controls only, don't describe movement in text
• Default to Static camera for most reliable results
• Test camera movement with shorter clips first

Issue: Script doesn't fit segment timing

Solution:

• Verify script from video-script skill is within timing target
• Read script aloud at intended energy level
• For Sora: Max 15s = ~40 words English promotional
• For Veo: Target 8s clips = ~21 words English promotional
• Reduce word count or split into additional segments
