Social Hook Clip (First-Frame Stopping Power) Prompt for Sora
This is the Sora version of the social hook clip (first-frame stopping power) prompt: a vertical clip engineered around the first frame: already mid-action at frame one, payoff held at the end — built to stop a scrolling thumb. It is formatted the way Sora takes prompts best. Free — copy it, replace the bracketed parts, and paste it in.
Sunset notice: this model has been discontinued by its maker. This page is kept as a record — there is no run-it destination, because there is no service left to run it in. The prompt structure still works in the models that replaced it.
The prompt
Push copies this prompt with a reference line naming your image, and downloads the image file — attach it in the model to complete the pair. This page stages the pair for you; it cannot upload into the model itself (sites cannot reach into each other), so the final attach happens there. The image is downscaled to at most 1024px and stored only in this browser, paired with this prompt. If browser storage is full, it is kept for this visit only.
The deliverable — and how to check it
Deliverable: one 6-second vertical 9:16 clip whose very first frame is already mid-action (no fade-in, no empty lead), ending on the payoff image held for the final full second. Acceptance check: scrub to frame one — if the action has not already started, the clip fails; the hook cannot be repaired in the edit.

Using this prompt with Sora
Sora was OpenAI's video model — and it has been discontinued. OpenAI retired the Sora consumer app in April 2026 and shut down the Sora 2 models and the Videos API in September 2026, with no successor under the Sora name; OpenAI's video generation now lives inside ChatGPT. This page is kept as a sunset record: the prompt text below is the form Sora took best (storyboard-style shot prose with cameo character references), preserved because the same structure still works in the models that replaced it. There is deliberately no run-it link — there is no Sora service left to run it in.
Replace the bracketed placeholders — [HOOK ACTION], [SETTING], [PAYOFF IMAGE] — with your own details before pasting.
