Social Short (Vertical) Video Prompt Prompt for Sora

This is the Sora version of the social short (vertical) video prompt prompt: a vertical, hook-first clip formatted for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok. 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.

Reference image — keyframe

Attach a reference image: choose a file, drag & drop it here, or click here and paste. It never leaves your browser.

Attach reference image

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.

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 — [SUBJECT], [THE VISUAL HOOK], [PAYOFF] — with your own details before pasting.
