Social Short (Vertical) Video Prompt Prompt for Veo & Sora

This is the Veo & 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 Veo & Sora takes prompts best. Free — copy it, replace the bracketed parts, and paste it in.

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 Veo & Sora

This is the legacy combined Veo & Sora form, kept so older links keep working. The two models have since split in this library: Veo has its own form, and Sora was discontinued by OpenAI (the consumer app retired in April 2026 and the API shut down in September 2026), so its form is kept as a sunset note with no run-it destination. Both followed one continuous described shot best: subject, one action, camera movement, then mood.

What this route costs — and how to pay less

Cost structure: the two have diverged — Veo is bundled into Google's AI subscription plans and metered per second through the API, while Sora no longer exists as a purchasable service at any price. The same prompt is pre-configured in this library for every major model, so you can run it on whichever route fits your budget — comparing the structures before you generate is a free way to save money.

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