What Is Sora 2, and Why Bother with Prompting?

Sora 2 builds on the original Sora by cranking up realism, controllability, and audio integration. It can whip up 10-second vertical videos (perfect for social feeds) with dialogue, sound effects, and ambient noise that syncs flawlessly. Think cinematic shots, anime vibes, or hyper-realistic scenes where objects obey gravity like a basketball actually bouncing off the backboard instead of phasing through it. Prompting is the secret sauce here. Unlike basic image gens, Sora 2 thrives on detailed yet concise descriptions. Nail your prompt, and you get pro-level output. Fumble it, and you might end up with wonky physics or mismatched audio. Good news: It's easier than you think once you get the rhythm.
