--- name: sora description: | Generate videos from text prompts or reference images using OpenAI Sora. ✅ USE WHEN: - Need AI-generated video from text description - Want image-to-video (animate a still image) - Creating cinematic/artistic video content - Need motion/animation without lip-sync ❌ DON'T USE WHEN: - Need lip-sync (person speaking) → use veed-ugc or ugc-manual - Just need image generation → use nano-banana-pro or morpheus - Editing existing videos → use Remotion - Need UGC-style talking head → use veed-ugc INPUT: Text prompt + optional reference image OUTPUT: MP4 video (various resolutions/durations) --- # Sora Video Generation Generate videos using OpenAI's Sora API. ## API Reference **Endpoint:** `POST https://api.openai.com/v1/videos` ### Parameters | Parameter | Values | Description | |-----------|--------|-------------| | `prompt` | string | Text description of the video (required) | | `input_reference` | file | Optional image that guides generation | | `model` | `sora-2`, `sora-2-pro` | Model to use (default: sora-2) | | `seconds` | `4`, `8`, `12` | Video duration (default: 4) | | `size` | `720x1280`, `1280x720`, `1024x1792`, `1792x1024` | Output resolution | ### Important Notes - **Image dimensions must match video size exactly** - the script auto-resizes - Video generation takes 1-3 minutes typically - Videos expire after ~1 hour - download immediately ## Usage ```bash # Basic text-to-video uv run ~/.clawdbot/skills/sora/scripts/generate_video.py \ --prompt "A cat playing piano" \ --filename "output.mp4" # Image-to-video (auto-resizes image) uv run ~/.clawdbot/skills/sora/scripts/generate_video.py \ --prompt "Slow dolly shot, steam rising, warm lighting" \ --filename "output.mp4" \ --input-image "reference.png" \ --seconds 8 \ --size 720x1280 # With specific model uv run ~/.clawdbot/skills/sora/scripts/generate_video.py \ --prompt "Cinematic scene" \ --filename "output.mp4" \ --model sora-2-pro \ --seconds 12 ``` ## Script Parameters | Flag | Description | Default | |------|-------------|---------| | `--prompt`, `-p` | Video description (required) | - | | `--filename`, `-f` | Output file path (required) | - | | `--input-image`, `-i` | Reference image path | None | | `--seconds`, `-s` | Duration: 4, 8, or 12 | 8 | | `--size`, `-sz` | Resolution | 720x1280 | | `--model`, `-m` | sora-2 or sora-2-pro | sora-2 | | `--api-key`, `-k` | OpenAI API key | env var | | `--poll-interval` | Check status every N seconds | 10 | ## API Key Set `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable or pass `--api-key`. ## Prompt Engineering for Video ### Good prompts include: 1. **Camera movement**: dolly, pan, zoom, tracking shot 2. **Motion description**: swirling, rising, falling, shifting 3. **Lighting**: golden hour, candlelight, dramatic rim lighting 4. **Atmosphere**: steam, particles, bokeh, haze 5. **Mood/style**: cinematic, commercial, lifestyle, editorial ### Example prompts: **Food commercial:** ``` Slow dolly shot of gourmet dish, soft morning sunlight streaming through window, subtle steam rising, warm cozy atmosphere, premium food commercial aesthetic ``` **Lifestyle:** ``` Golden hour light slowly shifting across mountains, gentle breeze rustling leaves, serene morning atmosphere, premium lifestyle commercial ``` **Product shot:** ``` Cinematic close-up, dramatic lighting with warm highlights, slow reveal, luxury commercial style ``` ## Workflow: Image → Video 1. Generate image with Nano Banana Pro (or use existing) 2. Pass image as `--input-image` to Sora 3. Write prompt describing desired motion/atmosphere 4. Script auto-resizes image to match video dimensions ## Output - Videos saved as MP4 - Typical file size: 1.5-3MB for 8 seconds - Resolution matches `--size` parameter
