❌ Wrong: "Create violent fight scene"
✅ Correct: "Create action sports scene like parkour"

Prompt checklist:

  • ⚠️ Avoid violence, gore, weapon-related descriptions
  • ⚠️ Don't include real person names (public figures)
  • ⚠️ Avoid political, religious sensitive content
  • ⚠️ Don't request NSFW content generation

Solution Method 3: Segmented Generation Strategy

If generating long videos (10-20 seconds) always fails, try:

  1. First generate 5-second clip to test success
  2. After confirming prompt works increase to 10 seconds
  3. Use video extension feature to expand duration in segments

Practical example:

Step 1: "A cat walking in garden, 5 seconds"
Step 2: Click generated video → "Extend video" → generate another 5 seconds
Step 3: Repeat extension until target duration reached

Solution Method 4: Switch Browser and Clear Cache

Recommended browser configuration:

Browser Rating Notes
Chrome ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best compatibility
Edge ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chromium-based, good stability
Safari ⭐⭐⭐ Available for macOS users, occasional compatibility issues
Firefox ⭐⭐ Some plugins may interfere with generation

3.4 How to Judge When to Retry

Criteria:

  • ⏱️ After waiting 5 minutes with no progress → Refresh page and retry
  • ⏱️ Progress bar stuck at 80%+ for over 3 minutes → Likely failed, regenerate
  • ⏱️ Displays "Server error" → Retry immediately, usually succeeds on 2nd-3rd attempt

Retry best practices:

  1. Don't retry rapidly in succession (space at least 30 seconds)
  2. If 3 consecutive failures, modify prompt before trying again
  3. Peak period failure rate is high, recommend off-peak usage

IV. Error 3: Video Quality Below Expectations

4.1 Error Symptoms

Typical symptoms:

  • Generated video is blurry or has obvious defects
  • Object movement is unnatural, appears distorted
  • Lighting effects are unrealistic
  • Large discrepancy from prompt description
  • Unexpected elements appear in the frame

Frequency: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Primary factor affecting user satisfaction)

4.2 Root Cause

Although Sora 2 is currently the most advanced AI video generation model, it still has limitations:

  • Insufficient physics understanding: Such as water flow, gravity, collisions
  • Detail consistency challenges: Maintaining details (faces, fingers) without deformation over time
  • Complex scene difficulty: Multiple subjects moving simultaneously prone to errors
  • Prompt interpretation deviation: AI understanding of certain descriptions differs from humans

4.3 Complete Solutions

Optimization Strategy 1: Use High-Quality Prompt Structure

Standard prompt formula:

[Subject] + [in scene] + [doing action] + [camera movement] + [style/atmosphere] + [technical parameters]

Low-quality vs high-quality comparison:

❌ Low-quality: "A dog running"
✅ High-quality: "A golden retriever running through autumn forest,
camera follows in tracking shot, warm afternoon sunlight,
cinematic style, shallow depth of field"

Quality enhancement keywords:

  • Image quality: 4K, high resolution, sharp focus, detailed
  • Lighting: golden hour lighting, soft shadows, volumetric light
  • Camera: cinematic, professional camera work, smooth tracking
  • Style: photorealistic, film grain, color grading

Optimization Strategy 2: Avoid Scenes AI Struggles With

Scenes prone to errors:

Scene Type Error Manifestation Alternative Solution
Hand close-ups Wrong finger count, deformation Avoid hand close-ups, use medium shots
Water flow Unnatural flow, physics violations Use static water surfaces or simple ripples
Multi-person interaction Character overlap, uncoordinated actions Focus on single subject, others as background
Fast movement Blurry frames, tearing Reduce movement speed, use slow-motion description
Transparent objects Glass, water rendering errors Use solid objects instead

Practical advice:

  • ✅ First generation use simple scenes to test effectiveness
  • ✅ After confirming model understands your prompt, add complex elements
  • ✅ If certain element consistently errors, try removing from prompt

Optimization Strategy 3: Use Reference Images (Image-to-Video)

Sora 2 supports uploading reference images, which can significantly improve video quality:

Steps:

  1. Click "Upload image" in Sora 2 interface
  2. Upload image you want as first frame
  3. Describe movement direction and manner in prompt
  4. Generate video

Image-to-video prompt example:

"Camera slowly zooms in on the subject,
gentle wind blowing through hair,
maintaining the composition and lighting of the reference image"

Advantages:

  • ✅ More controllable frame composition and color tone
  • ✅ Clearer subject details (faces, products)
  • ✅ Suitable for scenarios requiring precise visual style

Optimization Strategy 4: Iterative Optimization Workflow

3-step iteration method:

  1. 1st generation: Use basic prompt, observe which elements are correct
  2. 2nd generation: Keep correct elements, modify incorrect part descriptions
  3. 3rd generation: Add style and technical parameters, refine details

Real case:

Version 1 Prompt:
"A woman walking in city"
Result: Blurry figure, monotonous background

Version 2 Prompt:
"A young woman in red coat walking on busy city street, afternoon"
Result: Figure clearer, but stiff movements

Version 3 Prompt:
"A young woman in red coat naturally walking on busy city street,
camera tracking shot at eye level, warm afternoon sunlight,
cinematic color grading, shallow depth of field"
Result: Achieves professional level ✅

Optimization Strategy 5: Use Professional Prompt Tools

🎯 Efficiency recommendation: If you need to batch generate high-quality videos, we recommend using API platforms with prompt optimization support, such as APIYI at apiyi.com. The platform provides prompt enhancement features that automatically add technical parameters and style descriptions, improving first-generation success rate.

V. Error 4: Unable to Control Video Duration

5.1 Error Symptoms

5.2 Root Cause

Sora 2's duration control mechanism doesn't fully align with user intuition:

  • Default duration: 5 seconds (if not specified)
  • Maximum duration: 20 seconds (single generation)
  • Duration specification method: Must be clearly described in prompt

5.3 Complete Solutions

Method 1: Explicitly Specify Duration in Prompt

Standard format:

"[Your scene description], duration: 10 seconds"

Practical examples:

✅ "A drone flying over beach at sunset, duration: 15 seconds"
✅ "Time-lapse of clouds moving across sky, 20 seconds"
✅ "Close-up of coffee being poured, slow motion, 8 seconds"

Duration selection recommendations:

Use Case Recommended Duration Reason
Social media shorts 5-10 seconds Aligns with platform recommended length
Advertisement clips 10-15 seconds Sufficient to showcase product features
Tutorial demonstrations 15-20 seconds Can completely demonstrate one operation
Atmosphere shots 8-12 seconds Suitable for editing insertion

Method 2: Use Video Extension Feature

If you need videos longer than 20 seconds:

  1. First generate 20-second base clip
  2. Click generated video → select "Extend"
  3. Describe subsequent movement or scene changes
  4. Generate additional 10-20 second extension clip
  5. Download and splice with editing software

Extension prompt example:

Original video: "Car driving through city, 20 seconds"
Extension prompt: "Car continues driving, enters highway, 15 seconds"

Method 3: Segmented Generation Then Edit

Applicable scenarios: Need videos 1+ minutes long

Workflow:

  1. Divide script into 3-5 twenty-second segments
  2. Generate video for each segment
  3. Use Final Cut Pro/Premiere/CapCut for editing and splicing
  4. Add transitions to ensure continuity

Advantages:

  • ✅ Each segment can be finely controlled for quality
  • ✅ Can individually regenerate any unsatisfactory segment
  • ✅ Can add subtitles, music and other elements during editing

VI. Error 5: Abnormally Fast Cost Consumption

6.1 Error Symptoms
