10-Second Cinematic Short.
One continuous shot of a tipping teacup
All three examples use the same action and camera for platform-specific adaptation. Ten seconds is the edit target; check available lengths and audio modes separately. Sora has been discontinued, so the examples use tools with documented model references.

Shared brief
A clear teacup slowly tips once on a wooden desk and spills a small amount of tea; warm window light from the left, an eye-level medium close-up and a locked camera with no cuts; a 10-second final edit.

Writing approach
Describe the scene, action, camera and intended sound separately.
English prompt example
A single cinematic shot of a clear glass teacup on a wooden desk. The cup slowly tips once and a small amount of tea spills onto the desk. Warm soft window light from the left, medium close-up at eye level, locked camera, natural motion, no cuts and no music. Intended sound: a small clink and liquid hitting wood. Intended final edit: 10 seconds.Setup and use
Check supported duration, audio and input modes on the target platform. Ten seconds is the edit target, not a duration guaranteed by the prompt.
Watch for
- API documentation and consumer interfaces may offer different features.
- Inspect cup edges, liquid and temporal continuity, and listen for synchronization.

Writing approach
Limit the shot to one action, then add camera and sound requirements.
English prompt example

Warm soft window light from the left, medium close-up at eye level, locked camera, natural motion, no cuts and no music. Intended sound: a small clink and liquid hitting wood. Intended final edit: 10 seconds.Setup and use
Check the selected model, duration and audio mode. Do not apply old model limitations to the 3.0 family.
Watch for
- Check available modes and regional access on your platform.
- Review camera instructions and object interactions in the actual output.

Writing approach
For text-to-video, describe visuals and motion; for image-to-video, focus on motion.
English prompt example
A single cinematic shot of a clear glass teacup on a wooden desk. The cup slowly tips once and a small amount of tea spills onto the desk. Warm soft window light from the left, medium close-up at eye level, locked camera, natural motion, no cuts and no music. Intended sound: a small clink and liquid hitting wood. Intended final edit: 10 seconds.Setup and use
This is a text-to-video example. With a reference first frame, remove redundant visual descriptions and check the model and output length.
Watch for
- Audio, input and output specifications depend on the selected mode.
- A first-frame image cannot replace reviewing the complete video.
Copying does not submit a generation. Check the model, mode and available features on your target platform first.
Check the actual result
- The cup tips once, with no jumps in the rim or liquid.
- Camera, lighting and table positions remain continuous throughout.
- Measure the final length and play the whole clip; check synchronization if audio is present.
Choosing and checking
Keep the action simple. Inspect cup and liquid continuity before assessing sound and edit length. Without generation and full playback, these examples do not establish which model produces better video.
