5 Common Mistakes in Sora Video Generation — 90% of People Fall For

Avoid these 5 fatal mistakes and Sora-generated video quality will improve 500% — no deformed objects, jitter, or physically impossible scenes.

✅ Mistakes You Must Avoid

1. ❌ Mistake: Requesting "4K" or "8K" → Sora auto-downgrades resolution; use "1080p 60fps" instead
2. ❌ Mistake: Adding forbidden words like "6 fingers" or "monster face" → this actually makes the model deliberately generate them
3. ❌ Mistake: Making the video both "realistic" and "fantastical" → style conflict produces distorted visuals
4. ❌ Mistake: Only describing static scenes → must add dynamic changes like "move from left to right" or "lighting changes"
5. ❌ Mistake: Using abbreviations or slang → the model won't understand accurately; use formal descriptions instead
