Recently, quite a few friends have usedSora 2 and all say its video output is very solid.
Many friends have asked: why do videos casually made by some people become hits, while videos carefully made by oneself can't even get enough views for relatives to like them.
In my view, Sora 2 is one of the few AI video tools truly aimed at ordinary users. It doesn't compete on parameters or details, but onwild ideas, imagination, and entertainment value。
These past two days, I carefully studied many popular videos on the Sora 2 platform, and finally figured out the formula for hits. I've put together 3 unorthodox shortcuts for everyone!
01. Make clever use of Remix to produce videos faster than others
Sora 2's most appealing feature is not "generating from scratch," butthe public prompt ecosystem + Remix remixingThis feature is equivalent to others laying out the "secret to success" for you to learn from, directly lowering the barrier to derivative creation to zero.
We click into any hit video and can see that it publicly shares the complete prompt, including some camera parameters and style presets.
We can find that both the videos themselves and the derivative-creation data for this type of video are fairly considerable.
We only need to click Remix below the prompt, enter the details we want to change, and with one click we can get a video just like the hit.
Prompt: Transform the monkey into a fox.
As can be seen, in the video generated after Remix, the fox's movements are almost exactly the same as the monkey's in the original video. We only need to simply describe the scene we want to change, and there is no need to rack our brains over the prompt at all. Producing a video faster than others is as easy as pie!
02. Choose the right subject matter, and it comes with traffic and is easy to turn into a video
When scrolling through the S video platform community, Sister K found a pattern: out of every 10 hit videos, at least half areanimalsubject matter, and at least two of the rest areanimesubject matter.
On one hand, the S video platform has a high degree of fidelity in reproducing animal images; on the other hand, animals themselves are highly attractive and can quickly evoke users' emotional resonance.
Prompt: A chicken tied to a drone, the chicken is rapping that it doesn't want to be blown up.
For example, this video, with its absurd creativity plus fitting movements, made netizens associate it with hot memes such as "KFC," "flying chicken," and "drone chicken." There was a lot of interaction.
The S video platform has a high degree of compatibility with anime style, and anime subject matter is likewise prone to becoming a hit.
In particular, anime videos created by users in the Japanese region can connect with users even more. For example, the blogger "hakoniwa," whose videos are almost all filled with comments from netizens urging updates.
Of course, besides these two subject matters, the S video platform also strongly encourages diverse creation. And if you look carefully, you'll find that many bloggers with high view counts do not limit their videos to a single vertical niche.
For example, the blogger "Bassy1," whose creations include funny abstract videos, pets, realistic records, and many other types.
In fact, the key to becoming a hit lies in whether one can open up their wild ideas and unleash their imagination, while also having entertainment value and meme-playing ability. As long as you dare to break through and explore more, your content can stand out through creativity.
03. Cameo, digital avatars ride the traffic
Sister K also observed a type of blogger; they all use Cameo, embedding their own image into videos to act out all kinds of plots, such as exaggerated ones, abstract ones, and crossovers with big IPs...
Cameo's main gameplay is to record your personal face in the Sora app, then generate a corresponding AI digital human likeness, so that we can "appear on screen" when generating AI videos.
You can also authorize your digital human likeness to other people so you can shoot together.
Just like the blogger "iJustine," the classic pairing of a pink outfit + a piglet made many people in the comments laugh.
And this one too: the blogger integrated themselves into the LEGO world for an adventure, making everyone want to try putting themselves into a scene built from building blocks and indulge in a "Lilliputian adventure."
This type of video achieves a combination of "real-person intimacy" and "creative plot." It has the sense of a friend sharing daily life, and it also makes everyone willing to join in imitating and playing with the meme, further driving the spread of the video, so its traffic performance is very impressive.
04. Some Sharing
When talking about Sora 2's performance recently, it actually reveals very clearly what the AI video industry is like right now—it is so focused on comparing whose technology is more impressive that it forgets what ordinary users actually want.
Sora 2, like an AI version of Douyin, immediately put users' core needs out in the open through interaction data. To put it plainly, most people care more about whether AI can satisfy their wild ideas, and only after that do they look at whether the details are refined.
So I think Sora 2's real value may not be in making a "perfect tool," but in giving the whole industry a reminder: what users want to shoot and what they want to play with, and whether it can help them achieve it—that is what really has promise.
