How do I move a Sora ad prompt?
Step 1: keep the brief (product, hook, shot list, length and sound plan).
Step 2: re-make one shot on Seedance 2.5 and check the product, motion and sound.
Step 3: when that shot passes, make the rest.
Renderforest's Sora guide (updated September 2026) maps the same jobs: directed multi-shot work to Seedance 2.5, speaking characters to Kling 3.0, cinematic shots with audio to Veo 3.1.
