Ship policy-safe Sora videos

Structure prompts and production workflows that stay within OpenAI guidelines without watering down your concept.

Audit your concept for restricted elements

Review the OpenAI use policy before you draft a storyboard. Flag any mentions of violence, politics, or real people so you can swap them for fictional, policy-compliant references.

  • Replace celebrity likenesses with archetypes or custom loras from your asset library.
  • Adjust action beats to imply intensity instead of depicting graphic harm.
  • Use fictional brand names and logos unless you have authorization on file.

Draft structured prompts with safety guardrails

Compose prompts that focus on tone, camera work, and environment instead of potentially sensitive subject matter.

  1. Lead with a short synopsis in neutral language.
  2. Add visual style notes, lighting, and camera moves as separate sentences.
  3. Append a “Policy notes” line (e.g., "No real people, non-violent, PG-rated") so the model stays aligned.

Upload approved reference assets

Keep a folder of cleared reference stills, audio, and logos. Attach them when prompting so Sora learns from safe examples.

  • Leverage brand kit uploads instead of scraping web images.
  • Use AI-generated storyboards or concept art that already passed moderation.
  • Share asset libraries with collaborators to reduce duplicate reviews.

Use alternative models for sensitive shots

If a scene keeps getting blocked, switch that shot to Kling, SeeDance, or Hailuo and reimport the render into your Sora timeline.

  • Maintain consistent art direction by copying your prompt, aspect ratio, and camera specs.
  • Use CutScene’s sequence editor to mix clips from multiple models without breaking continuity.
  • Document which model produced each shot to streamline approvals.

Submit for moderation with context

When you export, include production notes that explain fictional elements and brand permissions.

  • Attach a policy checklist with each deliverable.
  • Log moderation outcomes inside CutScene so future projects inherit the same best practices.
  • Schedule buffer time for resubmissions in case reviewers request revisions.
