TL;DR

Both are strong next‑gen video models with long‑form consistency and better controllability.
Observed tendencies from public material:
- Sora 2: stable physical plausibility (occlusion/reflections/cloth/fluids) and natural long shots;
- VEO 3: crisp commercial sharpness and confident handling of high‑contrast materials and faster motion.
Always A/B on your assets; availability/pricing depend on your provider.

Dimensions That Matter

Physical realism: Sora 2 often feels smoother on occlusions/reflections/volumetrics; VEO 3 emphasizes edge clarity and clean highlights.
Long‑form consistency: both improved vs early models; Sora 2 feels especially natural in continuous moves.
Controllability: both respond well to cinematography terms; Sora 2 reacts reliably to camera+physics cues; VEO 3 is friendly to clean commercial framing/sharpness.
Style coverage: both broad; Sora 2 for cinematic realism; VEO 3 for product‑centric, high‑contrast looks.
Throughput/cost: queue and quota dependent—benchmark with 10–20 samples.

Prompt Patterns (Text‑to‑Video)

Sora 2 (physics + camera)

Rainy city at night; handheld steady, 35mm shallow DoF, low‑angle slow push;
Backlight + neon reflections, slight haze; photoreal, cool cinematic grade;
Rule of thirds, foreground lamppost passes; end on freeze; 16:9.

VEO 3 (commercial clarity + materials)

{Product} on seamless gray set; steady or slider slow push;
Side + rim light, natural metallic highlights and glass refraction;
Clean commercial style, cool tone, high contrast; right‑side negative space; end on logo close‑up; 16:9.

Image‑to‑Video Tips

Sora 2: prioritize subject consistency; use text for camera/motion (slow push/orbit/steady).
VEO 3: emphasize material keywords (highlights/refraction/reflections) plus clean commercial grading.
