@HBCoop_ @runwayml Have you found a good way to avoid artifacts (like multiple figures or subjects showing up). I run into that sometimes when I have been using storyboards with Seedance 2.

[TimTodd @TimTodd]

Did they change the Cursor reference document after you posted this? Maybe they did?

When I looked at it: "Terminal commands need your approval by default. Review every command before letting the agent run it.

You can enable auto-approval if you accept the risk. We have an allowlist feature, but it's not a security guarantee. The allowlist is best-effort—bypasses are possible. Never use "Run Everything" mode, which skips all safety checks. You can manage allowlists for both terminal commands and MCP tools through the settings UI or ~/.cursor/permissions.json."

@danielfradin @gabeeegoooh So cool! Great job Daniel. I am looking forward to leveraging Images 2.0 together with video generation!

[TimTodd @TimTodd]

It was so great pouring myself into this one. Also, Seedance 2 is great.

@openingai_com Thanks! 😊🫶😊

[TimTodd @TimTodd]

I had fun creating this with Sora 2! :)

@SJinn_Agent Nice! You are always adding new capabilities. :)

[TimTodd @TimTodd]

@billpeeb Are stitched videos broken on PC? I can create them there and then post them, but if I try to play a stitched video I get a broken image link. It works fine on my mobile phone. I tried two different computers and I tried Edge, Comet, and Chrome. Non-stitched videos play fine.

@wltnwang This was with Sora 2 Pro, High resolution, 15 seconds.

[TimTodd @TimTodd]

Had this happen twice with this prompt. These generations both took a really long and then when it got to the end, they failed.

Character Description @timtodd.ivy: A radiant soul with a constellation of freckles and an effortless, warm presence, Ivy delivers optimism and curiosity through every word. Her tone is thoughtful yet playful—she smiles easily, speaks softly, and always hints at wonder just beyond the lights.
Format & Look Duration 15s; 180° shutter; digital capture with enhanced contrast for data visualization sequences; sharp grain on abstract elements; dreamlike quality when showing signal patterns; maintain photorealistic base with surreal data overlay.
Lenses & Filtration Shift from 28 mm to 50 mm for tighter framing; Black Pro-Mist 1/4 on closeups of @timtodd.ivy; minimal filtration on data visualization inserts for clarity.
Grade / Palette Increasing contrast as urgency builds. Highlights: intensifying blue-white with emergent red frequencies. Mids: cooler tones, reducing warmth. Blacks: deeper, more cinematic. New palette element: crimson red from anomaly signal creating color tension.
Lighting & Atmosphere Primary: pulsing red-blue light from holographic anomaly display. Secondary: harsh white emergency lighting beginning to strobe subtly. Atmosphere: increasing particle density suggesting environmental stress. Practical: multiple monitor screens creating crosslight on @timtodd.ivy's face.
Location & Framing Same observation deck (Interior of deep-space research station observation deck. Curved transparent aluminum viewport showing distant stars in background. Holographic 3D star maps float in mid-air. Technical workstations with multiple screens displaying astronomical data. The space feels both cutting-edge and lived-in—coffee cups, personal photos magnetically attached to surfaces) but camera positions shift to create increasing claustrophobia. Tighter framing. Abstract insert shots of pure data visualization—fractal patterns, quantum wave functions, impossible geometries that shouldn't exist.
Wardrobe / Props / Extras @timtodd.ivy: late 20s, constellation of freckles across nose and cheeks, practical deep-blue station jumpsuit with mission patches, auburn hair tied back in functional ponytail with loose strands floating in microgravity. Wedding band on left hand. Bare feet with grip socks. Her hair coming loose from ponytail as she works frantically, freckles more prominent under intense lighting. New props: emergency flashlight, comm device.
Sound Diegetic: the signal itself—a deep rhythmic pulse at 0.47 Hz mixed with mathematical harmonics, station alarm begin low warning chirps, faster keyboard interactions, @timtodd.ivy's breathing becoming more rapid, coffee bulb bumps against wall in background, fabric rustling as she moves quickly in microgravity.
Optimized Shot List (8 shots / 15s total)
0.15–0.17 — "White Flash Resolution" (28 mm, rack focus push-in) White screen from previous segment resolves into cascading streams of data flowing down multiple screens. Rack focus from foreground data to @timtodd.ivy's face in background, illuminated by shifting patterns. Her eyes scan rapidly, that playful curiosity replaced with intense focus. She leans closer to screens. Purpose: visual representation of information flood.
0.17–0.19 — "Pattern Recognition" (abstract visualization, slow rotate) Insert shot: Abstract visualization of the signal—a fractal pattern that resembles both mathematical equation and organic neural network. Pulsing red nodes connected by blue pathways. It rotates in 3D space impossibly smooth, mathematically perfect yet alive. Purpose: make the alien pattern memorable and beautiful.
0.19–0.21 — "The Mathematics" (50 mm, rapid montage closeups) Rapid montage: @timtodd.ivy's hands flying through equations in holographic space; close-up of her eyes darting left-right reading data; her fingers calculating on tablet screen with practiced speed; equations appearing and being dismissed. Despite intensity, her movements remain graceful, trained. Purpose: convey intellectual intensity and time passing.
0.21–0.23 — "First Doubt" (28 mm, medium floating shot) Medium shot. @timtodd.ivy stops, floating in microgravity, staring at the pattern. She brings her hand to her mouth, thinking. Her warm expression shifts—concern entering those optimistic features. She swallows hard, freckles catching red pulsing light. Whispers: "Oh my god..." Purpose: first moment of fear/doubt.
0.23–0.25 — "The Frequency Increases" (28 mm, wide with dolly back) Wide shot. All displays begin pulsing red in unison with the signal. The pattern is growing, spreading across her screens like a living thing. @timtodd.ivy backs away slightly in microgravity, one hand reaching for stability rail. Her optimism momentarily shaken by the reality before her. Purpose: escalate threat visually.
0.25–0.27 — "Realization Hits" (50 mm, close-up slow push) Close-up. @timtodd.ivy's face as understanding dawns. Her eyes widen, lips part softly. She looks at the pattern, then at Earth's direction, then back. That hint of wonder returns despite the fear. Freckles catch the red pulsing light creating otherworldly quality on her features. Speaks with realization: "It's not noise. It's language." Purpose: character realizes the implications.
0.27–0.28 — "The Message Revealed" (abstract insert, static) Insert: The chaotic pattern suddenly resolves into simple binary—clearly artificial, clearly communication. Numbers appear: a countdown timer beginning at 72:00:00. Purpose: clarify stakes—this is intentional contact.
0.28–0.30 — "Action Decision" (50 mm, medium close-up) Medium close-up. @timtodd.ivy sets her jaw, determination replacing fear. That warm presence returns—she was built for this moment. She reaches for the station-wide comm switch. Her hand is shaking slightly but moves with purpose. Grabs it firmly, speaks with quiet conviction: "It's a signal!" Purpose: protagonist commits to action.
Camera Notes (Why It Reads) Use fast cutting and dynamic reframing to convey mental intensity. Mix static locked shots of data with handheld movement tracking @timtodd.ivy. When showing abstract pattern, use slow elegant camera movements that contrast with her frantic analysis. Create visual rhythm with alternating tight/loose framing. Use rack focus to transition between data and human reaction. Keep @timtodd.ivy's humanity visible even in crisis—her grace under pressure.
Finishing Increase contrast and color saturation as segment progresses. Add subtle lens flares when red signal intensifies. Grain structure should intensify during abstract data visualization. Sound mix: allow the signal's pulse to become subliminal heartbeat underneath all other sounds. Create crescendo effect building to communication switch grab. @timtodd.ivy's voice should remain warm even in urgency—soft but certain.

[TimTodd @TimTodd]

@OpenAI Is there a prompting guide for Sora 2 storyboard? Especially one that goes into how to leverage ultra-detail? Should we include all details in every shot or can a lot of those details be loaded into the first scene?

[TimTodd @TimTodd]

@AskPerplexity Please create a video with the attached image where the video is a looping, animated memory-grid of 8 panels from the comic Echoes Unwoven: Threads of Regret. Each panel animates independently and in parallel, resembling interactive echo-memories. Apply cinematic lighting, moody atmosphere, and subtle looping motion to each. No voiceover. Slight film grain and audio-reactive visual flourishes welcome. Style is grounded sci-fi, emotional, melancholic. Below is per-panel animation guidance:

🔹 Panel 1 (Top-left: Cover Panel)

The woman breathes slowly, clutching the photo.

Blue memory threads glow and pulse upward around her in a hypnotic spiral.

Her hair subtly moves in an unseen breeze.

Loop the gentle spiraling of threads and ambient lighting flicker.

Title text subtly pulses.

🔹 Panel 2 (Top-right, left side)

A slow tracking shot shows her walking down a library aisle.

Soft particles float in the air.

Books emit faint glows as she passes.

Her hand reaches out and hovers over a memory photo.

Occasional flicker of her eye’s reflection in the polished floor.

🔹 Panel 3 (Top-right, right side)

Close-up on her eye: it dilates slowly as blue light flickers in.

Pulse of blue light flows from the photo she holds.

A soft “szzzt” effect with electrical flicker sparks once every few seconds.

🔹 Panel 4 (Second row, left: Flashback)

Rain falls outside the windshield.

Car wipers loop rhythmically.

She looks up at the road, determined.

A glowing thread coils slowly up her arm.

Her hand hovers near the steering wheel.

Flash of headlights approaches and fades.

🔹 Panel 5 (Second row, right: Present Memory Alteration)

She stands in the present, holding a photo.

The environment glitches subtly around her (echo instability).

Ghostly image of a car and two girls flickers briefly behind her.

Her lips move, silently mouthing “It worked.”

Loop gentle distortion around the memory frame.

🔹 Panel 6 (Bottom-left: Phone Call)

She holds a glowing phone to her ear.

Blue thread pulses down into the phone.

Her expression shifts between fear and hope.

Light flickers along the shelves behind her, like memory data syncing.

Text on phone screen cycles subtly between “LILA’S LOSS” and “INCOMING”.

🔹 Panel 7 (Bottom-middle: Alley Gate)

A neon sign saying “STAY TETHERED” pulses slowly.

She approaches the gate labeled “Closed for Construction”.

Wind pushes loose papers along the ground.

Security lights occasionally flicker.

Camera slowly drifts sideways to give parallax depth.

🔹 Panel 8 (Bottom-right: Vault Door)

Dim interior hall, she knocks three times.

The door creaks open. A man’s face is revealed.

He blinks. Shadows shift unnaturally.

Behind him, stairs descend into darkness.

Faint glowing graffiti on the wall: “3 Echoes Max. Know Your Cost.”

Light subtly pulses on the threshold, inviting entry.

Final render should look like a grid of 8 looping animated memory panels, each in parallel, resembling fragments of reconstructed history. The tone is moody, emotional, and mysteriously futuristic, akin to Blade Runner 2049 or Rememory.

[TimTodd @TimTodd]

@AskPerplexity Please create a video based on the first most popular ai news story last week.

[TimTodd @TimTodd]

@AskPerplexity
Please create a video given the attached image and following description. Two cloaked warriors—one man and one woman—stand amid sweeping desert dunes, their armor glinting under a pale sun. Wind whips through the sand, forming circular trails around them in slow, elegant motion. The woman's double-edged sword glints as she raises it defensively, eyes sharp and unyielding. The man beside her shifts slightly, cloak rippling as he scans the horizon. The camera slowly circles them counterclockwise, low-angle, capturing the gravity of their presence as sand whirls upward. Subtle sun rays cut through the haze. A faint heartbeat-like pulse underscores the moment. Motion Style: Epic, slow-motion cinematography with dramatic dust movement and dynamic cloak flow. Camera Movement: Slow orbiting dolly shot with slight tilt-up. Lighting: Warm desert glow with high contrast; volumetric light through sand particles. Audio (optional): Deep rumble of wind, faint echo of distant battle drums. Tone: Mysterious, powerful, mythic. Title Card at End: “Whispers of the Sandborne” — fades in with subtle shimmer effect over the final frame.
