1How the two differ

Leonardo Motion 2.0 reads “Commands or presets” on camera moves, while Open-Sora 2.0's docs say nothing about camera moves. Only Leonardo Motion 2.0 documents a negative prompt field. Leonardo Motion 2.0's docs use 10 of the site's camera words and Open-Sora 2.0's use 1, with none in common.

2The differing points, in the docs' words

How a camera move is asked for

Motion Controls are camera controls and visual effects that let you control the story in every video.

Open-Sora 2.0: the docs read do not cover this.

Shot sizes and angles in the docs

The camera angle provides a bird's eye view of the waterfall.

A negative prompt

Negative prompts can be inputted for Text to Video by enabling the Negative Prompt toggle found in Advanced Settings.
