1What the docs say
The Open-Sora repository documents a motion score, 4 by default, that is fed into the prompt, with a dynamic option that lets a scorer pick it. Image-to-video takes a prompt and a reference image, and a sample prompt describes a bird's-eye view. Named camera moves, cuts and negative prompts are not documented.
