## 3. Each Platform Deep Dive

- **Sora 2:** OpenAI, ChatGPT integrated, GPT-4o + T5 text encoder, native audio, multi-shot storyboards
- **Runway Gen-4:** Most complete tool suite (Motion Brush, Director Mode, Act One), commercial pipeline standard
- **Kling 2.0:** Kuaishou (China), photoreal human + hand detail leader, KVKK risky

## 4. Alternatives

Luma Dream Machine, Pika 2.0, Veo 3 (Google), MiniMax Hailuo, Mochi 1 (Apache 2.0 self-host), LTXVideo (Lightricks), Open-Sora (HPC-AI).

## 5. Video Prompt Engineering

Cinematography terms essential: shot type (wide, close-up), camera movement (dolly, pan, orbit), motion timing, lighting, aspect ratio.

## 6. KVKK Risk Matrix

- Sora/Runway/Veo 3: medium risk (US/EU DPA)
- Kling/Hailuo: HIGH RISK (China)
- Mochi/LTXVideo self-host: ZERO RISK (100% compliant)

## 7. Conclusion

Three leaders in different niches. Recommended Turkish stack: Sora 2 (ChatGPT Pro $200) + Runway Pro ($35) + DaVinci Resolve. Avoid Kling/Hailuo for KVKK-sensitive work.
