Higgsfield Canvas Tutorial: Build AI Stories Step by Step
Node-based canvas workflows allow working filmmakers to visually chain prompts and LLMs together to produce structured, multi-step AI stories.
What this lesson covers
This tutorial walks through building a complete cinematic story inside Higgsfield Canvas using a node-based workflow. It demonstrates how to set up prompt nodes, integrate LLM nodes for scriptwriting, and connect them for automated video generation.

- 00:00 ↗
Higgsfield Canvas provides a node-based system that allows creators to build video workflows step by step within a single connected interface.
- 01:00 ↗
Users can import free workflow templates into their dashboard, duplicate them, and deconstruct the underlying node structure.
- 02:45 ↗
Workflows begin with a user prompt establishing the core story idea, which can be paired with a system prompt for consistent formatting.
- 05:33 ↗
Large Language Model (LLM) nodes act as smart nodes that process text inputs based on system instructions to generate structured shot descriptions.
- 07:40 ↗
Creators can switch the underlying intelligence controlling the LLM node between different models like Claude Sonnet and GPT.
Workflow outlined in the video
- Open the Higgsfield Canvas dashboard and create a new project or load a template.
- Right-click on the canvas or use the add menu to create a prompt node.
- Input your core story idea into the user prompt box and add formatting instructions to a system prompt box.
- Add an LLM node to the workspace and link your prompt nodes to its corresponding input pins.
- Select your preferred language model brain (such as Claude Sonnet) and run the node to generate structured outputs.
