Workflow outlined in the video

1. Select and clip a target reference video containing desired camera movement and shot framing.
2. Take static screenshots of the original characters in the reference clip.
3. Generate replacement character reference sheets in ChatGPT using style and color prompts.
4. Feed the character screenshots and replacement images into Claude to produce a formatted Higgsfield Genjutsu replacement prompt.
5. Upload the reference video and new character image sheets into Higgsfield Genjutsu and confirm all files finish loading.
6. Paste the Claude prompt into Higgsfield Genjutsu, verify auto-tags align with image and video references, select resolution (e.g., 720p), and initiate generation.
