- 00:00 ↗
Higgsfield Katana automates an entire multi-clip edit, unlike Genjutsu which replaces characters, props, or locations one single shot at a time.
- 02:02 ↗
Katana functions through Claude by installing the Higgsfield tool skill, allowing Claude to read and execute the editing instructions.
- 02:51 ↗
Typing `/katana` in Claude initiates the Katana tool interface, enabling users to choose community presets or upload original source footage and character sheets.
- 03:41 ↗
The workflow generates individual video segments according to a frame breakdown, costing 128 credits for an 8-second cut and 192 credits for a 12-second cut.
- 05:06 ↗
Once shots are generated with the new character, Katana analyzes individual frames to automatically re-edit and match the exact timing, cuts, and camera angles of the original reference video.
Workflow outlined in the video
- Log into Claude and link the Higgsfield skill through the browser installation prompt.
- Open a new Claude session and type `/katana` to launch the preset and upload interface.
- Select a community template preset or upload a custom reference video.
- Upload a character reference image, character sheet, or virtual influencer screen capture.
- Run the workflow and let Claude break down the shot list, generate the individual character-replaced clips, and assemble the final MP4 cut.
