What is Katana AI Doing Inside Your Claude Chat?
Hand Katana AI a reference clip, up to five photos and a short note on what to keep; it returns a fresh version of that edit in the chat, with a copy saved to Assets.
- Swap the Cast, Keep the CuttingUpload a clip you own or pick a library preset, add photos of the faces or products that should appear, and every shot comes back with your subjects in place.
- One Account, One Credit BalanceGeneration draws on the Higgsfield credits you already hold, so there is no second invoice and no surcharge for running it through Claude.
- Start on the Web Page or Straight in ChatUse the short three-field form on higgsfield.ai/katana, or simply type /katana, name a preset with /katana/<preset-name>, or describe the job in plain words inside Claude.
How Katana AI Turns a Reference Into Your Cut
Pick a reference, attach your photos, then polish the output with plain messages in the Claude thread.
What Katana AI Controls Behind the Scenes
From shot timing to preset categories, here is what shapes a rebuild — including output specs, credit warnings and the Higgsfield tools sharing the same conversation.
Shot Order, Pacing and Beat-Synced Cuts
The reference fixes the running order, each shot's length and where cuts land on the music; your photos decide which face or product occupies every frame.
Presets Sorted by Category and Origin
Ready-made references sit in the library, filed by category — Personalized edits, Style transfer, Motion transfer — and by who made them, Higgsfield or the community.
Publish Your Own Presets
On the Katana page, creators can share a preset by uploading a motion clip of 3–30 seconds, up to 40 images and a prompt that references them with @.
Output Mirrors the Reference's Format
Testing produced an MP4 that matched the source's length, aspect ratio and frame rate, stored in Assets with preview and download controls.
Runs Alongside Genjutsu in One Chat
Genjutsu's Motion Transfer and Object Swap use the same conversation and Assets, so a Genjutsu clip can feed a Katana rebuild, and the other way round.
Credit Cost Confirmed Before Generation
Claude shows a cost card before anything runs, and asking for extra renders — fixes included — will raise the final total.
What is Katana AI? Quick Answers Before You Start
Short answers on setup, accepted reference files, credit charges and how much you can change once a cut has been generated.
What is Katana AI actually good for?
Treat it as a remix shortcut living in Claude: you bring a clip or preset to copy and photos of the people or products you want on screen, and a matching edit comes back.
Is an API key or extra plan required?
No key is involved. Add the Higgsfield connector once under Settings → Connectors with the MCP server link, sign in with your Higgsfield account, and a paid plan is what unlocks it.
What can I upload as a reference?
Either a video file or a preset from the library — pushed through the Higgsfield panel in the chat, or pulled in from a direct link to the file itself. Profile URLs from Instagram or TikTok will not work.
Is there an extra charge for using it in Claude?
None. Spend comes out of the credits already on your Higgsfield plan, with no second bill and no connector surcharge, though plan sizes differ by region.
Can I edit the result once it is done?
Absolutely. Reply in the Claude thread to rework a shot, replace a photo or tweak a detail; anything that triggers new renders can cost extra credits, and moderation can still block a request.
Can I share my own preset with the library?
You can. Head to the Katana page, upload a 3–30 second motion clip plus up to 40 images, write a prompt that tags them with @, and the preset goes live right away.
Add Higgsfield to Claude and Put Katana AI to Work
Install the connector, drop in your first reference with up to five photos, or open the form at higgsfield.ai/katana to explore the preset library first. Setup notes for other agents live in the Help Center.
