How Katana AI Fits Into Your Claude Workflow
Hand this Higgsfield skill a reference edit, up to five photos and a few optional notes, and Katana AI returns a rebuilt video right in the Claude chat and in Assets.
- Swap In Your Own Cast and ProductsDrop in a clip or a preset, add as many as five photos of the faces, items or outfits you want on screen, and Katana AI places them into those very same cuts.
- No Second Bill: Same Higgsfield CreditsEvery render draws on the plan you already pay for, with no separate invoice and no connector markup for working inside Claude.
- Start on the Katana Page or Straight in ChatFill in the short form at higgsfield.ai/katana, or simply type /katana, /katana/<preset-name>, or describe the edit you want in plain language.
Three Steps to a Rebuilt Edit with Katana AI
Pick a reference, load your photos, then polish the outcome without ever leaving the conversation.
What Katana AI Controls Behind the Scenes
From shot structure to credit cost, here is what Katana AI manages while it rebuilds your edit, plus the Higgsfield tools that sit right beside it.
Shot Structure, Pacing and Cut Timing
The reference dictates shot order, timing and where the beats drop, while the photos you attach decide who and what appears in every frame.
A Preset Library Sorted by Style and Source
Presets are ready-made references organised by category (Personalized edits, Style transfer, Motion transfer) and by origin, whether Higgsfield or the Community.
Publish Your Own Preset to the Community
On the Katana page, creators can share a preset by uploading a 3–30 second motion clip, up to 40 images, and a prompt that tags each one with @.
Output Matches the Reference's Format
Our test came back as an MP4 at the reference's duration, aspect ratio and frame rate, stored in Assets with a preview and a download button.
Pairs with Genjutsu in One Conversation
Genjutsu's Motion Transfer and Object Swap share the same chat and Assets, so a clip from either one can become the other's starting point.
Credit Cost Shown Before You Commit
A cost card appears in Claude before anything runs, and asking for fresh renders, fixes included, can raise the final total.
What is Katana AI? Your Questions Answered
Straight answers on how Katana AI behaves inside Claude, which files it accepts, and what it actually costs to run.
So what is Katana AI, and what does it really do?
Treat it as a shortcut editor living in Claude: hand over a clip or preset to copy plus photos of who or what belongs on screen, and it returns a matching cut.
Will I need an API key or another subscription?
Neither. Install the Higgsfield connector once under Claude's Settings → Connectors with the MCP server link, sign in with your Higgsfield account, and you are set; a paid plan is required.
What can I upload as a reference?
A video file or a preset from the library, added through the Higgsfield window in the chat or imported from a direct media link. Profile links from Instagram or TikTok will not work.
Is there an extra charge for using it in Claude?
No. It spends the credits already included in your Higgsfield plan, with no separate bill and no MCP markup, though allowances differ by region and tier.
Can I still adjust the video once it is done?
Yes. Send follow-up notes in Claude to alter a shot, replace a photo or tweak a detail. Renders that need new generations may cost extra credits, and moderation can decline some requests.
Can I share my own preset with the library?
You can. Publishing happens on the Katana page: upload a motion clip of 3 to 30 seconds, up to 40 images, and a prompt tagging them with @, and it goes live right away.
Hook Up Higgsfield in Claude and Put Katana AI to Work
