Starts from a reference edit
Upload a video you own or have permission to use, or pick a preset from the Katana library. The reference decides the shot structure, timing and overall look of the result.

Higgsfield Katana cases, presets and guide
Higgsfield Katana is an AI video editing skill for Claude, released by Higgsfield on October 8, 2026. You give it a reference edit and up to five photos, and it rebuilds the edit with your own people, products or clothes. This site collects 25 Katana videos — official demos and library presets — so you can see what it makes before you spend credits.
Independent site — not run by, affiliated with or endorsed by Higgsfield AI or Anthropic. Videos belong to Higgsfield and to the preset creators credited on each card.
What Higgsfield Katana does
Katana is not a text-to-video generator. It copies the structure of an edit you already like — the cuts, pacing, framing and effects — and fills it with your own subjects. Here is what goes in and what comes out, according to Higgsfield's own Katana guide.
Up to five photos
Add up to five photos of the people, products or clothing that should appear in the edit. Optional instructions tell Katana what to keep and what to change.
Three kinds of presets
The Katana library is split into Personalized edits, Style transfer and Motion transfer. Presets come from Higgsfield and from the community, and anyone can publish one.
Runs inside Claude
Katana works through the Higgsfield connector (MCP) in claude.ai or Claude Desktop, and Higgsfield labels it "powered by Claude Motion". Results appear in the chat and in your Higgsfield Assets.
Output follows the reference
In Higgsfield's test the result was an MP4 with the same duration, aspect ratio and frame rate as the reference. You don't set these separately in Claude.
Fix shots by chatting
Ask Claude to change a shot, swap a photo or adjust a detail in a normal message. In Higgsfield's test only the affected shots were regenerated.
Higgsfield Katana cases
Nine picks from our gallery of 25 videos. The two official clips come from Higgsfield's Katana page; the rest are presets published to the Katana library and credited to the creators who shared them. A preset is the reference edit Katana rebuilds with your photos.

Katana launch reel
Higgsfield's own reel from the Katana page: one music-video style edit played again and again with different people swapped in — the cuts, framing, lens flashes and titles stay the same.

Outfit Check
A vertical "which outfit?" edit: one woman in several looks, large red and black captions, cut-out outlines and changing city backdrops.

Face Edit 2
A surreal portrait in a sunlit desert: a giant curled hairstyle, "detecting" scan overlays, orange colour flashes and magenta captions.

Face Edit 1
The same structure as Face Edit 2 with a different character: a muscular, long-haired figure against a twilight sky. Compare the two to see how one edit carries over to a new subject.

A photocopy look: grainy black-and-white footage with a single red accent — a soda can, a BMX rider, a cat — and stacked "STATIC" type.

One basketball player cloned across the frame: crossover, spin and dunk laid out as a motion trail, with "Every move stays. Leave a trail." type.

How to make a Katana edit in Claude
Katana lives in Claude, not in a standalone app. You can start from the Katana page on higgsfield.ai or from a Claude chat with the Higgsfield connector installed. Either way it comes down to four steps.
- 01
Connect Higgsfield to Claude
In claude.ai or Claude Desktop, open Settings → Connectors, add a custom connector named Higgsfield with the URL https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp, then sign in to your Higgsfield account. No API key is needed, but an active Higgsfield subscription is.
- 02
Pick the reference
Choose a preset from the Katana library, or upload your own edit as a file. A direct link to a media file also works; Instagram or TikTok profile links don't.
- 03
Add your photos
Upload up to five photos of the characters, products or clothing you want in the edit, plus optional instructions. Claude shows the exact credit cost on a card before anything is generated.
- 04
Recreate and refine
Katana generates the edit and shows it in the chat with a preview and a download button; it is also saved to your Higgsfield Assets. Send follow-up messages to change shots or swap photos.
Katana commands in Claude
/katana— opens the preset catalog in the chat./katana/<preset-name>— runs one specific preset.- Or ask in plain words, for example "make an edit of my product" — Katana starts without a command.
Katana access and cost
Katana has no price list of its own. It runs on your Higgsfield plan, and Higgsfield hasn't published a fixed credit cost per edit.
- Who can use it
- Anyone with an active Higgsfield subscription and a Claude account that can add a custom connector. Higgsfield's guide does not name a specific Claude plan.
- What it spends
- Credits from your existing Higgsfield plan — the same account and balance as higgsfield.ai. There is no separate MCP billing and no markup.
- Price per edit
- Not published. Before each generation Claude shows a card with the exact credit cost; corrections that need new generations can add to it.
- Where results go
- Into the Claude chat, with a preview and a download button, and into your Higgsfield Assets.
- Reference videos
- Higgsfield asks you to use a reference edit you own or have permission to use.

FAQ
Katana FAQ
Short answers to what people ask about Katana, based on Higgsfield's own guide, changelog and launch post.
What is Higgsfield Katana?
Higgsfield Katana is a video editing skill for Claude, released by Higgsfield on October 8, 2026. It takes a reference edit plus up to five photos and rebuilds the edit with your own characters, products or clothing. Higgsfield's changelog says it makes edits in Aura Farming, Motion or Clipping styles.
How much does Higgsfield Katana cost?
Katana has no price of its own. It uses credits from your Higgsfield subscription, and Claude shows the exact credit cost of each generation before it runs. Higgsfield has not published a fixed cost per edit, and plans differ by region.
Do I need a paid Claude plan to use Katana?
Higgsfield's guide doesn't name one. You need a Claude account where you can add a custom connector (Settings → Connectors) and an active Higgsfield subscription. No API key is required.
What can I upload to Higgsfield Katana?
A reference edit — your own video file or a library preset — and up to five photos of people, products or clothing, plus optional instructions. Use a reference you own or have permission to use.
How long is a Katana video, and in what format?
In Higgsfield's test the result was an MP4 with the duration, aspect ratio and frame rate of the reference, so a 12-second vertical reference gives a 12-second vertical edit. These settings can't be changed separately in Claude.
Can I paste a TikTok or Instagram link as the reference?
No. Higgsfield says links to Instagram or TikTok profiles are not accepted and the reference has to be uploaded as a file. A direct link to a media file does work.
How do I publish my own Katana preset?
Use Publish preset on the Katana page. A community preset needs a 3 to 30 second video for the motion, up to 40 images, and a prompt that mentions those images with @. Shared presets go live right away and can be removed after reports.
What is the difference between Katana and Genjutsu?
Both are Higgsfield skills that run in the same Claude chat and share the same Assets. Katana rebuilds a whole edit from a reference; Genjutsu does motion transfer and object swap on a video.
Is higgsfieldkatana.com the official Katana site?
No. This is an independent gallery and guide, not run by or affiliated with Higgsfield AI or Anthropic. To use Katana, go to higgsfield.ai/katana or use the Higgsfield connector in Claude.
