01

Meet Restyle

Genjutsu Restyle redraws an entire video in a new visual style and keeps the original motion, timing, and camera work. Higgsfield launched it on September 30, 2026.

Same performance, new world: live action turns into animation in a single step.

02

See how it fits into Genjutsu

Motion Transfer
Places a new character into the movement
Object Swap
Replaces a single element
Restyle
Transforms the look of the entire video. It sits inside Motion Transfer as a styles option
03

Pick a style

  • Choose one of more than 20 animation styles
  • Upload a style reference of your own instead
  • Browse Higgsfield’s preset library for looks such as anime, claymation, and concept art

The style list can change, so check what is available in the app.

04

Check inputs and output

Source video
Between 4 and 30 seconds
Reference images
Up to 30 in the web app
Output
480p, 720p, or 1080p
05

Pick where to run it

  • The Higgsfield web app
  • The Higgsfield MCP connector, inside AI assistants
  • The Higgsfield API, for apps and workflows
06

Run it step by step

  • Open Genjutsu and select Motion Transfer
  • Upload the source video
  • Choose a style, or upload a style reference
  • Add a brief description to steer the details, if you like
  • Generate a 480p test
  • Render the final version at 1080p
07

Choose the right footage

  • Clear subjects with faces and hands in view
  • A steady camera or smooth moves
  • Good lighting
  • Simple backgrounds for cleaner output
  • Expressive movement, which animates especially well
08

Guide it with a short prompt

Hand-drawn anime look, soft pastel palette, clean line art, keeping the character’s outfit and expressions.

09

Try these use cases

  • Turn vlogs and dance clips into anime
  • Build animated music videos from live performances
  • Produce stylized ads from basic phone footage
  • Create storyboards and animatics from rough takes
  • Give a brand a signature animated look
10

Budget the costs

Restyle follows Genjutsu pricing. In September 2026, a 15-second Genjutsu clip cost 40 credits at 480p, 104 at 720p, and 144 at 1080p. Confirm current prices before you generate.

11

Respect rights

  • Restyle only footage you own or have permission to use
  • Get consent from everyone who appears in the video
  • Do not copy a specific studio’s or artist’s protected characters
  • Use style references you created or hold rights to

The golden rule

Do not restyle footage at random. Perform with intent, then let Restyle turn that performance into art.

  • Restyle
  • 20+ styles
  • Custom style
  • Footage
  • 1080p
  • Use cases
  • Rights

Film an expressive 10-second clip, then restyle it in two different looks and compare them.
