Higgsfield Katana Guide

Higgsfield launched Katana on October 8, 2026, and calls it its most powerful AI video editing tool. It runs inside Claude, runs on Claude Motion, and connects through the Higgsfield MCP connector.

Katana lets you:

• Upload a reference image or video
• Add your own characters, products, or clothing
• Recreate the pacing, transitions, and style of the reference
• Build editable motion graphics
• Produce product launch videos and short-form edits
• Generate several versions from one setup

Borrow the rhythm of a great edit. Fill it with your own content.

• A Claude account with connector support
• A Higgsfield account with credits
• The Higgsfield connector, added in Claude
• A reference edit plus your own assets

Higgsfield has not named one required Claude plan or a per-edit credit cost. Claude Motion is itself a beta on Team and Enterprise plans, so confirm what your account supports.

• Go to Settings → Connectors in Claude
• Add a custom connector pointing to https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp
• Authorize your Higgsfield account
• Enter /katana in Claude

On managed company plans, an admin may have to approve the connector first.

• Choose an edit with the pacing and style you want
• Or begin with a community preset on Higgsfield’s Katana page
• Use only references you are allowed to learn from
• Never copy another creator’s footage, music, or characters

• Product photos or videos
• Your characters or brand assets
• Clothing or styling references
• Text and prompts that describe the result

Stick to assets you own or have permission to use.

One Katana setup can produce several versions. Compare them, keep the strongest direction, and build on it.

More versions do not always mean better ones. Choose one direction and refine it.

• Request specific changes from Claude
• Tune timing and transitions
• Change text and colors
• Swap in stronger assets
• Review every frame before export

Each generation through the Higgsfield connector spends Higgsfield credits, and nothing caps your spending by default.

Spend no more than [number] Higgsfield credits. Before each generation, show me the estimated cost and wait for my approval.

Higgsfield has not fully documented its export formats or which parts of the project structure survive export. Test the export you need before you promise a client an editable file.
