How to Use Higgsfield Katana and Claude for Motion Design

Higgsfield Katana

Recreates a reference video edit using your own characters, products, or clothing, and matches its shots, pacing, cuts, typography, and timing

Claude Motion

Turns text, charts, diagrams, and images into editable animated explainers. It writes animation code and generates no AI footage

Claude Code

Writes custom animation code with tools like GSAP, HyperFrames, or Remotion

Higgsfield has not spelled out how Katana and Claude Motion relate, so treat them as separate tools that you can combine.

Katana supplies the footage. Claude supplies the graphics and the precision.

• In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and add the Higgsfield connector
• Sign in with an active Higgsfield subscription, with no API key required
• Type /katana to browse the preset catalog
• Or just ask for an edit, such as a product promo

• A reference edit: a video of your own or a preset, used with permission
• Up to five photos of characters, products, or clothing
• Optional notes: the hero shot, or anything that must not change
• Photos uploaded through the Higgsfield upload window, not attached in chat

The result copies the reference’s duration, aspect ratio, and frame rate.

Claude Motion has been in beta on Team and Enterprise plans since October 8, 2026. Type /motion, or pick Motion as the output, then supply your text, chart, or images. Export to MP4.

Katana

Hero shots, product reveals, character edits, and trend-style cuts

Claude Motion

Kinetic titles, animated charts, step-by-step diagrams, and end cards

Claude Code

Custom motion systems, animated logos, and reusable templates

• Plan the piece in Claude: message, length, scenes, and style
• Generate the footage scenes in Katana
• Build the title, data, and end-card scenes in Claude Motion
• Align fonts, colors, and pacing across both
• Assemble it all in an editor or a code-based video tool
• Add music and sound effects, then export

Rebuild this reference edit using my product from the photos. Keep the cuts on the beat, make the close-up at 0:04 the hero shot, and keep the label legible in every shot.

Create a 10-second animated end card. Our logo scales in, the headline “Now in 4K” types on one letter at a time, and a call to action fades up. Navy background, white type, smooth ease-out, 9:16.

• One or two fonts
• A tight color palette
• Matching easing and speed in every scene
• A single transition style
• Text sizes legible on phones

• Request Katana changes in plain chat, and it regenerates only the affected shots
• Edit Claude Motion scenes word by word without rebuilding the rest
• Check every frame of text and numbers before you export

• Katana draws on your Higgsfield plan credits, and Claude shows the cost before every generation
• Fixes that require new generations cost extra
• Claude Motion counts against your Claude plan’s usage limits

• Use only reference edits you own or are permitted to use
• Use only faces you are permitted to use
• Use licensed music and fonts
• Label realistic AI footage wherever platforms require it
