What Katana AI Adds to Your Claude Chat
Katana AI is a Higgsfield skill for Claude: hand it a reference edit, up to five photos and optional instructions, and it returns a rebuilt video in chat and Assets.
- Rebuild a Reference Edit with Your Own AssetsFeed it your own clip or a preset, plus five photos of the people or items you want on screen, and it puts your cast into the same cuts.
- Same Higgsfield Account and CreditsIt runs on Higgsfield models with your existing plan credits — no separate billing and no markup for using it inside Claude.
- Two Entry Points: the Katana Page or ClaudeStart from the three-field form on higgsfield.ai/katana, or type /katana, /katana/<preset-name>, or a plain request in Claude.
How Katana AI Rebuilds an Edit
Three steps: choose a reference, add your photos, then refine the result in the Claude chat.
Katana AI Features in the Claude Chat
What Katana AI controls while it rebuilds an edit: shot structure, presets, output format, credit cost and the Higgsfield tools sitting beside it.
Shot Structure, Pacing and Cut Timing
Your reference decides how shots are ordered and timed and where the beat drops line up, while the photos decide who and what fills each frame.
Preset Library by Category and Source
Presets are pre-built references grouped by category (Personalized edits, Style transfer, Motion transfer) and by origin (Higgsfield, Community).
Community Preset Publishing
From the Katana page, creators can publish a preset by supplying a short motion clip of 3–30 seconds, as many as 40 images, and a prompt tagging them with @.
Output Keeps the Reference's Format
In the test the result was an MP4 with the reference's duration, aspect ratio and frame rate, saved to Assets with a preview and download button.
Works Beside Genjutsu in the Same Chat
Genjutsu's Motion Transfer and Object Swap share the same chat and Assets, so its clip can become a Katana reference and the reverse.
Credit Cost Shown Before Every Generation
A cost card appears in Claude before you confirm anything, and requesting fresh generations — including fixes — can push the total higher.
What is Katana AI? Common Questions
Quick answers on how Katana AI works inside Claude, which files it accepts, and what it costs.
What is Katana AI and what does it actually do?
Think of it as an editing shortcut inside Claude: you supply a clip or preset to copy plus photos of who or what should appear, and it hands back a matching cut.
Do I need an API key or a separate subscription?
Not needed. You install the Higgsfield connector once in Claude's Settings → Connectors using the MCP server link, then authorize with your Higgsfield login; a paid plan is required.
Which files can I use as a reference?
A video file or a library preset, uploaded through the Higgsfield window in the chat or imported from a direct link to the media file. Instagram or TikTok profile links are not accepted.
Does running Katana in Claude cost extra?
No. It draws on the credits already in your Higgsfield plan, with no separate bill and no MCP markup, though tiers and allowances vary by region.
Can I change the result after it is generated?
Yes — send follow-up instructions in Claude to change a shot, swap a photo, or adjust a detail. Changes needing new generations may add credits, and moderation may decline some generations.
Can I publish my own preset to the library?
Yes. Publishing happens on the Katana page: provide a motion clip between 3 and 30 seconds, as many as 40 images, and a prompt that tags them with @, and it appears immediately.
Connect Higgsfield in Claude and Try Katana AI
Add the Higgsfield connector, then send a first reference edit with up to five photos — or start from the form on higgsfield.ai/katana and browse the preset library. Setup for other agents is covered in the Help Center.
