How to Use Higgsfield Katana and Claude for Motion Design

Higgsfield Katana

Rebuilds a reference video edit with your own characters, products, or clothing. Matches its shots, pacing, cuts, typography, and timing

Claude Motion

Turns text, charts, diagrams, and images into editable animated explainers. Writes code that animates, with no AI footage

Claude Code

Writes custom animation code with tools such as GSAP, HyperFrames, or Remotion

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

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

• In Claude, go to Settings, then Connectors, and add the Higgsfield connector
• Sign in with an active Higgsfield subscription. No API key is needed
• Type /katana to open the preset catalog
• Or simply ask for an edit, such as a product promo

• A reference edit: your own video or a preset, used with permission
• Up to five photos of characters, products, or clothing
• Optional instructions: the key shot or what must stay unchanged
• Upload photos through the Higgsfield upload window, not as chat attachments

The output matches the reference’s duration, aspect ratio, and frame rate.

Claude Motion has been in beta since October 8, 2026, on Team and Enterprise plans. Start with /motion, or choose Motion as the output, and give it your text, chart, or images. Export to MP4.

Katana

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

Claude Motion

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

Claude Code

Custom motion systems, logo animations, and reusable templates

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

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

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

• One or two fonts
• A small color palette
• The same easing and speed across scenes
• One transition style
• Text sizes readable on phones

• Ask Katana for changes in plain chat. It regenerates only the affected shots
• Edit Claude Motion scenes word by word without redoing the rest
• Check every frame of text and numbers before export

• Katana uses your Higgsfield plan credits, and Claude shows the cost before each generation
• Corrections that need new generations cost more
• Claude Motion counts toward your Claude plan’s usage limits

• Use only reference edits you own or have permission to use
• Use only faces you have permission to use
• Use licensed music and fonts
• Label realistic AI footage where platforms require it
