What Genjutsu does

Most AI tools can copy a look. Genjutsu goes further. It carries the entire creative DNA of your original: the lighting, the color grade, the camera feel, the mood. You tell it what to change and it keeps everything else.

That means one strong shot can turn into a whole series. New location, new subject, new moment, and it still feels like it came from the same film.

The workflow

  1. 1

    Film one clean clip

    Shoot one simple take of yourself on a green screen, between 4 and 30 seconds. Keep the framing centered and the action easy, like looking down at your phone. This clip is your master.

  2. 2

    Open Genjutsu Lite

    On Higgsfield, go to Video and set the model to Higgsfield Genjutsu Lite. It is the faster, cheaper version and handles clips up to 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Add your reference video

    Click Add a reference video and upload your clip. Your movement, camera framing and timing are now locked in.

  4. 4

    Add references if you want

    Optional. Drop in up to 10 images of characters, products or clothes you want to appear in the new version.

  5. 5

    Describe only the change

    Turn on Prompt and say what is different. Keep it short.

    Example: "Change the location to a busy late night diner with warm overhead lights."

  6. 6

    Generate, repeat, line them up

    Pick your quality and hit Generate. Do one new location per run, then place your best versions back to back with quick whip transitions.

Quick tips

  • Change one thing at a time so the style stays locked in.
  • Keep your prompt about the scene, not the look. Genjutsu already has the look.
  • Save your best results as new masters to branch off in fresh directions.
