What is Katana AI in Claude? Here's What It Actually Does
Katana AI is a Higgsfield skill you call inside Claude. Give it a reference edit, up to five photos and optional notes, and it returns a rebuilt video in the chat and in Assets.
- Swap In Your Own Cast and ProductsHand over your own clip or a preset, plus five photos of the people or items you want on screen, and Katana places them into the same cuts.
- One Higgsfield Plan, One Credit PoolIt runs on Higgsfield models with the credits already in your plan — no second invoice, and no surcharge for calling it from Claude.
- Start From the Katana Page or From ClaudeUse the short three-field form on higgsfield.ai/katana, or type /katana, /katana/<preset-name>, or a plain request straight into the Claude chat.
How Katana AI Rebuilds a Reference Edit
Three moves: pick the reference, load your photos, then polish the result in the Claude chat.
What is Katana AI Tuning While It Rebuilds Your Edit
Here is what Katana AI manages while it rebuilds an edit: shot structure, presets, output format, credit cost, and the Higgsfield tools that sit alongside it.
Shot Order, Pacing and Cut Timing
The reference sets how shots are sequenced and timed and where the beat drops land; your photos decide who and what fills each frame.
Preset Library, Sorted Two Ways
Presets are ready-made references grouped by category (Personalized edits, Style transfer, Motion transfer) and by source (Higgsfield, Community).
Publish Your Own Presets
On the Katana page, creators can publish a preset with a motion clip of 3–30 seconds, up to 40 images, and a prompt that tags them with @.
Output Matches the Reference's Format
In testing the result came back as an MP4 with the reference's duration, aspect ratio and frame rate, stored in Assets with a preview and a download button.
Runs Alongside Genjutsu in One Chat
Genjutsu's Motion Transfer and Object Swap share the same chat and Assets, so its clip can feed a Katana reference — and the other way round.
Credit Cost Confirmed Before You Generate
A cost card shows in Claude before you commit, and asking for fresh generations — fixes included — can raise the final total.
What is Katana AI? Your Top Questions Answered
Straight answers about how Katana AI behaves in Claude, which files it takes, and what it costs to run.
So what does Katana AI actually do, in plain terms?
It works like an editing shortcut inside Claude: give it a clip or preset to mirror, plus photos of who or what belongs on screen, and it returns a matching cut.
Do I need an API key or a second subscription?
No. Install the Higgsfield connector once under Claude's Settings → Connectors with the MCP server link, then sign in with your Higgsfield account; a paid plan is required.
What can I hand over as a reference?
Either a video file or a library preset — uploaded through the Higgsfield window in the chat, or pulled from a direct link to the media file. Instagram or TikTok profile links will not work.
Is there an extra charge for running it in Claude?
No. It spends the credits already on your Higgsfield plan, with no separate bill and no MCP markup, though tiers and allowances differ by region.
Can I tweak the video once it's done?
Yes — send follow-up instructions in Claude to change a shot, swap a photo or adjust a detail. Rework that needs new generations may use more credits, and moderation can decline some requests.
Can I publish a preset of my own?
Yes. Publishing happens on the Katana page: supply a motion clip of 3 to 30 seconds, up to 40 images, and a prompt that tags them with @, and it goes live right away.
What is Katana AI in Practice? Add the Connector and Try It
Install the Higgsfield connector, then send your first reference edit with up to five photos — or begin on the form at higgsfield.ai/katana and browse the preset library. Help Center covers setup for other agents.
