What is Higgsfield Katana — and how do you try the format?
The reference-to-video format explained: what a Katana-style edit is, how the workflow runs, and where to try it.
The format in one line
Reference-to-video — sometimes called a Katana-style edit — takes a short clip you like and rebuilds it around a new subject. The motion, camera work and cut timing carry over; the person, product or outfit in the frame becomes yours.
The appeal is obvious: instead of writing a prompt and hoping, you show the engine exactly what the finished edit should move like.
How the workflow runs
Upload a reference clip of four to fifteen seconds, add one to eight photos of your subject, and generate. Optional audio keeps a specific track; an optional instruction nudges emphasis. The output matches the reference length and downloads as an MP4.
Trying it on Katana AI
Katana AI is an independent reference-to-video studio built around this exact workflow — preset reference clips included. It is not affiliated with Higgsfield or Anthropic; it is a standalone product with free starter credits so you can run a first edit today.
