Higgsfield Genjutsu: Motion Transfer, Object Swap and Genjutsu Lite

Most AI video tools generate a clip from scratch. Higgsfield Genjutsu starts from a video you already have and changes only what you want: the product in someone’s hand, the location, the character or the whole visual style. On October 19, 2026, Higgsfield added Genjutsu Lite, a cheaper version for short clips. Here’s how both work, based on Higgsfield’s changelog and official Genjutsu page.

What Genjutsu does

Genjutsu has two modes:

• Motion transfer: takes the movement, camera and timing from any video and builds a new scene around it from your references.
• Object swap: changes only what you describe and leaves the rest of the frame untouched.

Prompts are optional. You can pick from 30+ presets or describe the change in a few words.

For ads, this means one strong source clip can become several variations: a different product, a different setting, a different character, the same proven motion.

Restyle: redraw a whole video

Added on September 30, 2026, Restyle works in Motion transfer mode and redraws the entire video in a new style while keeping the original motion, timing and camera work. Choose from 20+ animation styles or build a custom style from reference images. It accepts reference videos of 4 to 30 seconds and outputs 480p, 720p or 1080p. Restyle is available on the web and via MCP, but not in Genjutsu Lite.

Genjutsu vs Genjutsu Lite

Lite keeps both core modes but is limited to short clips and fewer references.

Which to pick: use Lite for short trend clips and quick product swaps under 15 seconds. Switch to standard Genjutsu for longer videos, more than 10 references, or Restyle.

How to use Genjutsu Lite, step by step

1. Go to Video and choose Higgsfield Genjutsu Lite in the model selector.
2. Pick a mode: Motion transfer or Objects swap.
3. Upload a video (4–15 seconds) and up to 10 reference images you own or have permission to use.
4. Choose 720p or 1080p.
5. Click Generate. The credit cost is shown before you confirm.

Standard Genjutsu works the same way: Video → model selector → Genjutsu.

How much Genjutsu costs

Genjutsu runs on Higgsfield credits, and each run shows its cost before you generate. Higgsfield’s own Genjutsu guide lists standard Genjutsu at 40 credits for a 15-second clip at 480p, 104 credits at 720p and 144 credits at 1080p, for both Motion transfer and Object swap. Lite costs about one-third as much on higgsfield.ai; Higgsfield doesn’t publish exact Lite figures, and costs can vary with settings.
