Higgsfield

Overview

This page is about Higgsfield's own models. It is not about every model the Higgsfield studio can call. Seedance, Kling, Wan, and MiniMax routes on the same API are other companies' models. Their selection pages are /models/seedance, /models/kling, and /models/minimax-hailuo. The studio as a product, including plans and the MCP endpoint, is /tools/higgsfield. Keeping those apart is the point of a model page.

On 2026-10-16 the public docs index https://docs.higgsfield.ai/docs/llms-full.txt was saved (about 596 KB, HTTP 200). Its video category copy names Genjutsu, Seedance, Kling, Wan, Happy Horse, Cinema Studio, MiniMax, LTX, PixVerse, and Grok. The first-party video pages inside that file are Cinema Studio 4.0 and Genjutsu. Soul, Soul Cinema, Soul ID, and SOUL V2 are image models. The word "dop" does not occur in that file. A direct request to https://docs.higgsfield.ai/docs/guides/video returned a 307 to /docs/. Search indexes still show an older guide that posts to https://api.higgsfield.ai/higgsfield-ai/dop/standard with a required prompt and image_url. That guide body was not saved as a 200 response in this environment. This page does not treat DoP as a current catalog model. It records the indexed endpoint as a historical lead that the live index did not confirm. Duration, resolution, and a dollar rate for DoP are not observed.

Status: Cinema Studio 4.0 and Genjutsu are documented public API workflows, with console playground links. That is general availability of the documented endpoints, subject to account access. The models index says the catalog documents 84 entries and that availability can change, and it points at https://console.higgsfield.ai for the account. A region block list was not in the extracted pages. A waitlist was not stated. open_source is false.

Filter booleans describe Cinema Studio 4.0, the generative model, and they are the conservative reading of its schema. Text-to-video is true because the usage note says the workflow uses text-to-video when reference arrays are empty. Image-to-video is true because a non-empty image array switches the same endpoint to reference-to-video, with up to 30 image URLs. Native audio is true because the schema includes a boolean described as "Generate audio with the video." Multi-shot is false. The pacing enum includes single-shot among chaotic, dynamic, calm, and single-shot. That is a style control, not a list of shot prompts. Camera move is a separate enum of named moves. Neither is a multi-shot API. Genjutsu does not change these booleans: it is video-to-video (motion transfer, object swap, restyle), so it is not a text-to-video world model, and the page's t2v bit follows Cinema Studio.

Specs

Version line. Cinema Studio 4.0 is the public generate endpoint, POST https://api.higgsfield.ai/higgsfield/cinema-studio/4.0, endpoint id higgsfield/cinema-studio/4.0. The usage notes say this endpoint produces a new video, and that editing and extension use the separate Seedance 2.5 endpoints. Read that sentence carefully. Cinema Studio is documented as its own workflow, and the same note sends edit and extend work to Seedance 2.5. This page does not claim Cinema Studio's weights are Seedance, and it does not hide the cross-reference. A "runs on Seedance" sentence from an indexed help article was not in the saved llms-full Cinema Studio chapter. That stronger claim is not observed in the saved body.

Cinema Studio 4.0 fields extracted from the saved schema:

Field	Observed value
Required	prompt (minimum 1 character, must contain non-whitespace).
Mode	Text-to-video if media arrays are empty. Reference-to-video if any media array is non-empty.
Duration	Integer seconds, minimum 4, maximum 30.
Resolution	480p or 720p. 1080p was not in the allowed values.
Aspect	16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 21:9.
Audio output	Boolean, "Generate audio with the video."
Images	Up to 30 public URLs.
Videos	Up to 10 public URLs.
Audio inputs	Up to 10 public URLs.
Combined references	At most 50 items. Video and audio may be normalized to separate 30-second total budgets.
Prompt tokens	Optional one-based tokens such as image, video, and audio references. Each token must match an attached item of that type.
Creative enums	Era, genre, light, pacing, lens look, camera body, a long scene-preset list, aperture, and a camera-move list. Omit a creative field to let the director choose. The literal string auto is not accepted for those enums.

Frame rate, a seed, and a dollar or credit cost were not in the extracted schema. Not observed.

Genjutsu is the other first-party video family. Motion transfer is POST https://api.higgsfield.ai/higgsfield/genjutsu/motion-transfer/v1.0. The source video must be at least 4 seconds. Videos longer than 30 seconds are trimmed to 30. Output duration follows the prepared source. Provide 1 to 8 image references. The prompt is optional and defaults to empty. A legacy path spelled higgsfiled remains callable and is hidden from discovery. Object swap and restyle are sibling endpoints under /higgsfield/genjutsu/. Their full enums were not copied into this sheet. Genjutsu's price was not in the extract.

Soul V2 is text-to-image, POST under the Soul standard path documented in the image guide. It is not a video model. Soul Cinema is another text-to-image endpoint. They matter on this page only so a reader does not brief Soul as a video generator. The image guide's example posts a landscape prompt and says completed images are retained at least seven days. Aspect and resolution for Soul were in an indexed image guide. The saved Soul chapter should be re-read before those still specs are quoted as video specs. They are not repeated here as Cinema Studio specs.

Billing mechanics that do apply to every generation, from https://docs.higgsfield.ai/docs/concepts/billing-and-retention.md: charges hit successful requests in account credits. The exact cost depends on the model and the parameters. Credits expire one year after they are added. An estimate endpoint can be called before submit. The sample response on that page (credits 1.500 and usd 0.094) is explicitly an illustration of the response format for a Soul-shaped call, and the page says to use the estimate for your own account as the authoritative amount. It is not a Cinema Studio price. Requests that end failed or nsfw are not charged. A queued request can be canceled only before processing starts, and a successful cancel is refunded. Outputs remain available at least seven days.

Authentication, from the FAQ in the same docs set: base URL https://api.higgsfield.ai, header Authorization: Key YOUR_KEY_ID:YOUR_KEY_SECRET. Not a bearer token. Generation is asynchronous and returns request_id, status_url, and cancel_url.

Prompt notes

Cinema Studio's published quick start, not a clip rendered here, is "A cinematic wide shot of ocean waves at sunset, with gentle camera movement." The schema then offers a camera-move enum that includes dolly-in, drone-orbit, handheld, static-shot, and many others. If you need a specific move, set the enum. The note says omitting the field lets the director choose, and sending the string auto is invalid. Reference tokens use a one-based syntax that must point at an attached image, video, or audio item. A token without the attachment is a request bug, not a style.

DoP prompt behavior is not observed, because the DoP page was not in the saved catalog.

Arena scores for Cinema Studio or Genjutsu were not opened. Not observed.

Where to run

Official only, two or more doors on Higgsfield's own platform:

1. Cinema Studio 4.0 generate docs, saved inside the docs index and addressed as https://docs.higgsfield.ai/docs/models/cinema-studio-4/generate. Endpoint https://api.higgsfield.ai/higgsfield/cinema-studio/4.0.
2. Genjutsu motion transfer: https://docs.higgsfield.ai/docs/models/genjutsu/motion-transfer in the same index. Endpoint https://api.higgsfield.ai/higgsfield/genjutsu/motion-transfer/v1.0.
3. The console the docs name as the place to discover models and open playgrounds: console.higgsfield.ai.
4. The product page in this directory: /tools/higgsfield.

A non-Higgsfield host for Cinema Studio 4.0 or Genjutsu was not found on fal, Runway, or Luma in the files read for this pass. Resale is not observed. The two API workflows plus the console are the entry points, and they are one vendor. That matches the rule that a single-vendor model may say official only, as long as more than one door is linked. The console and the API are those doors.

Indexed DoP: POST https://api.higgsfield.ai/higgsfield-ai/dop/standard. Not confirmed by the saved catalog. Do not ship a client against it without a current schema from the console.

Multi-channel pricing

Official only. A dollar or credit figure for Cinema Studio 4.0 or for Genjutsu was not in the schemas or in the billing chapter. Price: not observed. Verified by absence in the files fetched on 2026-10-16, which is a weaker statement than a printed number and is the honest one.

What you can say about money:

• The billing chapter says the unit is account credits, model-specific, with a one-year expiry.
• Failed and nsfw results are not charged. Canceled queued jobs are refunded.
• The estimate API returns credits and usd for the call you submit. The printed Soul example is not transferable.
• Consumer plan dollars on the Higgsfield marketing site were not re-fetched for this model pass. They may exist on the tool page from a separate review. They are not copied here as Cinema Studio rates.

There is no fal price, no Runway credit row, and no Luma credit row for Cinema Studio 4.0 in the extracts. Do not borrow Seedance's price just because the Cinema Studio note mentions Seedance 2.5 endpoints for edit and extend. Those endpoints have their own prices on the Seedance page, and they are a different request.

Workflow and platform fit

Labels only. No unpublished workflow URLs.

Faceless. Cinema Studio can run 4 to 30 seconds, 9:16, 480p or 720p, with a generate-audio flag. That is a complete faceless beat if the generated audio is usable. Usability was not tested. 720p is the top enum value, which is enough for a phone feed and short of a 1080p master. Captions are still /tools/capcut. A named voice is still /tools/elevenlabs when the boolean is not the right speaker.

UGC ads. Reference-to-video with up to 30 images is the storyboard path. Genjutsu object swap is the "replace the product in a clip you already have" path, with a 4 to 30 second source window. /tools/creatify is the packaged UGC template if you do not want to drive these endpoints.

AI avatar. Neither Cinema Studio nor Genjutsu is documented as a photo-avatar engine. Motion transfer puts a reference image's appearance onto source motion, which can resemble an avatar and is still a video-to-video job with a required source clip. For a presenter who speaks from a script, use /models/heygen-video.

Long-to-short. Genjutsu trims sources over 30 seconds. It does not chapter a podcast. Cut the long file first, then restyle a short span.

Captions and cover. Soul can make a still. Cinema Studio's response shape in the docs is a video URL. Grab a cover frame in CapCut. No caption field was in the schema.

Voice and publish. Generate-audio is optional in the schema. Publish vertical by setting 9:16. Inputs must be public URLs. The docs reject asset:// on some sibling endpoints and tell you to upload files when you do not have a public URL. A private product shot must be uploaded through their file flow before reference-to-video will see it. Output retention is at least seven days. Download before you depend on the URL.

Shorts vertical fit. This is one of the better documented vertical fits among first-party studio models: 9:16 is in the enum, duration covers a Shorts hook through a 30-second spot, and the top resolution is 720p rather than a surprise 4K bill. The missing price is the reason not to promise a unit cost. Run the estimate endpoint on the account that will pay.

Pros

• The saved catalog separates first-party models from hosted Seedance and Kling, which is the distinction this directory also needs.
• Cinema Studio's schema is specific: duration bounds, two resolutions, six aspects, and a generate-audio boolean, plus hard reference caps.
• 9:16 is a first-class aspect, and 30 seconds is inside the duration maximum.
• Genjutsu states a minimum and a trim point for source video, so a motion-transfer job has a known length rule.
• Billing rules for failure, NSFW, cancel, and seven-day retention are written down, even though the model price is not.
• The docs tell you to call the estimate endpoint instead of trusting a blog price. That is the correct instruction while the printed example is labeled illustrative.

Cons

• The actual credit and dollar cost of Cinema Studio 4.0 and Genjutsu was not in the public schema. A selection page cannot finish a budget from the docs alone.
• 1080p is not an allowed Cinema Studio resolution in the extract. A brand master at 1080p is a different model or an upscale. Not observed as a Cinema Studio tier.
• DoP is in indexed guides and absent from the saved full index. An integration written against dop/standard may be calling a stale path.
• The Seedance cross-reference for edit and extend means "one Higgsfield video workflow" can leave Cinema Studio without the docs shouting that the next call is a ByteDance model. Read the note before you attribute an edit to Cinema Studio.
• Creative enums are long, and auto is an invalid value. Clients that send auto as a default will fail.
• Outputs expire after the retention window. A pipeline that stores only the Higgsfield URL will break later.
• Multi-shot prompting, in the Kling sense, is not a field. Pacing single-shot does not mean the other pacing values return an edit decision list.

Alternatives

• Seedance is the hosted model Cinema Studio's own note points at for edit and extend, and it has published per-second prices on fal and credit prices on Runway. Cinema Studio adds the camera and style enums and, on this schema, stops at 720p.
• Kling has a public unit price, native-audio rows, and a multi-shot prompt field. It is also hosted inside Higgsfield as a different endpoint family.
• Runway Gen publishes 12 credits per second for Gen-4.5. It does not publish Cinema Studio's camera enum.
• Luma Ray is the closer cousin to Genjutsu when the job is modify or motion transfer, with a public dollar API and no native audio on fresh text generations.
• Veo is the short Google clip with a GA card and a higher with-audio list price. It was not a model in the Higgsfield catalog index that was scanned.

Related tools

• /tools/higgsfield is the product: plans, studio UI, and the MCP surface. Model rates on this page stay not observed even if the tool page discusses subscriptions.
• /tools/capcut finishes captions, covers, and any upscale or reframing Cinema Studio's 720p cap does not cover.
• /tools/elevenlabs replaces generate-audio when the boolean is the wrong voice.
• /tools/seedance, /tools/kling, and /tools/runway are the apps for the alternative models, including models Higgsfield also hosts.
• /tools/creatify and /tools/heygen cover packaged ads and presenters.

FAQ

Is this page the Higgsfield app?

No. The app and its subscription live at /tools/higgsfield. This page is Cinema Studio 4.0, Genjutsu, and the Soul still family as models, plus the explicit statement that hosted Kling or Seedance calls are not "the Higgsfield model."

How much does one Cinema Studio clip cost?

Not observed. The public schema and the billing chapter do not print a Cinema Studio credit rate. Call the account estimate endpoint. Ignore the Soul sample dollars on the billing page.

Does DoP still exist?

Not in the llms-full.txt catalog saved on 2026-10-16. An indexed video guide still shows POST /higgsfield-ai/dop/standard. This environment could not save that guide as the guide URL. It redirected. Treat DoP as unverified until the console shows a current schema.

Can I generate 9:16 with audio?

Cinema Studio's schema allows aspect 9:16 and a generate-audio boolean. Resolution on that schema is 480p or 720p. Duration is 4 to 30 seconds. A price for that combination was not published in the files read here.

What is Genjutsu for?

Motion transfer, object swap, and restyle of a source video. Motion transfer needs a source of at least 4 seconds, trims at 30, and wants 1 to 8 reference images. It is not the text-to-video path. Cinema Studio is the text-to-video path when you send no references.
