What Katana AI Delivers for Reference Edits

Starting from footage you approve, this tool reconstructs the cut using your talent, merchandise, and apparel — all within the Claude conversation.

  • Clone the Cut, Not the Cast
    Supply a clip you want to emulate — your own file or a preset from the built-in gallery — and the system reconstructs every shot with assets from your workspace.
  • Five Source Photos, One New Edit
    Provide five images of faces, items, or outfits, and each subject is inserted into the corresponding scenes of the freshly assembled video.
  • Guide the Rebuild with Notes
    Add brief directions to flag must-keep details, like a hero product angle or a specific look that should remain untouched.

A Three-Step Katana AI Workflow

Follow three simple moves to recreate a reference clip with Katana AI in Claude.

What Katana AI Handles Behind the Scenes

Shot timing, beat matching, presets, publishing, and billing — here is how the tool manages each part of a rebuild in Claude.

Shot Order and Timing Preserved

The output follows the original shot order, each clip's duration, and the overall rhythm of the source edit.

Beat-Aligned Cut Placement

Transitions sync to the same musical beats as the reference, keeping the new version on tempo throughout.

Organized Preset Library

Browse presets by Category — Personalized, Style Transfer, or Motion Transfer — and by Source, choosing Higgsfield or Community picks.

Publish Your Own Presets

From the Katana page, submit a preset with a 3–30 second motion clip, up to 40 images, and a prompt that @-mentions those assets.

Built-In Higgsfield MCP Link

The tool runs in Claude via the Higgsfield MCP integration, supports any active paid Higgsfield plan, and requires no API key.

Transparent Cost and MP4 Export

A credit estimate shows in Claude before generation, and the final MP4 keeps the source's duration, aspect ratio, and frame rate.
