Use only the guide below and its exact step names, and say so if the guide doesn't cover something. ## Everything from this video This one is a paid partnership. Higgsfield paid me to make the video, and the button on this page is my own referral link. [Genjutsu for Reels](https://higgsfield.ai/genjutsu-for-reels) is a Higgsfield tool that makes vertical 9:16 videos with a presenter. You add a character, give it a topic, and can add a video whose motion it copies. It writes the script for you from a topic, a hook or a few key points. A short runs anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes. In my video I gave it [my ArtCraft video](https://quickfinesse.dev/videos/2026-10-03-artcraft) as the reference and a brand new script about a free Fusion 360 alternative. Both of my results are further down.

That's the part this tool takes over. You never open a timeline, you pick the inputs and Higgsfield makes the finished short. It also suits a series. The same presenter can come back in every short, so every video keeps one face and one voice. ## How it works 1. Pick a reference. Start from a short that already did well, yours or a popular one, and it repeats that short's motion and style. The clip has to run between 10 and 120 seconds, so trim it first if it's longer. https://higgsfield.ai/blog/higgsfield-introduces-shorts-studio 2. Add a character. Upload a photo of yourself or pick one of their characters. Characters, products and clothing can come from your uploads, AI Influencer, earlier generations or your liked items, up to 38 in all. https://higgsfield.ai/blog/higgsfield-introduces-shorts-studio 3. Choose a voice. Pick one of the male or female voices, select Custom, or let Auto generate make a voice that fits the character you added. https://higgsfield.ai/blog/higgsfield-introduces-shorts-studio 4. Describe the script. Write what the short should cover, whether that's a topic, a hook or a few key points. Press Continue and Higgsfield writes the script. https://higgsfield.ai/blog/higgsfield-introduces-shorts-studio 5. Pick quality, then generate. Basic is faster and cheaper at medium quality, and High looks better for more. The cost shows on the Generate button before anything is made, and it grows with the length of the video. https://higgsfield.ai/blog/higgsfield-introduces-shorts-studio ## My two results - **From my own video, My ArtCraft video as the style**: I gave it my ArtCraft video as the reference and a new script about a free Fusion 360 alternative. It's the same style with a completely new script. Clips: Made with Genjutsu for Reels from my ArtCraft video. https://quickfinesse.dev/notes/2026-11-05-higgsfield-shorts/ex2.mp4 - **From a template, One of their templates**: You can also start from one of their templates and give it any script. This one reads a short script about the free rebuild of Microsoft Office.
