The complete guide.
Follow the four steps below. Download the reference, create your character sheet, transfer the motion, and upscale the chosen result.
1. Download the reference video
Start with the movement you want to recreate. Download the reference clip below, watch it through, and identify the person you want to replace.
Save the source clip
In this example, replace the foreground dancer in the black shirt. Keep the surrounding guests, party setting, lighting, and camera movement as your reference. The comparison above shows the original and the supplied result; their durations differ slightly.
2. Create your character sheet in Higgsfield
Open Higgsfield’s image generator, attach a clear image of your character, and paste the JSON prompt below. Choose a landscape 3:2 output. Save the sheet once the identity and wardrobe stay consistent across the views.
Character-sheet prompt
Use your own character image as the attached reference. This is the supplied prompt, preserved for copying and downloading. It requests four full-body views on the left and three portraits on the right.

Luis’s supplied sheet shows the black jacket, hoodie, cargo pants, sunglasses, beard, and necklace from multiple angles. Check these details before moving to video. The example has hands in pockets, while the prompt asks for visible hands; for a new sheet, review that difference and regenerate if hand detail is important.
Luis Street Ware — supplied character sheet. Attach this as @image1 in the video step.

In Higgsfield, open Genjutsu and choose Motion Transfer. Add the source video and your character sheet. Generate at 720p to keep iteration costs down, then review the movement and identity before upscaling.

Use this suggested prompt for the example. It describes the intended edit; the original generation prompt was not supplied.
Suggested Genjutsu prompt Use @video1 as the motion and scene reference. Replace only the foreground dancer in the black shirt with the person in @image1. Preserve the character’s face, beard, sunglasses, black jacket, hoodie, cargo pants, and accessories. Follow the original dancer’s movement, timing, and body position. Keep the other guests, party setting, lighting, and camera movement consistent with the reference video.
Generate and review
Select 720p and match the source’s landscape framing. Review the full clip at normal speed, especially the face, hands, clothing, and people behind the dancer. Fix identity or motion problems here before paying to upscale. Credit usage depends on the current model settings and clip length; check the estimate shown before generating.

Setting Recommended for this workflow Feature Genjutsu — Motion Transfer Resolution 720p Framing Landscape, matching the source Inputs One reference video and one character sheet Review checklist
- The foreground dancer uses the character’s face, sunglasses, and wardrobe.
- Body movement follows the source without extra limbs or distracting warping.
- Guests, lighting, and camera movement remain coherent throughout the clip.
4. Upscale to 2K with Flux 3.0
Once the 720p version works, open Flux 3.0 Video Upscale in Higgsfield. Upload your chosen Genjutsu result, select 2K, and export the finished video.
Finish the chosen take
Upscaling comes after the creative review. It can improve detail, but a higher resolution will not fix incorrect movement or a drifting identity. The supplied finished example is 2560 × 1440, commonly labeled 2K or 1440p in this workflow. Its file dimensions are verified; the generation and upscale job settings were not supplied.

Higgsfield documents Genjutsu for motion transfer and lists Flux 3.0 Video Upscale in its creation hub. This guide follows the requested 720p-to-2K workflow using the supplied example files.
Review checklist
- Compare the upscale with the 720p version for facial and clothing detail.
- Check for flicker, halos, and changes to the character.
- Play the export through and confirm its audio and dimensions.
