Higgsfield: Direct a multi-shot AI video with manual controls

David Manning·Apr 2026

Demo summary

The user demonstrates the 'Multi-shot manual' video tool, setting start frames, assigning character emotions (like 'apprehensive'), and writing dialogue for a 12-second sequence.

Step-by-step

Select Multi-shot manual from the generation options
Click into the first shot and upload or select an image to set as the Start Frame
Mention a character name in the prompt to enable character-specific controls
Click the face icon to adjust character emotions using the slider
Write the scene description and dialogue for the shot
Repeat the process for subsequent shots, selecting new start frames for each
Adjust the duration for each shot ensuring the total does not exceed 12 seconds
Click Generate to process the multi-shot sequence

Options

Add an End Frame to help the AI understand the scene progression
Generate up to four shots in one sequence
Use 'Auto' mode to let the AI create frames based only on the initial start frame
Color grade the generated start frames
Generate multiple versions of a start frame before committing to the video

Watch out for

The total generation length is strictly limited to 12 seconds across all shots
Each image generation for a start frame costs two credits

Tips

Always provide a start frame as it is super important for helping the AI understand the scene
Include the character's name before their dialogue so the AI knows who is talking
Dial down the 'Fear' emotion slider to achieve an 'Apprehensive' look
Use specific camera directions like 'medium wide shot' or 'over the shoulder' in your prompts for better composition

Highlights

“this is again, it gets wild... this is insane that this isn't a real person.”
