Higgsfield: Final video generation with audio and video references

Demo summary
The user performs a complex task in Higgsfield by combining a timeline prompt, a character board, and a blacked-out video reference to sync audio and visuals for a final dance clip.
Step-by-step
- Write a detailed timeline prompt specifying actions for specific time intervals
- Use an LLM like Claude to polish the timeline prompt
- Upload a character board to use as a locked reference
- Upload a video reference that contains the desired audio track
- Cover the video reference with a solid black screen to isolate the audio
- Tag the references within the prompt to define their specific roles
- Click generate
Watch out for
- SeaDance cannot take audio files on their own yet; audio must be embedded in a video file
- You must black out the video reference to prevent the AI from being confused by old visuals or 'bleeding' them into the new generation
Tips
- Use a blacked-out video reference to ensure the AI only takes the sound from a previous clip
- Tag your references in the prompt so the AI knows exactly what each one is for
