Higgsfield Genjutsu is a video model that recreates a reference clip. It has two modes, and the names undersell how different they are: Motion Transfer keeps how the clip moves and rebuilds what's in it; Object Swap keeps the whole scene and changes one thing.
- Motion Transfer: the clip's motion, camera and timing stay; the character, outfit and setting are rebuilt from your references.
- Object Swap: everything stays except the one element you select — a character, an outfit, a product or a location.
- Use Motion Transfer for trend recreations with your face; use Object Swap to drop a product into a scene that already works.
- Pose's Clone a Video does both jobs: Swap person and Swap object.
What is motion transfer?
Motion transfer copies movement from one video onto a new subject. The reference clip becomes a choreography and camera guide; the output is a new video with someone else performing it. It's the mechanism behind most AI dance and trend recreations.
What is object swap?
Object swap replaces one element of a video and leaves the rest alone. The lighting, background and motion are kept; only the selected thing changes. It's the faster route to a product ad: a clip that already holds attention, with your product in it.
Which mode to use
| You want to… | Genjutsu mode | Pose equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Do this trend with my face | Motion Transfer | Clone a Video — Swap person |
| Change the outfit, keep the person's motion | Motion Transfer or Object Swap | Swap person, Outfit from your photo |
| Put my product in this clip | Object Swap | Clone a Video — Swap object |
| Say new words in my voice | Neither — it recreates an existing clip | UGC Talking Video |
The last row is the one people miss: neither mode generates a new performance from a script. That's a talking-video tool.
Pose does both modes in one feature — see Clone a Video.
Tips that apply to both
Pick reference clips with one clear subject and steady framing; fast cuts and crowded scenes make either mode guess. Use clean, well-lit photos for the person or product going in. And trim to the part you need — both tools price by length.
