2. ADD YOUR ASSETS
Start a chat with Higgsfield enabled and upload your footage or hero photo.
Replace [hero photo] and [chosen look] with your own references.
The prompt calls for a close-up, a nine-look lineup, a jacket-open shot, seven location clips, a colonnade finale, and background mattes. Generate missing shots before assembling the edit.
