From X
Genjutsu videos people are posting
These were made with Higgsfield Genjutsu and posted on X by the creators named under each one — not on Kavel. They show what a genjutsu video is: the movement of a real clip carried over, and everything around it recast. Kavel runs the same kind of edit on Seedance 2.5 from your own footage.
Crowd recast
A whole crowd recast, the formation untouched
The STORM formation trend recast into a king before animal-headed figures, bodybuilders and hot-dog costumes, all bowing on the same beat as the source. Posted by @shushant_l on X, made with Higgsfield Genjutsu.
Recast a crowdScene recast
A dinner scene recast into black and white
Two faces across a candlelit table, the cuts between them kept exactly where they fell and the people and the look recast. Posted by @MaAyyoub on X, made with Higgsfield Genjutsu.
Recast a sceneCharacter recast
A performance moved onto a creature
A person's movements carried over onto a round, doll-faced creature rolling through a dark bedroom — the recast does not have to be human at all. Posted by @kraqvoid on X, made with Higgsfield Genjutsu.

What is a genjutsu video?
A genjutsu video keeps a real clip's acting, camera moves and cuts and recasts what is in it — the person, the outfit, the crowd, the place. Higgsfield named its version Genjutsu and calls it motion control for the entire frame; in September 2026 the format took over X and TikTok with STORM formation dances, fight scenes and people dropped into music-video shots. Creators who tested it say it runs on Seedance 2.5 — the model this page runs on.
Video tool
On Kavel a genjutsu video starts from your clip: upload 4 to 30 seconds of MP4 or MOV, add a photo of who should appear instead if the swap is a person, and say what changes. Seedance 2.5 reads the whole clip, holds the choreography, the timing and the camera path, and writes a new clip just as long with the recast in place. The credit cost appears before you generate, and a render that errors out hands its credits back.

Put yourself in the shot
The most shared genjutsu video format is personal: film yourself walking a street or dancing on a terrace, then recast the outfit, the crowd or the city around you while every step stays yours.
Recast a fight beat for beat
Action works because the choreography is the hard part. Keep the strikes, the falls and the camera from a fight you filmed, and swap the fighters, the costumes or the dojo.
The formation shot at the centre of the trend has its own page — the STORM II AI video tool builds one figure against a moving crowd. To continue a clip past its last frame instead of recasting it, use the AI video extender.
How to use
Three steps to a genjutsu video
A genjutsu video needs a clip that sets the motion, a photo of who steps in, and one sentence about what else changes.
2
Add who should appear instead
A sharp photo of the person or character who takes over. Skip it when the swap is an outfit, a crowd or a place rather than a face.
3
Say what changes, keep the rest
Name the swap and list what stays: the choreography, the timing, the camera, the cuts. The credit cost appears before you generate, and a failed run costs nothing.

Answers
Genjutsu video FAQ
Questions people ask about the genjutsu video trend and how it runs on Kavel.
A genjutsu video is a real clip with its movement, camera path and cuts kept and its contents recast — a new person, outfit, crowd or place. Higgsfield named its version Genjutsu; on Kavel the same kind of edit runs on Seedance 2.5 from a clip you upload.
Higgsfield hasn't published the model behind its Genjutsu mode, but people testing it keep landing on the same answer — the top reply on the r/aivideomaking thread asking exactly this is 'Has to be seedance 2.5.' Kavel's genjutsu video tool runs on Seedance 2.5 by name, and Kavel is not connected to Higgsfield.
On Higgsfield, users on r/generativeAI report Genjutsu renders sitting on processing for hours and, in some cases, four days. In our own test runs on the same Seedance 2.5 endpoints Kavel uses, a 5-second edit came back in about five minutes; longer clips take longer, and a run that errors out is refunded.
Steady footage with one clear subject and a camera move you like — the model holds on to what is already there. The prompts creators share for genjutsu video spell out what to keep: the choreography, body movement, timing, camera movement and framing.
Not a free render. A genjutsu video runs on Seedance 2.5, a paid model, and it bills on the length of your clip, so the credits a new account starts with don't cover one. Higgsfield's Free plan lists 0 credits for Genjutsu as well.
It is priced on the length of your clip: the model reads the whole clip and writes a new one just as long, so a 10-second genjutsu video costs more than a 5-second one. The exact credit cost appears before you generate, and a failed run is refunded automatically.
