Higgsfield Hotel Lobby: Genjutsu Cost, Steps and Limits
A Higgsfield Hotel Lobby video is made in Genjutsu, the Higgsfield tool that recasts a source clip with your photos, usually through a preset another user shared. Higgsfield has no official Hotel Lobby preset, and a 15-second Genjutsu video costs 40 to 144 credits depending on quality.
Below: the prices from Higgsfield’s own pages, the steps as the Genjutsu page showed them on October 1, 2026, the limits, and when a two-portrait Hotel Lobby maker is the simpler path. Higgsfield’s interface changes often, and we did not run a render ourselves.

The steps on Higgsfield
- Sign in to Higgsfield on the web and go to Genjutsu.
- Under Trending in the Motion Library, open the community preset of the orange set. It is a user preset tagged Motion transfer, not an official Higgsfield template.
- Tap Recreate. The preset loads the source clip plus a prompt that keeps everything the same except the faces.
- Upload a face photo for each person into the two photo slots.
- Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p, check the credit cost shown before generating, and generate.
Creators also describe a second route: Motion Transfer from the original performance, where you supply the source clip yourself and add your photos. Either way, the result follows the source clip’s moves and framing.
Limits worth knowing
- The source clip has to be 4 to 30 seconds, with up to 30 reference images.
- Output reaches 1080p and tracks the source clip, so the moves and framing stay those of the original performance.
- The free plan comes with no credits, a watermark on every generation and no commercial use.
- Higgsfield runs on the web only. Its help center says there is no mobile or desktop app and that apps using its name are copies.

| One short video | 40 to 144 credits for 15 s, after a plan | 6 credits for 12 s; smallest pack 10 credits for $9.99 |
| Account | A plan for credits | Google sign-in and a credit pack; no subscription needed |
| Suits | People who want full control over models, motion and prompts | Two people on the orange set with zero setup |
