Higgsfield Raindance: The Genjutsu Workflow and an Alternative

By the Raindance AI Video teamUpdated 6 min read

The short answer

People make the Raindance AI trend on Higgsfield with Genjutsu, its video-to-video tool: you upload a reference clip of the scene plus photos of the people, and Genjutsu rebuilds the clip with your characters. It is flexible but you have to bring the footage and set it up yourself. A two-photo Raindance generator skips that step.

What Higgsfield Genjutsu does

Genjutsu is Higgsfield's video-to-video feature, announced on August 31, 2026 (Higgsfield). It has two modes:

  • Motion Transfer takes the movement from an existing clip and uses it to drive a new character or a rebuilt scene.
  • Object Swap replaces the element you name and keeps the rest of the original footage.

Per Higgsfield, one generation takes a single clip of 4 to 30 seconds and up to 30 reference images, and outputs up to 1080p. A prompt is optional.

In late September 2026, Google Trends listed Higgsfield and Genjutsu among the fast-rising searches related to "raindance ai", which is why the two keep coming up together.

How people make the Raindance trend on Higgsfield

  1. Get a reference clip. A 4 to 30 second clip of the pier and beach scenes. This is the hard part: it has to be footage you are allowed to use.
  2. Prepare photos of both people. Clear front-facing photos work best; some creators add side and back views so the model keeps the hair and outfit.
  3. Open Genjutsu and choose Motion Transfer. Upload the clip and the reference photos.
  4. Say who replaces who. With two people in the clip, assign each photo to a performer in the prompt, for example the person on the pier and the singer.
  5. Generate, check and retry. Watch for faces drifting partway through or the two people swapping roles, and change one thing per retry.
  6. Add the song when you post as a TikTok or Instagram sound.

Which one should you use?

  • Use a two-photo Raindance generator if you just want the Raindance video of the two of you without finding footage or writing prompts. Make a full Raindance AI video.

Prefer not to use AI on the scenes at all? A Raindance CapCut template cuts your own photos to the song.
