# Higgsfield Cinema Studio 2.5

## QUICK FACTS
*Generated-checked block (scripts/build_index.py verifies anchors). Read the linked sections for full context — these lines are routing aids, not the rules themselves.*
- Four Cinema Studio versions are on the platform (2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5 / 4.0) — user-selected, no auto-routing; always detect the version first [→](#-version-detection--ask-first)
- **Cinema Studio 4.0** (`cinematic_studio_video_4_0`, CLI workflow schema 2026-09-26): the same four modes as `seedance_2_5` (t2v / omni_reference / video_edit / video_extension), 480p–1080p, start/end image + image/video/audio refs; the 3.5 enum pills are GONE — camera / lens / aperture / era / genre / pacing are free `*_id` strings with no published values, so never invent one [→](#cinema-studio-40)
- 4.0 vs 3.5 at the API: no `multi_shots` / `multi_prompt`, no `genre` enum, no `enhance_prompt`; `prompt` now REQUIRED; audio defaults ON; duration default 5s (range unpublished) [→](#what-changed-from-35-at-the-api)
- Hard 512-character prompt cap; 2.5 @ Element chips eat ~80–100 hidden chars each [→](#-prompt-character-limit--512-characters)
- Elements System: define @Characters/@Locations/@Props once, call everywhere [→](#elements-system--define-once-call-everywhere)
- 3.5 main UI = three pills (Genre / Style / Camera), each Auto by default — override only with a creative reason [→](#the-three-pill-main-surface)
- 7 confirmed 3.5 genres: General · Action · Horror · Comedy · Noir · Drama · Epic — never invent genre names [→](#cinema-studio-35-genres)
- Style presets: 8 Color Palettes · 6 Lighting · 9 Camera Moveset Styles, or free-form Manual Style [→](#style-settings--three-operating-modes)
- Camera axes: 3 bodies · 5 lenses · focal 8/14/35/50/75mm · aperture f/1.4–f/4–f/11; two camera vocabularies coexist — vocabulary follows the selected model [→](#camera-settings--four-axis-panel)
- Output enums: 7 aspect ratios incl. 21:9 · 480p/720p/1080p · duration 4–15s · Sound On/Off [→](#cinema-studio-35-output-controls)
- Lead every delivered shot with the one-line settings strip (UI presets ≠ prompt text; never restate strip values in the body) [→](#per-shot-settings-strip)
- The UI shot counter caps internal cuts — "strictly N shots" must keep N within it (observed cap 4; API exposes no max — UI behavior, verify live) [→](#per-shot-settings-strip)
- Manual Style = saved ≤2,000-char block of project LAWS (grade, lighting law, texture, performance register); it replaces the preset axes [→](#manual-style--authoring-guide)
- 480p drafts validate the prompt, NOT the take — no seed param; transfer a look via Hero Frame + start/end-frame pinning [→](#drafts-validate-the-prompt-not-the-take)
- Resolution matrix has two axes: shot physics × delivery context; 4K-finish pipelines master at model max res in std mode [→](#physics-rendering--resolution-decision-matrix)
- Seedance fast mode cannot output 1080p — drafting in fast then "switching up" silently changes mode AND res [→](#physics-rendering--resolution-decision-matrix)
- Big reference blocks live beside this file: 2.5 + 3.0 per-mode output templates in `references/output-formats-2-5-3-0.md`; Motion / Outfit / Palette / Product sheet specs in `references/reference-sheet-types.md` [→](#per-version-delivery-templates)


Cinema Studio is Higgsfield's professional filmmaking environment — a full production
workflow for multi-shot, character-consistent cinematic content. It's fundamentally
different from single-clip generation: you're building sequences, not individual videos.

## Cinema Studio vs Standard Generation

| | Standard Generation | Cinema Studio 2.5 | Cinema Studio 3.0 (Business/Team Plan) | Cinema Studio 3.5 |
|--|--------------------|--------------------|----------------------------------------|--------------------|
| Output | Single clip | Multi-shot sequence | Multi-shot sequence | Multi-shot sequence |
| Character consistency | Manual / Soul ID only | Reference Anchor system | @ reference system (up to 9 images) | @ reference system (extends 3.0) |
| AI actor generation | Not available | Soul Cast — generate actors from parameters (no photos) | Soul Cast — General (2K) / Character (4K) / Location (4K) modes, 0.125 credits | Same Soul Cast surface — see 3.0 |
| Camera control | Named presets | Director Panel (18 movements) | Director Panel + Smart (auto camera planning) | Camera Settings 4-axis panel (Camera Body / Lens / Focal Length / Aperture) — see Cinema Studio 3.5 section |
| Optical physics | Not available | Full camera body + lens stack | Not available | Available — restored via Camera Settings panel (different vocabulary from 2.5 — see Cinema Studio 3.5 section) |
| Color grading | Not available | Built-in suite (temp, contrast, grain, bloom, etc.) |
