Check it worked

PromptCopy

Check you can see my Higgsfield tools, then tell me in two lines what you can edit for me.

Then type /mcp inside Claude Code and sign in to Higgsfield.

No install? The paste-in prompt

The same editor as one prompt. Start a new chat with Higgsfield on, upload your clip and paste this:

PromptCopy

You are my video editor, working through the Higgsfield connector. Take my footage through these jobs in order, one at a time, with before and after for each:
1. COLOR GRADE. Use /miracle color grading if available, else Higgsfield's /color-grade: a look or my reference stills, preview first, at most three small tweaks. Protect skin tones.
2. CUT-OUT. Use /miracle rotobrush if available, else Higgsfield's background removal on the video. For text behind me, use /text-behind.
3. CLEAN UP. Use /miracle clean up if available, else (clips of 4 to 30 seconds) Higgsfield's video edit workflow to remove the object and keep my motion. One object per pass.
4. OFFER. For the free trial, run /miracle offer or open Higgsfield's trial screen and give me the terms word for word.
Rules: tell me before any step that uses credits and wait for my yes. Only use free trial generations when I say so. Never buy anything for me. Plain words. Check every result. Give me download links at the end.
First check you can see the Higgsfield tools. If not, tell me how to connect them and stop.

What the editor does

The Miracle Editor tells Claude which Higgsfield tool to use for each editing job, in which order, and what to check before it shows you the result.

It uses the /miracle commands when your Higgsfield account shows them. When it doesn't, the skill does the same job with Higgsfield's own grade, cut-out and edit tools, so it works either way.

How to use it

Do the jobs in this order. The grade goes first so every later step carries the final look.

1. Upload the original file. Not a screen recording, and not a clip saved back from a social app. Compression makes every step worse.
2. Say what it's for and how it should feel. "A Reel, warm and nostalgic" is enough.
3. Grade. Claude shows a preview. Say "warmer", "softer" or "protect the skin more" until you like it, then let it render.
4. Clean up. Name one object and where it is. Check it. Then the next.
5. Cut out. Only if you want text behind your subject or a new background.
6. Save everything. Ask for download links at the end. Files in the working space are temporary.

• Good at: grading real footage to a look, matching several clips to one grade, saving a look as a LUT file for your own editor, cutting a subject out on every frame, words behind your head, removing one object from a steady short shot.
• Not good at: moving the lights in your shot, turning a day shot into a real night scene, cleaning up a fast whip pan, and long clips: the video edit route takes 4 to 30 seconds at a time.
• Have After Effects or DaVinci Resolve? Higgsfield also has /shot-cleanup (After Effects) and /color-grading (DaVinci Resolve Studio). They run on your own computer through Claude Code or the Code tab of the Claude desktop app.

Your 3 free days, planned

Higgsfield gives new users 3 days free. Sign up through my 3 free days link, or type /miracle offer in a chat with Higgsfield connected.

1. Read the trial terms on the screen. A card is needed, and the trial rolls into a paid plan unless you cancel.
2. Set a reminder for day 3 now.
3. To stop the renewal at any time, type "Cancel auto-renewal on my Higgsfield trial" in Claude.
4. Free trial generations are opt-in. Say "use my free trial generations" when you want Claude to use them.

• Day 1: set up and grade. Connect Higgsfield, upload the skill, and grade three of your own clips. Save the look you like best as a LUT. Set your day 3 reminder.
• Day 2: clean up and cut out. Take your best clip, remove the one thing that bugs you in it, and try text behind you on a talking clip.
• Day 3: finish one real video. Edit one complete piece with what you made, post it, then decide whether to keep Higgsfield before the trial ends.

Grade looks to paste

Upload your clip first, then paste. Fill in anything in [brackets].

Warm cinematic

PromptCopy

Grade this clip with a warm cinematic look. Deepen the shadows a little, keep skin tones natural and do not crush the blacks. Show me a preview before you render.

Match my reference stills

PromptCopy

Grade my clip to match the look of the stills I uploaded. Match the color and contrast, protect the skin, and show me a before and after preview.

Cool moody night

PromptCopy

Give this clip a cool, moody look: blue-green shadows, soft highlights, a gentle vignette. Keep faces natural, not grey. Preview first.

Bright and clean

PromptCopy

Make this look bright, clean and modern, like a premium product video. Lift the shadows a little, keep whites white and colors true. Preview first.

Vintage film

PromptCopy

Give this a vintage film look: warm highlights, soft contrast, fine grain and a little halation around the bright spots. Keep it subtle.

Silver and dramatic

PromptCopy

Give this a bleach bypass look: silvery, high contrast, low color. Keep skin from going grey. Preview first.

Same look on every clip

PromptCopy

Use exactly the same grade you just made on this next clip, so the two cut together without a jump in color.

Save the look as a LUT

PromptCopy

Export the grade you just made as a .cube LUT file in a zip, so I can reuse it in my own editor.

Before and after wipe

PromptCopy

Use Higgsfield's /grade-wipe on my vertical clip: a wipe from the flat original to the graded version early in the clip, with Before and After labels.

Cut-outs and clean ups to paste

Cut out my subject

PromptCopy

Cut [the person or object, e.g. the woman in the yellow coat] out of this clip on every frame and give me the cut-out file. Tell me the credit cost first.

Text behind me

PromptCopy

Use /text-behind on my talking clip. Put the key word from each point I make behind my head as I say it. Tell me the credit cost first.

Freeze frame name tag

PromptCopy

Use /freeze-frame on this clip. When I say [the name or item], freeze the frame and show it as a tag next to me.

Before and after card

PromptCopy

Use /over-the-shoulder on this clip. When I say the numbers, show a card beside me with before [value] and after [value].

Remove a sign

PromptCopy

Remove [the object and where it is, e.g. the red sign on the wall behind the skater] from the whole clip and rebuild the wall behind it so nobody can tell it was there. Tell me the cost first.

Remove a stray person

PromptCopy

Remove [the person and where they are, e.g. the man walking past on the left] from this clip. Keep everything else exactly the same: my movement, the framing and the timing.

Remove a small object

PromptCopy

Remove [the object, e.g. the coffee cup on the desk] from this clip. One object only. Show me the result before doing anything else.

The trial and the whole edit

Unlock the trial

PromptCopy

/miracle offer

What my trial covers

PromptCopy

Which Higgsfield models can I use my free trial generations on, and how long do I have left?

Stop the renewal

PromptCopy

Cancel auto-renewal on my Higgsfield trial.

Do the whole edit

PromptCopy

I am editing this clip for a [Reel / ad / YouTube video]. It should feel [mood]. Step 1: color grade it and show me a preview. Step 2: remove [object]. Step 3: cut out [subject] so I can put text behind them. Ask me before any step that uses credits, and give me download links at the end.
