Create videos with Higgsfield, short or long
Make AI videos on VideoBB with your own Higgsfield key. Make single clips that become Shorts, or Story mode films up to five minutes long.
VideoBB can make videos with Higgsfield, an AI video service, using your own Higgsfield API key. Higgsfield bills each generation to your Higgsfield account, not VideoBB. You can make a single clip, or use Story mode for a continuous film of up to five minutes.
Add your Higgsfield key
- Create an API key in your Higgsfield Cloud account.
- Open the upload page and choose Create with Higgsfield.
- Paste the key as KEY_ID:KEY_SECRET, exactly as Higgsfield shows it, and save it.
- The key is stored encrypted and used only to call Higgsfield for you. You can remove it at any time.
Make a single clip
- Choose Single clip.
- Describe the scene in 8 to 1,500 characters.
- Pick a shape (9:16, 16:9 or 1:1), a length of 5 to 30 seconds, 1080p or 720p, and Private draft, Unlisted or Public (the menu starts on your default visibility; Public needs a chosen display name).
- Press Generate.
Clips are short, so they become Shorts automatically; see Shorts: videos of three minutes or less.
Make a longer film with Story mode
Higgsfield makes clips of about ten seconds. Story mode shoots your film shot by shot. Each shot starts from the last frame of the shot before, so the subject, setting and motion carry on. Then the shots are joined into one continuous video.
- Choose Story.
- Pick a length from 30 seconds (3 shots) to 5 minutes (30 shots), and a shape.
- Describe the film, then write one shot per line, or let Gemini write the shot list.
- Leave Soft crossfade between shots on or off, then press Generate the film.
Letting Gemini write the shot list
Gemini runs on your own Gemini key, and Google bills you for it. It is the same key the editor's AI assistant uses, so you only add it once.
Following progress
Progress is shown shot by shot, and you can leave the page. Your generations are also listed under Imports in your studio. Each generation counts as one import toward your daily limit.
Rules and labels
- Higgsfield's own content rules apply, and Higgsfield refuses unsafe prompts.
- AI-generated videos are labelled as such in their description.
- Your upload defaults apply to every generation.
