# Higgsfield Comic To Video

> Animates comic panels, manga pages, webtoons, illustrated storyboards, and sequential art into video using Higgsfield. Routes to wan2_6 (primary, I2V — image required) or seedance_2_0 (fallback). Use when the user wants to animate comics, bring illustrations to life, convert manga to video, animate storyboards, or create motion from static sequential art. Triggers on: comic to video, manga animation, panel animation, storyboard to video, webtoon animation, comic book motion, sequential art, graphic novel animation, or any illustrate-to-animate request.

# Higgsfield Comic-to-Video Skill

## What this skill does

Animates a user-supplied comic panel, manga page, webtoon strip, or sequential art
illustration into video. The skill reads the panel, infers narrative flow, and generates
motion that respects reading order, art-style conventions, and dialogue timing.

**A source image (the comic panel or page) is always required.** This skill is a mandatory
image-to-video (I2V) skill — it cannot run without a start image. Before any generation
call can happen, the user must provide the panel file and the
`higgsfield:media_upload` → `higgsfield:media_confirm` flow must complete successfully.

## Model routing

### Primary and fallback video models

| | wan2_6 (primary) | seedance_2_0 (fallback) |
|---|---|---|
| **Rationale** | Dedicated I2V pipeline; image role is REQUIRED | Genre tone control, flexible duration, additional media roles |
| **Quality / resolution** | `720p`, `1080p` | `480p`, `720p`, `1080p` (default `720p`) |
| **Aspect ratios** | `16:9`, `9:16`, `1:1` | `auto`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` |
| **Duration** | `5`, `10`, `15` s — **discrete set only** | 4–15 s (continuous range) |
| **Image role** | `image` x1 **REQUIRED** | `start_image` or `image` |
| **Genre control** | No | Yes: `auto`, `action`, `horror`, `comedy`, `noir`, `drama`, `epic` |

**Routing rule:** Use `wan2_6` by default. Fall back to `seedance_2_0` when: (1) wan2_6 is
unavailable, (2) the user wants duration outside `[5, 10, 15]`, (3) the user wants genre
tone control, or (4) the user wants audio/end_image roles. Never switch silently — state
what changes.

**MODEL-06 directive:** If a parameter is rejected at generation time, call
`higgsfield:models_explore` with the target model name. Full parameter tables:
[references/model-specs.md](references/model-specs.md).

### Per-platform aspect ratio and duration

Quick rule: `9:16` for TikTok / Reels / Shorts, `16:9` for YouTube, `1:1` for Instagram
feed. Full per-platform table: [references/model-specs.md](references/model-specs.md).

## Prompt-building workflow

1. **Gather intent** — Confirm with the user: reading order (Western LTR / Manga RTL /
   Webtoon Vertical / etc.), source art style, target platform, aspect ratio, and duration.

2. **Select model** — Apply the routing table above. `wan2_6` by default.

3. **Build the prompt** — Use the craft principles in the references below:
   - 2-second hook technique from [references/hooks.md](references/hooks.md)
   - Reading order, art-style preservation, dialogue handling, panel-to-motion techniques
     from [references/panel-craft.md](references/panel-craft.md)
   - Worked example prompts by comic format from [references/examples.md](references/examples.md)

4. **Present for review** — Show the assembled prompt and all parameters to the user
   for review and refinement before any upload or generation call.

## Opt-in generation

Generation costs Higgsfield credits and requires explicit user confirmation. This skill
never auto-generates.

**Full step-by-step flow** (confirmation gate, balance/cost surface, generate → poll → display):
[`../../shared/generation-flow.md`](../../shared/generation-flow.md)

**This skill's primary model:** `wan2_6`

### Media upload — MANDATORY (not conditional)

This skill always requires a source image. The media branch is **not conditional** — it
always runs before generation. Do not skip it.

**Required sequence:**

1. Ask the user to provide the comic panel or page file (PNG, JPG, or WebP).
2. Call `higgsfield:media_upload` with the file → receives a `pending_id`.
3. Call `higgsfield:media_confirm` with the `pending_id` → receives a `confirmed_id`.
4. Attach the `confirmed_id` to the `input_files` array with role `image` before calling
   `higgsfield:generate_video`.

```json
input_files: [{ "id": "<confirmed_id>", "role": "image" }]
```

Never pass a `pending_id` directly to `input_files`. Never attempt generation without
first completing the upload pair. A missing or unconfirmed image will cause wan2_6 to
reject the request.

See [`../../shared/generation-flow.md`](../../shared/generation-flow.md) Step 2b for the
atomic-pair detail and full input_files structure.

**Tool signatures:** [`../../shared/mcp-tools.md`](../../shared/mcp-tools.md)
