Higgsfield announced Cinema Studio 4.0 on October 28, expanding the length of AI-generated scenes and the controls available before and after generation, according to its product release.
The company says the updated workspace can create 30-second, multi-shot scenes using up to 50 references. Its previous 3.5 version supported 15-second clips and nine references.
A new Director's Panel lets users adjust genre, period, editing pace, camera style and lens characteristics. The announcement describes seven genres and period settings ranging from the 1960s through the 2020s.
The color-grading library expands from eight presets to more than 50. Lighting controls include color, brightness, diffusion and angle, while additional camera movements include point-of-view, robot-arm and helicopter shots.
Higgsfield also introduced an Emotion Wheel for directing facial expressions and body language. References can include uploaded material and characters created within its platform, including elements from earlier Cinema Studio versions.
The company says users can extend shots and make targeted changes without recreating an entire clip. These capabilities are described by Higgsfield; the announcement does not provide independent comparisons of output quality or consistency.
