# Higgsfield Named Motion Presets

Higgsfield has 100+ named motion presets. Reference them **by exact name** in your prompt
and the platform applies the preset's signature effect. Think of these as VFX macros —
one name triggers a complete pre-built visual effect.

> **Scope caveat** `[FIELD — 13-project community harvest + live
> preset-catalog pull, both 2026-07-18]`: motion presets are the
> **viral-effects / social product**, not the film grammar. None of the 13
> harvested community film/ad productions used a single motion preset —
> serious film work free-prompts its camera through Cinema Studio /
> Seedance block briefs (`../higgsfield-camera/SKILL.md`,
> `../higgsfield-seedance/SKILL.md`). Separately, the live catalog pull
> showed ~100 unique preset names expanded into ~1,900 per-model variants
> (kling / higgsfield / wan / minimax / seedance families with baked
> params); category weights at pull time skewed to effects/viral/vfx/ugc. Route preset requests here as ever — but don't
> steer a filmmaking request into presets when free-prompted camera language
> is the production-proven path.

**How to use in a prompt:**
```
[Your scene description.] Apply the [Preset Name] preset.
