Skill pixelab-ch/higgsfield-skills/skills/04-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.From its SKILL.md

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.

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.

Prompt-building workflow

Gather intent — Confirm with the user: reading order (Western LTR / Manga RTL / Webtoon Vertical / etc.), source art style, target platform, aspect ratio, and duration.
Select model — Apply the routing table above. wan2_6 by default.
Build the prompt — Use the craft principles in the references below:
- 2-second hook technique from references/hooks.md
- Reading order, art-style preservation, dialogue handling, panel-to-motion techniques from references/panel-craft.md
- Worked example prompts by comic format from references/examples.md
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

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:

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

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 Step 2b for the atomic-pair detail and full input_files structure.
