The right starting question is not "which model should I use?" but "what am I actually trying to make?" Inside a workspace, model choice still matters — it shapes quality, speed, and cost — but a workspace mismatch costs more time than a suboptimal model. Pick the workspace by the task, then pick the model by the result you want. --- ## The Decision Matrix | Your production problem | Start with workspace | |-------------------------|----------------------| | Cinematic scene with deliberate camera direction | Cinema Studio | | Speaking character, dubbing, or avatar video | Lipsync Studio | | Rough idea, sketch, or storyboard test | Draw to Video / Sketch to Video | | Fast short-form or viral-style content | Sora 2 Trends | | Product ad or ecommerce variation | Click to Ad | | Narration, voice swap, or translation | Higgsfield Audio | If the user's task matches more than one row, pick the workspace whose output most closely resembles the final deliverable — you can always chain into another workspace for polish or audio later. --- ## Workspace Descriptions ### Cinema Studio The professional filmmaking environment on Higgsfield. Built for multi-shot, character-consistent sequences where camera direction, genre framing, and visual cohesion matter. Cinema Studio 2.5 offers optical physics (camera body + lens stack) and built-in color grading; Cinema Studio 3.0 (Business/Team plan) adds native audio, Smart camera planning, and longer durations. Choose this workspace when the work needs to feel like a film. For prompt construction, Director Panel use, optical stack selection, and multi-shot planning, see `higgsfield-cinema`. ### Lipsync Studio The workspace for putting words into a character's mouth. It pairs an image, video, or generated face with an audio track and synchronizes the lip movement to the speech. Use it for dubbed performances, talking-head avatars, character dialogue, and lipsync work layered on top of existing video generations. For audio layer design (dialogue, SFX, ambient, BGM) that feeds into Lipsync Studio, see `higgsfield-audio`. For character reference management and Soul Cast avatar generation that commonly sits upstream, see `higgsfield-soul`. ### Draw to Video / Sketch to Video The workspace for turning a rough drawing — a napkin sketch, blocking diagram, storyboard panel — into a generated video. It's the fastest path from "here's the idea on paper" to a moving test. Use it for early ideation, shot-blocking experiments, and pre-production tests before committing credits to a full Cinema Studio build. This workspace is thinly documented in the current skill; for available one-click workflows related to sketch-based generation, see `higgsfield-apps` (Sketch-to-Real and related app listings). ### Sora 2 Trends A templated workspace built on top of the Sora 2 model, tuned for fast, trend-led short-form content. Distinct from picking Sora 2 as a raw model — Trends wraps the model in a workflow optimized for viral pacing, vertical framing, and quick iteration. Use it when the deliverable is TikTok/Reels/Shorts style content and you want the templating rather than full Cinema Studio control. This workspace is thinly documented in the current skill; for Sora 2 model capabilities and for app-level workflow entry points, see `higgsfield-apps`. ### Click to Ad The product-focused ad workspace. Paste a product URL or upload an image and Click to Ad produces a video ad variation tuned for ecommerce use. It's the fastest way to produce packshot-adjacent content without writing a cinematic prompt. Use it for product ads, ecommerce variations, and quick-turn commercial content. For the full Click to Ad decision tree, companion product-ad apps (Packshot, Giant Product, Macro Scene, Billboard Ad, and the rest of the ad family), see `higgsfield-apps`. ### Higgsfield Audio The standalone voice workspace — distinct from Lipsync Studio and from in-video audio generation. It handles voiceovers, voice swaps across existing tracks, and translation workflows where audio is the primary deliverable rather than a layer inside a video. Use it when the output is audio, or when you need a voice asset to feed into a downstream workspace. For audio layer design principles that apply to both standalone and in-video audio work, see `higgsfield-audio`. --- ## The Six-Step Project Logic Every workspace follows the same high-level project flow. Memorizing this sequence means you can navigate any new workspace without re-learning it. 1. **Open the right workspace** — the one matching your production problem. 2. **Choose the right feature** inside it — mode, preset, or tool that fits the specific shot or asset you're producing. 3. **Select the model** that fits the job — quality, speed, and cost tradeoffs live here, inside the workspace you already chose. 4. **Prepare the input** — hero frame, reference image, source video, audio clip, or any starting asset the workspace expects. 5. **Add the prompt, script, or controls** — MCSLA for scene prompts, UI settings for Cinema Studio, motion reference for Motion Control, and so on. 6. **Generate, review, iterate** — expect multiple passes. Change one variable per iteration so you can tell what drove the improvement. --- ## Relationship to MCSLA Workspace-first is a routing layer that sits ABOVE the MCSLA prompt formula. Once you're inside the right workspace, MCSLA (Model · Camera · Subject · Look · Action) still governs how the prompt itself is built. Workspaces don't replace MCSLA — they decide which environment you'll apply MCSLA inside. A Cinema Studio prompt, a Sora 2 Trends prompt, and a Click to Ad prompt all benefit from MCSLA discipline, but the UI controls, defaults, and model options around each prompt are different. Choose the workspace first; then apply MCSLA cleanly inside it. --- ## Related skills - `higgsfield-cinema` — prompt patterns for Cinema Studio (all modes) - `higgsfield-audio` — audio layer design for Lipsync Studio and in-video audio - `higgsfield-soul` — character references and Soul Cast avatars, often upstream of Lipsync - `higgsfield-apps` — one-click workflows, including sketch-based and trend-based entry points - `higgsfield-models` — model selection once a workspace is chosen - `higgsfield-prompt` — MCSLA formula applied inside any workspace
