Genjutsu 30 reference images vs Sume's 1 to 8
Higgsfield's Genjutsu takes up to 30 reference images. Sume's higgsfield-genjutsu takes one source video plus 1 to 8 reference images, at 480p or 720p.

Higgsfield's Genjutsu takes a 4 to 30 second video and up to 30 reference images per generation, with output up to 1080p. Sume's higgsfield-genjutsu is narrower: one source video, 1 to 8 reference images, 480p or 720p, and 4 to 30 seconds. If you plan more than 8 references or a 1080p output, the Sume limits are the ones to design around.
Limits side by side
The Higgsfield column is from the Genjutsu announcement; the Sume column is from the Video Router and video generation docs.
| Item | Higgsfield | Sume |
|---|---|---|
| Source video | 4-30 s | One video_url, 4-30 s |
| Reference images | Up to 30 per generation | 1 to 8 reference_image_urls |
| Output | Up to 1080p | 480p or 720p |
Staying inside the Sume limit
Pick the 8 references that matter most: the ones that carry the subject's identity or the object you want swapped in. Fewer, clearer references are easier to review than a crowd. The model is called through the Video Router route with video_url plus reference_image_urls, and it accepts video references but not audio.
Because the model is listed only when its provider is configured, read GET /v1/video-router/models before you build around it.

}'If you need more than 8
- Split the work into two passes, each with its own set of up to 8 references.
- Merge several views of one object into a single contact-sheet image to carry more views per slot.
- For 1080p, plan an upscale as a separate step, since the model tops out at 720p on Sume.
