Midjourney will generate up to four five-second clips based on the images you input, though it admits that some settings can produce ‘wonky mistakes.’
AI image generator Midjourney has rolled out an AI image-to-video generator for the first time, bringing it into competition with the likes of OpenAI’s Sora, Google’s Veo 3, and Adobe’s Firefly.
The tool, called V1, is currently only available to desktop users via Midjourney’s Discord app, and you’ll need to sign up for the company’s $10-a-month subscription at a minimum to start using the service.
Users can press “Animate” to make their Midjourney-generated images move. V1 will then produce a set of four five-second videos based on whatever they input.
There are two animation settings you can pick from: “automatic” and “manual.” With the “automatic” setting, the tool creates what the startup calls a “motion prompt” and “just makes things move.” But if you’re after a bit more creative control, the “manual” animation button lets users describe how they want things to move and how the scene should develop.
