Overview

  • V1 generates four five-second videos from a user-supplied image and allows up to four four-second extensions for a maximum clip length of 21 seconds.
  • The model is accessible now on Discord and the web under Midjourney’s $10/month Basic plan, with Pro and Mega subscribers receiving unlimited video generations in Relax mode.
  • Built-in settings let users choose automatic animations or text-based directives for specific motion and adjust camera or subject movement intensity.
  • Midjourney CEO David Holz says the company will follow V1 with AI models for 3D renderings and real-time open-world simulations.
  • The launch follows copyright infringement lawsuits from Disney and Universal and Midjourney will reassess its video model pricing over the next month.
