Overview

• Midjourney’s V1 generates four five-second videos from an uploaded or AI-generated image with options to extend clips up to 21 seconds.
• Users choose between automatic animation presets or manual text prompts and adjust camera movement with high-motion and low-motion settings.
• V1 is accessible through Discord and the web upon subscribing to Midjourney’s plans, with basic access priced at $10 monthly.
• The company charges eight times more per video than per image generation and plans to reassess video pricing over the next month.
• The launch coincides with lawsuits filed by Disney and Universal alleging copyright infringement and positions Midjourney against AI rivals like OpenAI, Google and Adobe.
