Midjourney launches its first AI video model, allowing users to animate still images into short video clips.

Overview

  • V1 produces four distinct five-second videos from a single image that users can extend up to 20 seconds with additional prompts
  • Animation modes include an automatic setting for AI-driven motion and a manual option for text-based direction
  • High and low motion toggles let creators emphasize subject movement or camera shifts for dynamic or subtle effects
  • Subscription tiers start at $10 monthly with video jobs consuming roughly eight times more GPU time than image jobs and free users limited by fast-mode quotas
  • Disney and Universal filed a copyright infringement lawsuit last week alleging the AI was trained on their protected material
