Exploring Midjourney’s Latest AI Video Model

Understanding Midjourney Video

Midjourney video is currently best for “artsy” and artistic videos. It focuses on visual appeal. Unlike some other tools, Midjourney videos currently have some specific details:

Access and Usage

You can start making Midjourney videos with a $10 a month plan. The system uses “fast hours” instead of a credit system. Making a video uses about four times the resources of an image upscaling task. With the basic plan, you can likely create 10 to 30 videos each month.

There are two main ways to create a video:

Select an existing image, then choose “animate image.” You can pick low motion, high motion, or manual. Manual lets you add a new text prompt.

Seeing What Others Create

One great part about Midjourney is seeing what other users make. Go to the “explore” tab and filter by “video.” You will see many creations. Most videos are short, usually around 4 seconds. Many of them are illustrations, anime, or cartoons. Midjourney excels with these artistic styles, though it can also make realistic-looking people and scenes.

Standout Examples

Here are some cool examples of what people are making:

An otter in water: This video shows great water movement and clear views through the water.

Making Your Own Midjourney Videos

Creating your own video is easy. You can start with an image you find on the explore page or one you already have. Drag this image to the “starting frame” section. Then, type a text prompt to describe the motion or scene you want.

Tips for Prompts

Even with simple prompts, the results can be impressive. For example, a basic prompt generated several cool video options for one user. A prompt like “frog jumps up as camera zooms out” created a realistic frog hopping. The camera movement might need more specific instructions. Just keep experimenting with your prompts to get the exact results you want.
