Midjourney just launched first video model
Curious if anyone has used video yet? I canceled my Midjourney subscription a while ago.

The Rundown: Midjourney just launchedthe company’s first video generation model, a web-only system enabling users to animate any image into 5-second clips — coming just days after Disney and Universal sued the company for copyright theft.
The details:
- V1 transforms images through either automatic animation or manual prompts, where users can describe specific camera movements and actions.
- Each job creates four 5-second clips extendable to 20 seconds, priced at 8x image costs — which Midjourney says is 25x cheaper than rivals.
- V1 can handle images from both Midjourney and external options, with video outputs having the signature feel found in the startup’s image models.
- CEO David Holz said V1 is a stepping stone towards real-time open-world simulations, which require the building blocks of image, video, and 3D models.
Why it matters: While other video models have converged on similar styles and aesthetics, V1 outputs have a vibe that holds true to MJ’s popular image models. Being I2V only and having no audio capabilities like Veo 3, V1 won’t compare directly to top rivals — but is definitely an interesting start to the company’s future holodeck vision.
