Midjourney, a leading AI art platform, officially launched its first video model, V1, on June 18, 2025. This new model transforms images into short, animated clips, marking Midjourney's entry into the AI video generation space. V1 allows users to animate images, either generated within the platform using versions V4-V7 and Niji, or uploaded from external sources. This move sets the stage for a broader strategy that encompasses interactive environments, 3D modeling, and real-time rendering, highlighting the company’s long-term ambitions in immersive media creation.
Early tests of V1 show support for dynamic motion, basic scene transitions, and a range of camera moves, supporting aspect ratios including 16:9, 1:1, and 9:16. The model uses a blend of image and video training data to create clips that are roughly 10 seconds long at 24 frames per second, although other sources indicate clips starting at 5 seconds, with the ability to extend to 20 seconds in 5-second segments. The goal of Midjourney is aesthetic control rather than photorealistic realism with this model. The company is prioritizing safety and alignment before scaling, so at the moment, the alpha is private with no current timeline for general access or pricing.
Midjourney’s V1 distinguishes itself by focusing on animating static images, contrasting with text-to-video engines like OpenAI’s Sora and Google’s Veo 3, and it stands as an economically competitive choice. It is available to all paid users, starting at $10 per month, with varying levels of fast GPU time and priority rendering depending on the plan. Pricing options include a Basic Plan, Pro Plan and Mega Plan, designed to accommodate different usage needs. With over 20 million users already familiar with its image generation capabilities, Midjourney's entry into video is poised to make a significant impact on the creative AI community.
