Midjourney unveils AI video model amidst plagiarism accusations
Midjourney just dropped its first AI video tool, V1, which transforms your still images into creative 5-21 seconds video clips.
It's available on Discord for now and gives you control over animation style and motion intensity.
With this launch, Midjourney is stepping up to compete with big names like OpenAI and Adobe.
V1 focuses on surreal, artsy videos
V1 focuses on surreal, artsy videos—you can choose between subtle or dramatic motion, and even extend clips in four-second jumps up to 21 seconds.
Each video task costs about eight times more than an image but is still way cheaper than older options—over 25 times less, actually.
Unlimited use comes with Pro ($60/month) or Mega ($120/month) plans in Relax Mode; all users get Fast Mode access, but it is not unlimited.
Early feedback suggests people are loving the unique artistic vibe
Unlike other AI tools that chase movie-like realism, V1 is all about creative expression.
While there have been some copyright concerns from companies like Disney, early feedback suggests people are loving the unique artistic vibe it brings to the table.
