Midjourney Now Makes Videos: Is It the Right Tool for Your Creative Projects?

The news many of you have been waiting for is here: Midjourney can now create videos. This new ability brings a lot of interesting details we should understand. Midjourney is known for its image quality, and this new video feature adds another layer to what you can do with AI.

The Cost of Creativity: Midjourney Video Pricing

Creating videos with Midjourney has a specific cost structure. It typically costs eight times more than creating a single image. For example, if an image costs 'X', a video will cost '8X'. This might sound like a lot, but it is actually quite low compared to other AI video tools on the market, such as King or Huo. Midjourney's video creation is about 25 times less expensive than these other options. This makes Midjourney a very affordable choice for many users.

Even more surprising, if you have the Pro plan (the $60 per month plan), you can create an unlimited number of videos. Yes, you read that right: no limits on video creation with the Pro plan. This is possible because Midjourney developed a special algorithm that makes video creation more efficient and less costly to run. This affordability means more people can access and use this technology.

Quality and Consistency in Midjourney Videos

Midjourney is famous for its high-quality images. The video quality it produces is also very good. All videos created with Midjourney depend on an initial image. You first create an image, and then you use that image to make a video. The video quality is impressive.

One of the best features is the visual consistency. Midjourney videos show very little distortion. For things that move simply, like a sweater blowing in the wind, you will see strong consistency. For more complex scenes, especially those with people's hands, eyes, or a lot of rapid action, you might see some minor issues. However, simple scenes hold up well.

Creative Applications and Current Limits

Midjourney’s video capabilities open up many creative possibilities. You can make animated videos, hand-drawn style videos, or even more realistic ones. People are using it to make characters dance or create unique character styles.

However, there are still some limits. Current Midjourney models have trouble with text. If you try to include words in your video, they might appear jumbled or incorrect. This is similar to how Midjourney handles text in images, and it carries over to videos. So, if your project needs clear text, this might be a challenge.

Despite this, the consistency in character animation and simpler scenes is very good. If you are looking to enhance your Midjourney experience and automate complex tasks, check out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. This tool helps streamline your creative process.

How to Create Videos with Midjourney

Simple Steps to Get Started

Creating a video is simple if you are familiar with Midjourney. You begin by choosing your text prompt to create an image. After that, you will get four images. You pick the best image from these four. This image acts as the base for your video. Save the image to your computer, then upload it to the Midjourney website. Then, use the same prompt you used to create the image and click the play button to start generating the video.

Controlling Video Movement and Length

By default, Midjourney videos are 5 seconds long. You can make them longer by using stretching options. There are buttons that let you extend your video with more or less movement, depending on what you want. You can also choose a manual movement option, which lets you extend your video using a new prompt. The process is straightforward if you know how to use Midjourney.

Important Note: Website Only (for now)

Currently, this video creation feature works only on the Midjourney website. It is not available on Discord yet. Remember to use the website if you want to try making videos.

Real-World Tests and Learnings

I tried creating different types of videos myself. I made an animation of dancing characters, a realistic image of a woman, and a video of a car moving at high speed. All these attempts looked good and could be useful for projects. My biggest challenge was with text. For example, I tried to have a banner with text appear, but it did not work correctly. In another test, the name I wanted appeared, but it was spelled wrong. These tests show both the good parts and the current limits of the tool.

Is Midjourney Pro Worth It for Video Creation?

Now that Midjourney can create unlimited videos for Pro plan members and offers competitive pricing, is it worth subscribing? For visual content creators, the affordability and quality are big advantages. The main downside is the current problem with text generation. However, if your projects do not rely heavily on clear text within the video itself, Midjourney could be a great new tool for you.
