Midjourney Video: Create Eye-Catching Content for Your Projects

Midjourney has stepped into the video creation space, and people are excited. While some compare it to tools like V3, Midjourney offers a unique way to make amazing videos. It costs less than some other options, making it a strong choice for video makers. One big feature is that you can use your own face in AI images or videos, which is a game-changer.

Finding Your Way in Midjourney Video

To get started with Midjourney's new video model, just go to midjourney.com. Sign up or sign in, and you will see your main area. Here you can see images and videos others have made. The videos look impressive, from detailed product shots to realistic scenes. The quality is very clear and smooth.

Making Videos in Midjourney

There are two main ways to begin creating videos in Midjourney. You can type your prompt directly or click on "create" to open a chat-like interface.

Crafting Your Prompts

Midjourney's video model does not directly turn text into video. Instead, you create an image first, then turn that image into a video. For your images, you can type a simple prompt. If you need help, use a tool like ChatGPT to expand your simple idea into a detailed Midjourney prompt. For instance, you can ask for a prompt for "a close-up shot shoulder up of white Bigfoot. It should clearly capture the face while he’s wearing an Apple headset and nodding his head like listening to music." Then, copy the good parts and use them in Midjourney.

Adjusting Settings for Your Video

Before you make your images, you can change a few settings. Click the settings icon to adjust:

[LI]Weirdness[/LI>

[LI]Variety[/LI]

[LI]Speed[/LI]

[LI]Version[/LI]

[LI]Mode[/LI]

[LI]Image size (like vertical for TikTok, 9:16, or landscape for YouTube, 16:9)[/LI]

[/UL]

Once your image is ready, you can pick one to animate. Midjourney gives you four images to choose from after you generate.

Bringing Images to Life with Motion

To animate your chosen image, simply click "animate." You can add motion by choosing "low motion" for calmer movements or "high motion" for more active scenes. You can let the AI do it automatically or control it manually. For more specific actions, like a character walking, choose the manual option and add those details to your prompt. This gives you more control over the final video.

Making Your Videos Longer and More Detailed

A great feature in Midjourney is the ability to extend your videos. You can make a 5-second video into a 10-second one, or even longer. When you extend, you can choose auto or manual high/low motion. Using manual allows you to add new actions to your character, like standing up or walking. The system keeps the character looking the same, which is a big help for making short movies.

To make the most of Midjourney's video capabilities and truly scale your content, consider using the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. It can help streamline your video creation process and make consistent character generation even easier.

Mixing Shot Types and Scenes

You can create different types of shots, like close-ups or mid-shots, and add camera moves like zooming in or out. Just add phrases like "quick zoom in" to your prompt. You can even combine scenes, like a character zooming in and then a dragon appearing, though some elements might not look as realistic as others. This process lets you build out complex video stories.

Observations and Challenges

Midjourney videos often look very clean and clear. While this is great for some projects, it can sometimes make them look less "real" compared to other AI video tools. Another challenge is that Midjourney videos do not come with audio. The resolution is also 420p, which is lower than some might prefer. However, these are minor points for many, as the quality is still high.

Bringing Your Face into AI Videos

Midjourney has a cool feature that lets you use a reference image, such as your own face, to create new images and then videos. You can upload your picture, then adjust its influence (Omni strength) to help Midjourney create a character that looks like you. You might need to try a few times to get the best result. This is great for putting yourself or someone you know into AI-generated scenes, adding a personal touch to your videos.

Creating Cartoon Videos

Midjourney is also good at making cartoon videos, both 2D and 3D. However, it can sometimes have policy issues with certain cartoon words, like "Disney character," so you might need to try different prompts. When it works, the cartoons look very good because of their clarity.

Adding Sound to Your Midjourney Videos

Since Midjourney does not offer audio, you need to use other tools to add sound. Here are a couple of ways:

• [B]For images:[/B] If you create an image of a person, download it. Then, use a tool like Dreamina. Upload your image and add an audio file. Dreamina can lip-sync the audio to the image, making your character "talk."

• [B]For videos:[/B] If you have a video from Midjourney, download it. Then, use an app like Dreamface (tools.dreamfaceapp.com). Upload your video and an audio file. The app will sync the audio to the video. This is how you can make your Midjourney characters speak or add background music and sound effects.

Conclusion

Midjourney's new video features are impressive. They offer a strong way to create detailed and visually appealing videos.

By combining it with external audio tools, you can produce complete cinematic experiences.
