Midjourney Video: Simple Steps to Animate Your Images

Imagine turning your pictures into captivating short videos without needing any editing skills. With Midjourney Video, you can! This guide will show you how to take your ideas and create amazing 5-second animations, or even longer ones, up to 21 seconds. Whether you are new to video creation or have some experience, you will learn how to make professional-looking clips today.

What Is Midjourney Video?

Released in June 2025, Midjourney Video lets you animate your images into dynamic clips. The basic plan for this feature costs $10 each month, which gives you enough time to create videos. For those who want to make many videos, a more comprehensive plan is available.

How to Get Started

Your First AI Video: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Create or Upload an Image

Every Midjourney video starts with an image. You can either make a new image using Midjourney's AI tools or upload one you already have. For this guide, let's create a new image directly in Midjourney. After your image is made, select your favorite and download it.

[B]Helpful Tip:[/B] You can change your image's width-to-height ratio by typing commands with your prompt or using the options menu.[/P]

Step 2: Animate Your Image

This is where your image comes to life! Open your image on Midjourney's website. You will see an "animate" button. You have two ways to animate:

[LI]

[B]Auto:[/B] Midjourney decides the motion. This is great for quick results.

[/LI]

[LI]

[B]Manual:[/B] You describe the movement, like "a slow zoom into the city with glowing lights."

[/LI]

For smooth scenes, choose low motion to avoid issues. High motion can create exciting effects but might be less refined. We will look at both auto options for low and high motion to see the differences.

[B]Pro Tip for Heavy Users:[/B] If you create many videos, consider the Midjourney Pro version. It offers an "unlimited generation" option called "relaxed mode." While it can take about 5 minutes per video, it allows for endless creations. In contrast, "fast mode" makes videos in under a minute.[/P]

Step 3: Generate and Extend Your Video

Click "generate," and Midjourney will create four 5-second videos at standard resolution. Choose the one you like best. You can make it longer by adding 4 seconds up to four times, for a total of 21 seconds. Keep in mind that making a video uses more processing time than making an image, so use your time wisely if you are on a credit-based plan. For those making many videos or needing a faster workflow, the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT can help streamline this process, allowing you to manage and generate animated content more efficiently.

Step 4: Download and Share

Once your video is ready, download it as an MP4 file. You can then share it on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram. To make your video even better, use a free editor like CapCut to add music or other effects. Using low motion often results in a smooth, professional-looking video, which is great for calm or cinematic clips. This simple choice can make your video stand out.

Add Free Sound Effects to Your Videos

You can make amazing sound effects for your videos using a free AI tool. Here is how:
