Midjourney published The first version of the video generation Model for the audience. For now, the tool can generate compact films based on images sent or created on the platform, but Midjourney plans to introduce more opportunities in the future.
After creating the image using Midjourney, the service will display a modern “Animate” button, which users can press to create a 5-second clip based on a text line. It will also display the option to add a picture sent to the platform as a “starting frame” for the film. The tool will generate a general prompt, which by default “simply makes everything moves”, but the “manual” button allows users to describe how traffic they want to look.
Users It can extend the animation by four seconds to four times, creating a total of 21-second video. There are also high and low traffic settings that control both the movement of the object and the camera or just the topic.
The AI Midjourney video generator is currently available only on the Internet and via the Discord Server server. It requires a subscription of the service, which starts from $ 10 / month for 3.3 hours of “fast” GPU time (about 200 generations of images). Startup claims that he downloads “about 8x more video than a picture task”, adding around “one picture of the cost” per second video “.
Midjourney is currently the subject of a lawsuit of Disney and Universal, which cited the perspective of launching a video generator as a special problem. He claims that Midjourney offers “virtual vending machines, generating endless copies of Disney and Universal’s Copyright.” Video generation model in progress was first announced in JanuaryAnd Disney and Universal argued that his training process meant that “Midjourney was very likely to violate the work protected by copyright.”
In the post announcing the generator, the founder of Midjourney David Holz claims that this first version is simply a “stepping stone” because the startup works to create “models capable of simulation of open world in real time.” Google, Opeli and Meta have also launched AI video generators, all of which can generate hints.
