Midjourney V1 AI Video Model: Price and How to Try It

Generated image AI platform Midjourney has introduced the V1 video model.

“Fun, easy, beautiful,” he posted on X on Wednesday. “It's available for $10 a month. This is the first video model everyone And it's available now. ”

This appears to be the excavation of competing generated video programs. Openai's SORA is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users for $20/month or $200/month respectively. Google's flow is $249 per month. (Adobe's Firefly starts at $9.99/mo, compatible with up to 20 seconds of video, with Runway's Gen-4 Turbo Video starting at $12/mo).

Midjourney charges more than 8 times more to create videos than images, and each job creates four 5-second videos. In a blog post on the Midjourney website, founder David Holz explains this, writing that price predictions are difficult. The team will see how the V1 will be used next month and adjust from there.

Holz called the V1 a “stepping stone.” This is what Midjourney wants to ultimately create a “real-time open world simulation.” The building block for this is to do image models, video models for those images, 3D models, and do this all quickly (real-time models). Midjourney plans to build and release these models individually, using one version of the video model.

Midjourney users can create images on the platform as usual and move them by pressing “Animation”. Can they choose to do this automatically or manually, and choose between low movements (for more surrounding scenes) or high movements? The video can be “expanded” by a total of four times, approximately 4 seconds at a time.

Users can also animate images from outside of Midjourney. For now, V1 is only on the web.

“Use these technologies responsibly,” writes Holtz.

As Mashable's Timothy Beck Werth reported on Google's VEO 3 launch, misinformation experts have sounded an alarm that AI videos may not be able to distinguish them from real videos right away. (Recent Virus Emotional Support Kangaroo Videos show that it's already happening.) The AI ​​generation has been used by bad actors, such as creating explicit deepfakes (now a federal crime in the US)

“It's not just fun, it can be really useful or even deeper. It can bring the old and new worlds to life all of a sudden,” continued Holtz.

V1 was launched in a universal filed against Disney and the Mid Journey amid recent lawsuits. The lawsuit alleges that the platform was illegally trained with copyrighted content and called Midi Johnny a “bottomless hole in plagiarism.”

Disclosure: Mashable's parent company Ziff Davis filed a lawsuit against Openai in April, claiming it infringed Ziff Davis's copyright in training and operating AI systems.
