Midjourney has finally crossed the still-image frontier. Its Video V1 model, unveiled for all subscribers on 18–19 June 2025, turns any picture—uploaded or AI-generated—into four five-second clips that can be extended to a maximum of 21 seconds in length, at roughly eight image-credits per job techcrunch.comtheverge.com. Two motion presets and an optional “manual” text prompt give users control over camera flow and subject animation updates.midjourney.com. Early reviewers say the results “surpass expectations” in coherence, yet the launch is tempered by hard caps and a looming Disney/Universal copyright suit testingcatalog.comtecheblog.comomni.se. Below is a complete rundown of everything that surfaced in the last 48 hours. Midjourney’s first video model sits on top of its V7 image pipeline: generate or upload a still, hit Animate, and the backend diffusion engine interpolates motion across 120–630 frames depending on clip length siliconangle.com. The tool lives on the web and costs about 8× an image render—approximately one image-credit per second of video updates.midjourney.comventurebeat.com.
