Midjourney’s AI Video Generator

What if your still images could breathe?

Midjourney—known for creating some of the most stunning AI-generated visuals online—has now stepped into the world of motion. With their new video generator, creators can transform static images into short cinematic loops lasting 5 to 21 seconds.

Here’s what makes it powerful:

• Prompt-to-video control – You describe a mood or motion, and Midjourney animates it with surreal flow and camera effects.

• Image extension – Got a static image? Midjourney can animate around it, giving life to a still piece (ideal for looping videos or reels).

• Adjustable duration – Choose between quick 5s loops or more dramatic 21s clips. Perfect for B-roll, intros, or subtle motion art.

• Creative possibilities – Imagine animating dreamscapes, brand visuals, or concept art into Instagram-worthy loops… all without After Effects.

Curious about some Creative Use Cases?

• Animate a fantasy landscape for your book trailer

• Turn a product mockup into a video ad background

• Give your art portfolio a living canvas feel

• Create captivating looped visuals for reels or TikToks

The Pricing & Access Bit 

You’ll need a Midjourney subscription (starting at $10/month), and video jobs currently cost ~8x the GPU time of a single image generation—so you’ll want to budget accordingly. But honestly? Even one good video loop is worth it for a powerful brand visual, reel, or launch teaser.
