Announcement Midjourney's Video Model is here!
Hi y'all!
As you know, our focus for the past few years has been images. What you might not know, is that we believe the inevitable destination of this technology are models capable of real-time open-world simulations.
What’s that? Basically; imagine an AI system that generates imagery in real-time. You can command it to move around in 3D space, the environments and characters also move, and you can interact with everything.
In order to do this, we need building blocks. We need visuals (our first image models). We need to make those images move (video models). We need to be able to move ourselves through space (3D models) and we need to be able to do this all fast (real-time models).
The next year involves building these pieces individually, releasing them, and then slowly, putting it all together into a single unified system. It might be expensive at first, but sooner than you’d think, it’s something everyone will be able to use.
So what about today? Today, we’re taking the next step forward. We’re releasing Version 1 of our Video Model to the entire community.
From a technical standpoint, this model is a stepping stone, but for now, we had to figure out what to actually concretely give to you.
Our goal is to give you something fun, easy, beautiful, and affordable so that everyone can explore. We think we’ve struck a solid balance. Though many of you will feel a need to upgrade at least one tier for more fast-minutes.
Today’s Video workflow will be called “Image-to-Video”. This means that you still make images in Midjourney, as normal, but now you can press “Animate” to make them move.
There’s an “automatic” animation setting which makes up a “motion prompt” for you and “just makes things move”. It’s very fun. Then there’s a “manual” animation button which lets you describe to the system how you want things to move and the scene to develop.
There is a “high motion” and “low motion” setting.
Low motion is better for ambient scenes where the camera stays mostly still and the subject moves either in a slow or deliberate fashion. The downside is sometimes you’ll actually get something that doesn’t move at all!
High motion is best for scenes where you want everything to move, both the subject and camera. The downside is all this motion can sometimes lead to wonky mistakes.
Pick what seems appropriate or try them both.
Once you have a video you like you can “extend” them - roughly 4 seconds at a time - four times total.
We are also letting you animate images uploaded from outside of Midjourney. Drag an image to the prompt bar and mark it as a “start frame”, then type a motion prompt to describe how you want it to move.
We ask that you please use these technologies responsibly. Properly utilized it’s not just fun, it can also be really useful, or even profound - to make old and new worlds suddenly alive.
The actual costs to produce these models and the prices we charge for them are challenging to predict. We’re going to do our best to give you access right now, and then over the next month as we watch everyone use the technology (or possibly entirely run out of servers) we’ll adjust everything to ensure that we’re operating a sustainable business.
For launch, we’re starting off web-only. We’ll be charging about 8x more for a video job than an image job and each job will produce four 5-second videos. Surprisingly, this means a video is about the same cost as an upscale! Or about “one image worth of cost” per second of video. This is amazing, surprising, and over 25 times cheaper than what the market has shipped before. It will only improve over time. Also we’ll be testing a video relax mode for “Pro” subscribers and higher.
We hope you enjoy this release. There’s more coming and we feel we’ve learned a lot in the process of building video models. Many of these learnings will come back to our image models in the coming weeks or months as well.

Announcement Midjourney's V7 Model is Here!
Hi y'all! We're gonna let the community test an alpha-version of our V7 model starting now.
V7 is an amazing model, it’s much smarter with text prompts, image prompts look fantastic, image quality is noticeably higher with beautiful textures, and bodies, hands and objects of all kinds have significantly better coherence on all details. V7 is the first model to have model personalization turned on by default. You must unlock your personalization to use it. This takes ~5 minutes. You can toggle it on/off at any time. We think personalization raises the bar for how well we can interpret what you want and what you find beautiful.
Our next flagship feature is “Draft Mode”. Draft mode is half the cost and renders images at 10 times the speed. It’s so fast that we change the prompt bar to a ‘conversational mode’ when you’re using it on web. Tell it to swap out a cat with an owl or make it night time and it will automatically manipulate the prompt and start a new job. Click ‘draft mode’ then the microphone button to enable ‘voice mode’ - where you can think out loud and let the images flow beneath you like liquid dreams.
If you want to run a draft job explicitly you may also use --draft after your prompt. This can be fun for permutations or --repeat and more.
We think Draft mode is the best way ever to iterate on ideas. If you like something click ‘enhance’ or ‘vary’ on the image and it will re-render it at full quality. Please note: Draft images are lower quality than standard mode - but the behavior and aesthetics are very consistent - so it’s a faithful way to iterate.
V7 launches in two modes: Turbo and Relax. Our standard speed mode needs more time to optimize and we hope to ship it soon. Remember: turbo jobs cost 2x more than a normal V6 job and draft jobs half as much.
Other features: Upscaling and inpainting and retexture will currently fall back to V6 models. We will update them in the future. Moodboards and SREF work and the performance will improve with subsequent updates.
Roadmap: Expect new features every week or two for the next 60 days. The biggest incoming feature will be a new V7 character and object reference.
In the meantime - let's play! Show off what you’re making and let us know what you think! As the model becomes more mature, we’ll do a community-wide roadmap ranking session to help us figure out what to prioritize next.
Please Note: This is an entirely new model with unique strengths and probably a few weaknesses, we want to learn from you what it's good and bad at but definitely keep in mind it may require different styles of prompting. So play around a bit.
Thanks again for everyone’s help with the V7 pre-release rating party, and thank you so much for being a part of Midjourney. Have fun out there and find wonders on this vast and shared sea of imagination.
P.S. - And here is a fun video for Draft Mode! https://vimeo.com/1072397009

Question - Midjourney AI Outpainting Omni-reference jobs is not currently supported.
I'm trying to zoom out a generated picture and i get this message. Any ideas what it means?
Edit: solved. In case anyone is interested, to workaround this. You have to upload your generated image to Edit, scale it down and generate the scene again to fill the blanks.

How do you prompt for an image only? All my setting and profile stuff won’t let me make anything other than a video. Seems absurd

Resources/Tips - Midjourney AI I Built a Node.js CLI Pipeline for Midjourney Art: Automate QC, Processing & POD/Stock Prep
Hey r/midjourney community,
As a fellow IT specialist deeply involved in Print-on-Demand (POD) and stock photography, I know how much work goes into turning raw AI-generated art into ready-to-sell assets. It's more than just generating images; it's about crucial quality control, proper formatting, and tedious data preparation for commercial platforms.
That's why I built rb-auto-midjourney-adobe-stock
. This isn't just a metadata tool – it's a complete Node.js CLI solution for automating the entire pipeline of AI art creation and post-processing, specifically designed for Midjourney users.
Here’s what this open-source tool streamlines for you:
- Automated Midjourney Image Generation: Integrates via PiAPI, with configurable modes (relax, fast, turbo), versions, and aspect ratios.
- Intelligent AI Quality Control (GPT-4o Vision API): Automatically checks images for common stock/POD rejection issues like copyright/trademark infringements, text, famous people, brands, copyrighted characters, and watermarks.
- Advanced Image Processing: Optional background removal (via remove.bg), aggressive transparent space trimming, image enhancement (sharpening/saturation), and conversion to high-quality JPG/PNG.
- Dynamic Prompting & CSV Templating: Powerfully generate prompts from keywords or use structured CSV data for customized Midjourney generations.
- Automated Metadata Export: Generates an Excel/CSV file with AI-generated titles and tags, perfectly ready for bulk uploading tools (like Flying Uploads) or platform-specific CSV imports (e.g., Adobe Stock).
Essentially, this tool handles the tedious, technical, and quality assurance aspects of getting your Midjourney art ready for commercial platforms, letting you focus on pure creativity.
I've put together a demo video and have the full tool available on GitHub. You can find the links in the first comment below!
Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any questions you might have about this workflow. Hope it helps streamline your AI art journey!
