First test of Midjourney's new video feature
The new video version of Midjourney has just been released, and after testing it in depth, I can say one thing: It's really impressive!
My focus naturally fell on animated renderings, a style that made me want to start this business. From the first tests, I quickly understood the enormous potential that this new feature represents for the creation of visual content.
The strengths that won me over
Exceptional artistic quality of creative renderings
The first striking aspect is the artistic quality of the outputs. She is just amazing. Illustrations literally come to life with a finesse that I've rarely seen elsewhere in the video generative AI tool ecosystem.
This ability to transform a static image into smooth animation while maintaining the original aesthetic and style represents a real technological leap forward.
Remarkable speed of execution
La speed of execution is the second major asset. Each prompt generates 4 videos quickly, allowing for accelerated exploration of creative ideas. This speed opens up new possibilities for creative iteration and experimentation.
Two complementary approaches according to your needs
Midjourney Video offers a flexible approach with two distinct modes to adapt to different levels of expertise and creative requirements.
Auto Mode: Artificial intelligence in control
En Auto Mode, Midjourney automatically generates a “motion prompt” from your source image. The system produces 4 videos of 5 seconds each, with two variants available:
1. Low Motion :
- Subtle movements of the character or environment
- Stable camera
- Ideal for delicate and contemplative activities
2. High Motion :
- Camera in motion combined with character movements
- More dynamic and energetic effect
- Perfect for high-impact and fast-paced content
Manual mode: Full creative control
The Manual mode offers the possibility of writing or adjusting the “motion prompt” by hand to precisely guide the animation from your image. This approach allows for granular control over the final result.
As with Auto Mode, you keep the choice between Low Motion and High Motion depending on the style you want, while maintaining complete control of the artistic direction.
A decisive competitive advantage
If I had to identify a huge highlight compared to other video tools currently available on the market, it would clearly be the power and beauty of illustrated renderings.
Midjourney has succeeded in transposing its legendary aesthetic mastery in the field of image to animation, creating a tool that particularly excels in:
- Stylistic coherence between the source image and the animation
- The fluidity of transitions and movements
- Preserving artistic details during animation
- The cinematic quality of the final renderings
Midjourney sets the bar very high
With this new feature, Midjourney has just set the bar very high for AI-generated video creation. The tool is positioned as an essential reference for all creatives who want to produce professional quality animations.
This evolution probably marks a turning point in the video creation industry assisted by artificial intelligence, forcing other market players to rethink their approaches and quality standards.
Perspectives and impact on creation
The arrival of Midjourney Video could transform several aspects of creative production:
- Democratization of animation : Creators with no technical background could now produce sophisticated animations
- Accelerating creative processes : Prototyping and iteration phases are becoming faster and less expensive
- New aesthetic standards : Accessible quality could redefine the expectations of customers and audiences
Feedback: And you?
My initial test of Midjourney Video proved to be very successful, but I would like to compare this first impression with other feedback.
Have you had the opportunity to test this new feature? What were your impressions?
Do the creatives who are currently experimenting with this tool share this vision of a significant qualitative leap in AI video generation?
