Generating Videos
Head to midjourney.com to start creating videos! If you need help accessing our website, check out our Logging In & Connecting Accounts article. If you use Midjourney via Discord, please make sure you log in using the “Continue with Discord” option.Using Midjourney Images
All images in your gallery (regardless of what version they were made in) now have Animate Image buttons below the Creation Actions section when you open them. You’ll also see a shortcut button when you hover your mouse over them from the Create page.Using Your Own Images
To select an image to animate, start by clicking on the image iconUsing Midjourney Images
After your image is generated, use theU1``U2``U3``U4 buttons to separate your favorite image from the initial grid.
Animate (High motion) or Animate (Low motion) buttons to generate a video. If you have Remix Mode turned on, you can edit the prompt text before submitting the video prompt.
Note: In Midjourney versions 5 and later the U# buttons separate your image from the grid but do not change its size, so they do not consume GPU time. In earlier versions these buttons do increase your image size, and will consume GPU time.
Don’t see the Animate buttons? If you have upscales in Discord that were made before the release of video generations, you can use the show command to refresh the buttons.
Using Your Own Images
To generate a video using your own image, paste your image URL at the beginning of your prompt and then add the--video parameter to the end of your prompt. A text prompt is optional.
External Image Guidelines
- You must meet the age requirement in our Terms of Service.
- You must follow all applicable laws, our Community Guidelines, and other policies.
- We may remove content or restrict access at our discretion.
Your Responsibilities
- You are responsible for all content you input, create, and share.
- You must have the necessary rights to use the images you upload.
- Do not manipulate images of public or private individuals in ways that are abusive, disrespectful, offensive, derogatory, or inflammatory—this includes sexualized deepfakes.
- Anyone attempting to violate our Community Guidelines will face suspension or banning without refund. Use these tools with respect and consideration for others.
Batch Size
By default Midjourney will generate 4 videos from each video prompt. If you want to conserve GPU time, you can choose to generate only 1 or 2 videos from each prompt instead. Batch sizes work in both Fast and Relax Mode.
Add
--bs # to the end of your prompt in the Imagine bar. You can use 1, 2, or 4.
--bs # to the end of your prompt in Discord. You can use 1, 2, or 4.
Extend Video
Video generations start at 5 seconds, but it doesn’t have to stop there. After your video is created, you’ll see options to extend it further. This will add another 4 seconds to your video. Feel free to extend your video up to 4 times, until it reaches 21 seconds, which is the maximum length available. Extending a video costs the same amount of GPU time as an initial video generation. Look for the “Extend Auto” and “Extend Manual” buttons when you hover over your video on the Create page, and below the Creation Actions section when you open your video.- Extend Auto: This button extends your video automatically, using the original prompt.
- Extend Manual: Use the manual option if you’d like to change your prompt text before extending the video. This way, you can tweak or add new elements before submitting for the longer video.
U1``U2``U3``U4 buttons to separate your favorite video from the initial grid, and then look for the Extend (High motion) and Extend (Low motion) buttons. If you have Remix Mode turned on, you can edit the prompt text before submitting the extension prompt.
Looping & End Frames
After selecting an image to use as your starting frame, you also have the option to set an ending frame. You can reuse the starting frame to create a looping video, or add a different image as your ending frame. Once you add an image to the Starting Frame section of the Imagine bar, some additional video options will appear. If you want to re-use the starting frame as your end frame (this will create a looping video), use the “Loop” checkbox in the Ending Frame section. To use a different image as your ending frame, add it to the Ending Frame section.--loop to the end of your video prompt.
To use a different image as your ending frame, add the --end parameter to your video prompt and paste your image URL.
Video Motion
When generating videos, you have two motion settings options to choose from, “Low Motion” and “High Motion.” Use the corresponding buttons, or add the--motion low or --motion high parameters to the end of your video prompt.
- Low Motion (default): is more likely to result in still scenes, low camera motion, slow motion, or subtle character movements.
- High Motion: is more likely to result in big camera motions and larger character movements, however it may also create unrealistic or glitchy movements.
Video Raw
For more precise motion control of your video creations, using the--raw parameter in your video prompts can be helpful. This feature works similarly to Raw Mode for images.
When you add --raw, it reduces the extra creative flair that Midjourney usually adds, allowing your prompt text to have more influence on the outcome.
Video Resolution
Midjourney videos are generated in 480p quality, also called Standard Definition (SD). If you have the Standard, Pro, or Mega plan you can also generate videos in 720p quality, or High Definition (HD), by adjusting your Video Resolution under More Options in the settings
*Midjourney may need to adjust the aspect ratio slightly in some cases. This means that your video’s aspect ratio may be a little different than your starting image.
Video Playback on Web
Once your videos have finished generating on the Create page, hover your mouse over them to play them. You can also manually scrub (play the videos at your own speed) by holding the Control or Command key on your keyboard and moving your mouse back and forth over them.Downloading Videos
When you right-click on a video from your Create or Organize page, you’ll see three download options:- Download for Social: Use this option if you plan to share your videos on social media. This method uses a new optimized encoder that reduces the compression when shared on social websites, so your videos will look crisp and clear (file format is .mp4).
- Download Raw Video: Use this option to download the original video file generated by Midjourney (file format is .mp4).
- Download Gif: Download your video as an animated Gif (file format is .gif).
