Midjourneythe renowned image generation startup by artificial intelligence, has taken an important step by announcing the launch of its first video generation model with AI: V1.

The new model allows any user to create short videos using images generated on the platform of Midjourney or loaded directly by the user.

The functionality is simple: once the image is generated, the system displays a button “encourage“That automatically generates a 5 -second clip based on a generic prompt, or allows the user to specify by text how to cheer up the scene, details The Verge. This option is accompanied by controls to adjust the movement – both of the subject as of the chamber.

The videos generated with V1 last only five seconds, but users can choose to extend them four seconds up to four times, which means that V1 videos may last up to 21 seconds.

The tool is available through a subscription, with prices that start from USD $ 10 per month and include approximately 3.3 hours of rapid use of GPU – sufficient for about 200 generations of images.

At the moment, V1 is enabled only via web and through the well -known server of Discord of the startup, replicating the distribution model that popularized the image generators of the platform.

Midjourney: from digital art to animation with AI

The launch of V1 places Midjourney in direct competition with companies such as Google, Openaiand Goalwhich have also released AI video generators, all of which can generate videos with text instructions.

Although Midjourney He will continue to distinguish himself from the other generation proposals for maintaining his adaptable approach for artists and creatives, creatives and artists rather than to the immediate advertising market.

According to Techcrunchthe company has an objective that goes beyond the generation of videos for Hollywood or commercial films for the advertising industry. Instead, it seeks that their models of AI evolve to create open world simulations, and see the video automatically generated as a step more towards that ambitious objective.

The founder of MidjourneyDavid Holz, thus hinted in a blog post, saying that this first version is only “A springboard” While the startup works to create “models capable of open world simulations in real time ”.

After AI video models, the company plans to develop AI models to produce 3D representations, according to coverage.

More expensive than creating an image

However, creating videos will be more expensive than generating images: every second generated consumes on average the resources equivalent to creating an image, which means that a video task that will cost about eight times more than a conventional image.

For those who seek greater capacity, there are Pro plans (USD $ 60 per month) and Mega (USD $ 120 per month), which offer unlimited yields in a slower way, allowing users to create without significant restrictions in the number of videos generated.

The company has already announced that it will review its price policy during the next month, anticipating possible changes as it evaluates the demand and response of its community.

The launch of the video function is produced immediately after a demand filed by Disney and Universal against Midjourneyas the news media recalled. Both studies argue that the platform is possibly violating copyright by using protected material for the training of their models.

The demand especially cites the advance towards video generators as a reason for concern, pointing out the ease with which users can recreate famous scenes or characters without a license.

The first videos published by V1 users show results out of this world, instead of hyperrealist images as some expected. While the AI ​​industry advances by leaps and bounds, the reaction of the public will be crucial on the way to the future of art, creativity and digital entertainment in the era of artificial intelligence.
