Video V1

Midjourney · 18 June 2025

Midjourney's first video model animates a Midjourney or uploaded image into 5-second clips, framed as a step toward real-time open-world simulation.

Image-to-video only, extendable in 4-second steps; David Holz says the long-term goal is real-time, interactive world models, with images, video and 3D as stepping stones. Arrived days after Disney/Universal sued Midjourney.

Date from the Midjourney post metadata. 5-second and 4-second extension figures, and the lawsuit timing, are from memory plus the post's framing; the post itself was only partly read.
