What? The image moves?! Popular AI "Midjourney" announces video generation function!
Hello! I'm John, a blog writer who explains AI technology in an easy-to-understand way.
Have you seen a lot of "AI-drawn pictures" recently? AI is now able to produce breathtakingly beautiful images that look like they were made by professional illustrators or photographers. One of the most famous examples is the image generation AI called "Midjourney."
Now, Midjourney has finally taken a new step.A function to create a short video from a still image (a single picture)In this article, we will explain this amazing new feature in a simple way so that even those who are not familiar with AI will understand.
First of all, what is "Midjourney"?
Before we get into the main topic, let's first do a quick review of Midjourney.
Midjourney in a nutshell"An AI that can draw amazing pictures just by asking it verbally."For example, if you enter keywords (called "prompts" in technical terms) such as "a whale swimming in space" or "cyberpunk Tokyo night view," the AI will instantly generate several original images that match that image.
This AI is unique in that it can be used on a chat app called "Discord." It's a unique service that allows you to create works by interacting with the AI as if you were having a conversation in a community where many people gather.
Finally here! New feature to create videos from images
Now, here comes the main topic. What Midjourney announced this time was,"Image-to-Video"This is a new feature that literally means you can now animate your favorite photo that you created in Midjourney with the power of AI.
Here is a summary of the key features of this new feature.
- Your Midjourney images in motion: It generates short videos based on Midjourney images that you have created yourself or that have been created by others in the past.
- Easy to use: Simply use the new command "/video" and enter the information about the image you want to use as the basis.
- Short, silent videos: What's generated is a few seconds of silent video clip - not a full-length movie, but it gives you the experience of seeing the images come to life.
- Still in testing: This feature is still in the "alpha" stage, so to speak, and is expected to continue to evolve.
It's huge news that Midjourney, which has previously specialized in still images, is now stepping into the world of video.
How to use it? Easy to use guide
If you think, "It seems interesting, but difficult..." don't worry. It's surprisingly simple to use.
- First, find any Midjourney images you've previously generated on Discord.
- React to the image with the "envelope" emoji (✉️).
- Then, a Midjourney bot (auto-response program) will send you a direct message with details about the image, including the job ID. The job ID is like a serial number for that image.
- In the chat box /video Enter the command, paste the job ID you received, and send it.
- Now all you have to do is wait for the AI to generate the video! Once it's complete, the video file will be sent to you.
It's exciting to think that just by doing this, your favorite photo can come to life!
What's so great about this new feature?
AI-based video generation is a cutting-edge field in which companies around the world are competing. Other video generation AIs such as OpenAI's "Sora" and "Pika" are also attracting a lot of attention.
Among them, what makes Midjourney's new feature unique is thatYou can start with a single image that you have carefully created.When you create a video from text, the first scene often doesn't turn out as you expected, but with this method, you can add movement while maintaining the complete worldview.
This opens up huge possibilities for creators.
- Consistent animation: You can move characters and backgrounds exactly how you intended.
- Expand your range of expression: By adding a little movement to a still image, such as in a social media post or presentation document, you can really draw the viewer's attention.
- A step towards the future: Although this is a short video, this is an important step towards Midjourney having full-fledged "Text-to-Video" functionality in the future.

I tried this function right away, and the moment my favorite image that I had spent so much time creating started to move smoothly was even more moving than I had imagined. The movements are still simple, but it felt like I was watching magic. I can't wait to see how this technology will evolve and what kind of works will be created.
