Midjourney Video
Animate a finished illustration or photo with restrained or more active motion.
Updated
When to choose it
Midjourney Video starts with your image rather than a blank screen. Turn an approved poster, illustration or product frame into a small moving scene. The prompt describes what happens next; the source already establishes the look. Start with Motion Low for a subtle animation.
- Approve the still image before working on its movement.
- Motion and Loop settings help create living illustrations and repeating backgrounds.
Modes and settings
- A starting image is required; an ending image is optional.
- Base clips last 5 seconds at 480p or 720p. Controls include Motion Low/High, Raw and Loop.

Coins are Mixer AI balance units. The table shows a base request without extra variations. Multiple results and new attempts can increase the total; check it before submitting.
In US dollars: from ≈ $0.692 per generation. 1 coin ≈ $0.011.
What you can make
- An animated illustration for a cover or social post.
- A calm looping background scene.
How to direct the result
- Describe movement instead of listing everything already visible in the image.
- For loops, choose an action that returns naturally: swaying, breathing or a light breeze.
Example: a living illustration
Subtle movement in the supplied illustration: a curtain sways beside an open window, leaf shadows drift across a desk, and the character breathes calmly. Locked camera, unchanged linework and palette. The movement returns to its starting state for a gentle loop.
What to keep in mind
- There is no text-only generation on this page.
- Active motion can change faces, geometry and composition more. Sound is not generated.

Guides and comparisons using this model
FAQ
Can I use an image made elsewhere?
You can upload your own prepared photo or illustration as the starting frame.
Should I choose Low or High?
Low suits small changes. Try High for more active motion when greater variation is acceptable.
Can it draw the opening image itself?
No. Prepare the image in a separate generation and upload it here.
Does it produce a soundtrack?
This model does not generate sound. Add music, speech and ambience separately.
Does Loop guarantee an invisible seam?
No. Choose cyclical movement and check the join during repeated playback.
Can I anchor the ending?
Add an ending frame compatible with the source and the intended movement.
What changes the price?
It depends on version, quality and mode. The table prices one generation at the listed settings. Additional results, new attempts and chargeable input materials can increase the total.
Do I need a separate model subscription?
No. In Mixer AI, you top up one coin balance and use it for the tasks you need. You do not need a separate subscription to this model.
