📝 Executive Summary
Midjourney Video is not a camera for recording photorealistic reality. It is a top-tier magical brush
for creating "moving paintings."
If you seek physical law accuracy or lip-sync, you should choose other tools. However, if you want
to breathe "life" into Midjourney's characteristic heavy oil-painting styles, psychedelic
abstractions, or breathtaking fantastical landscapes, this model exhibits overwhelming aesthetic
sense that leaves others behind. The moment a static shot is elevated into a dramatic story from
image to video is truly a digital miracle.
💰 Pricing Details
- Basic Plan ($10/mo): Good for testing a few, but since video generation is GPU-intensive, this "introductory" level is nowhere near enough for serious production.
- Standard Plan ($30/mo): 15 hours of Fast GPU monthly. Relaxed mode (unlimited) is applicable even to video, making it the practical "standard plan" allowing for trial and error.
- Pro / Mega Plan ($60/mo+): Provides massive Fast time and Stealth mode. An environment for professionals focusing on video production and top-tier creators.
🎯 Key Benchmark Results
| Metric | Evaluation | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Aesthetic Quality | Highest | Unparalleled artistic sense and texture |
| Style Consistency | Excellent | Perfect inheritance from static image to video |
| GPU Efficiency | Poor | Extremely high resource consumption |
✅ Pros and Cons
👍 Pros
- The overwhelming sense of "composition," "color," and "lighting" cultivated in image generation is condensed into every single frame of the video.
- Intuitive motion production via a sophisticated Web UI, freed from the traditional Discord "spells" and utilizing slider controls.
- Asset value through the ability to instantly transform your thousands of favorite previously generated images into high-quality animations.
👎 Cons
- "Diabolical" resource consumption; Fast time usage jumps several to over ten times compared to image generation, posing a cost problem.
- Disregard for physical laws and anatomical collapses (extra legs, melting arms, etc.) are more likely to occur when specifying dynamic movements.
- Low controllability for "moving exactly as specified;" while beautiful, it often results in "betraying expectations (unexpected)" movements.
💭 Reddit User Sentiment
Positive Comments
"The moment the fantasy world I drew really started moving, my emotions were stirred. This is not just a tool; it's a window."
"For VJ materials or Web design backgrounds, no AI on earth can produce more beautiful footage than MJ."
Negative Comments
"I signed up for the $30 plan, but Fast time hit rock bottom after just a FEW video tests. This is a luxury item for the bourgeois."
"When trying to make humans walk, it still results in uncanny prowling scenes like in a dream. Complex behavior is still too much."
🎯 Recommended Use Cases
- Video Production for Art Installations - Environments where "beauty and atmosphere" are prioritized over meaning or logic.
- Impressive Background Videos for Websites - Productions that convey a brand's worldview, leveraging seamless loops.
- Materials for Music Videos (MV) - Psychedelic effects or abstract image generation matching a song's emotion.
📊 Conclusion & Overall Rating
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐☆ (3.8/5.0)
Midjourney Video is an expensive tool, but it's a special existence that provides worth-it
"inspiration."
While not a tool for efficiently creating accurate video materials, it is brilliant at
visualizing "beautiful accidents" that exceed a creator's imagination.
If you seek "expression" over "realism" and "emotion" over "rationality," Midjourney Video will
be your most beautiful and whimsical partner in your creative activities.
