Midjourney, whose name has become synonymous with high-quality and artistic AI image generation, officially entered the video creation race on June 19, 2025. The lab announced the launch of its first text-to-video generation model, simply named V1. This move, eagerly awaited by the entire creative and tech community, was immediately confirmed by leading global publications, including TechCrunch, the New York Post, and Reuters. The launch of Midjourney V1 marks the emergence of a powerful new player in an arena where giants like OpenAI with its cinematic Sora model and Google with its advanced Veo model are already competing fiercely. The main intrigue lies in whether Midjourney can transfer its unique, often surreal and artistically refined aesthetic from static images to dynamic video while maintaining the highest level of detail and understanding of complex prompts. The initial version of V1 is reportedly already available for testing by subscribers through the familiar Discord interface. The model appears to be focused at this stage on creating short video clips and allows users to apply various styles, similar to how their famous image generation tool works. Expectations for Midjourney V1 are extremely high, as the company has previously set a very high quality bar in its niche. This release will undoubtedly spur competition and accelerate the development of video generation technologies, opening up incredible new possibilities for artists, filmmakers, marketers, and content creators worldwide.
