Today, Midjourney announced the launch of a new HD video mode for its Pro and Mega subscription plans. This new feature aims to provide professionals who require the highest quality visual output with better creative tools, further strengthening Midjourney's competitiveness in the AI video generation field.
According to the official statement, the cost of generating videos in HD* mode is approximately 3.2 times that of the default standard definition (SD) video output, but the pixel resolution is about four times higher. This upgrade significantly enhances video clarity and detail, meeting the high standards required by professional users in scenarios such as advertising, film production, and creative content creation. Midjourney stated that this mode is designed for professionals who pursue the ultimate visual experience, aiming to provide unparalleled high-quality shots.
As part of Midjourney's video generation features, the HD video mode continues its一贯 simple user experience. Users can convert generated static images or uploaded external images into high-quality video content through their existing workflow. This mode is currently only available for Pro and Mega subscription plans, which also include unlimited "Relax" mode video generation, offering users more flexible creative options.
This move marks another important advancement for Midjourney in the AI video generation field. Since the launch of the V1 video model in June this year, Midjourney has continuously optimized its technology, striving to establish itself in the competition against competitors such as OpenAI's Sora and Runway's Gen-4. However, at the same time, Midjourney also faces copyright lawsuits from entertainment giants like Disney and Universal Studios, adding uncertainty to its future development.
Industry insiders believe that the launch of the HD video mode not only demonstrates Midjourney's ambition in technological innovation but also highlights its increasing focus on the professional creative market. With the rapid development of AI video generation technology, this new feature from Midjourney is undoubtedly attracting more professional users, gaining more attention for it in the competitive market.
