Exercise: How you can make a 20 second video clip in midjourney! (EASY)

Midjourney’s first generation video model is doing some incredible things! It's easy to use and surprisingly does a great job with dynamic motion, similar quality as kling 1.6. It also has a built-in video extension feature.

Here's what that does:

- Allows you to extend a video by 5s

- You can choose high or low motion

- You can choose auto or manually write a prompt

- You can extend 4 times for a full 20s clip

The process is super easy:

01. Create initial image + auto animate with high motion

02. Use “Auto/Manual” extend to add 5 seconds to your video

03. Repeat

My Original Image Prompt:

Cat: Wide shot hyperrealistic style of an athletic tabby cat wearing a red tracksuit, leaping over a hurdle on a vibrant Olympic stadium track, with a cheering crowd in the background under bright daylight

Koala: front shot of a koala with sunglasses riding on a red motorcycle on an empty highway with a helmet on, bright blue sunny sky.

Exact Animation Steps:

Initial Video: Auto prompt (motion high)

Extension 1: Auto prompt (motion high)

Extension 2: Auto prompt (motion high)

Extension 3: Manual prompt (motion high) Extension 4: Auto prompt (motion high)

Manual Prompts I used:

“cat does a dramatic landing and rolls forward, sliding to a stop. The cat does a cool pose at the camera, laying on the ground making a finger gun with its paw”
“koala does a wheelie on the motorcycle, camera cinematic tracking shot”

I love how seamless the transitions are with these scene extensions! I feel like the clips keep momentum and style consistency really well and using auto prompt (motion high) makes the entire process extremely easy to do. Give this a try and share your results in the comments. Even as a complete beginner it will take you less than 15 minutes to create an image, animate it, and extend it at least once.
