Well, Midjourney has finally released their video generator, they are calling it image to video. I can have it:
- automatically generate an image from one of my images
- manually generate a video from one of my images that I’ve added prompting to
- upload an image as the first frame and then generate a video either manually or automatically.
I tried it out this morning and had to stop before I went down a rabbit hole and burned up all the time I have left for this month.
Each generation gives me four versions and they have a setting to save the video for social media or just a save. I can also extend the six second clip but I’ve not played with that yet.
My header image is my grand-nephew Apollo with a friend at his graduation this week. His grandmother, @artemisnorth gave me permission to use the pic after I used it to generate this clip:
Remember the image from yesterday that I reconstructed? Thought I’d play with it next and have the two figures kiss and look at the camera. Well, one did. Nice flip of the hair effect.
This is an image I generated this morning for today’s Daily Echo. It was in a tie for the top image.
Last but not least, this is the image that will appear as today’s Daily Echo.
I’m liking the results with just a quick, let’s give it a try effort. Will be interesting to play around with it some more and see what else I can do with it.
