AI art platform Midjourney has begun public testing of its first text-to-video generation model, inviting creators to evaluate early clips during an online “video rating party” held on 11 June 2025. The event marks the company’s first formal move beyond still imagery into video content. Participants shared short previews that many described as “stunning” for preserving Midjourney’s distinctive aesthetic, though some reviewers said quality varied across samples. The model shown is not final, and further community feedback sessions are planned as the company refines output consistency. Midjourney has not disclosed a commercial release date or pricing for the video product. The initiative places the startup in direct competition with larger AI developers racing to bring consumer-ready text-to-video tools to market.
