Midjourney V7 Adds Real-Time Video Editing

Midjourney, the leader in stylistic AI image generation, has officially entered the video market with Version 7. The standout feature? "Live Paint," which allows users to restyle video feeds in real-time.

Beyond Static Images

Unlike Sora or Gen-3 which generate video from scratch, Midjourney V7 focuses on high-fidelity style transfer. Users can upload a simple phone video and use prompts like "1920s charcoal sketch" or "Cyberpunk anime" to transform the footage instantly while maintaining perfect temporal consistency.

Feature Highlights

• Live Paint: 24fps real-time style transfer on standard GPUs.
• Character Consistency: New "Actor ID" tag keeps faces consistent across generated frames.
• Audio Reactivity: Visuals can now pulse and shift in sync with an uploaded audio track.

Creative Implications

Indie filmmakers are already showcasing incredible results. "I shot a sci-fi short film in my living room with a cardboard box," shared one beta tester. "Midjourney turned the box into a spaceship cockpit and me into an alien commander. The lighting was perfect."

V7 is available now for "Pro" tier subscribers, with a wider rollout expected later in January.
