Here\u2019s what <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/how-to-use-ai\/\">small business owners<\/a> need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It offers an image-to-video workflow: <\/strong>Start with any Midjourney image (or an uploaded photo) and click &#8220;Animate.&#8221; The model generates four five-second videos. That means there&#8217;s no need to learn text-to-video prompting from scratch. You simply build on images you already like.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>There are two motion styles: \u201c<\/strong>Auto\u201d writes a motion prompt for you. \u201cManual\u201d lets you describe the movement. You can also choose \u201chigh\u201d or \u201clow\u201d motion. Auto is great for first timers. Manual gives you more control when you want just a gentle product spin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s web-only (for now): <\/strong>Video generation lives in the Midjourney web app \u2014&nbsp;Discord commands don&#8217;t work yet. This keeps your workflow in one browser tab, which can be handy if Discord feels cluttered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Videos generate at 480p resolution out of the gate: <\/strong>Clips export at 854 \u00d7 480px, extendable to 21 seconds in four-second increments. This is perfect for social feeds and email banners, but you&#8217;ll want an upscaler for 1080p hero videos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Videos are more expensive than images:<\/strong> Each video job costs roughly 8x what an image costs to generate. On the $10 Basic plan (which gets you 200 Fast minutes), that equals ~25 short clips per month. Pro and Mega plans unlock unlimited Relax mode, which works slower but doesn&#8217;t use up your GPU pricing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Midjourney Video Expectations vs. Reality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When they <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/updates.midjourney.com\/introducing-our-v1-video-model\/\">announced V1 Video<\/a>, Midjourney said the model was 25 times more affordable than any comparable tool on the market. That\u2019s <em>technically<\/em> true \u2014but there are trade-offs every small business owner should weigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Video quality: <\/strong>The marketing screenshots look slick, but Midjourney outputs are in 480p by default. That&#8217;s a-okay for social media, but if you plan to use them for full-width website banners, you\u2019ll need an upscaler.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time to generate: <\/strong>In \u201cFast\u201d mode, it takes about three minutes to generate a five-second clip. Extending it to 20 seconds adds at least two more minutes on average. Yes, that&#8217;s fast,&nbsp;but it still isn&#8217;t instant. Plus, keep in mind that \u201cFast\u201d mode is the most expensive to use. If you don&#8217;t want to burn through your credits, videos take longer to generate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>GPU burn rate: <\/strong>Eight GPU minutes per video job means Basic users hit the wall fast. If you\u2019re planning to use Midjourney to create a daily social media reel, the Basic plan likely won&#8217;t be enough for you, and you&#8217;ll need to upgrade to a more expensive tier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Early stage quirks:<\/strong> Expect the occasional jittery camera move or odd morph. Manual motion prompts help, but there\u2019s still a learning curve, and having to re-prompt to correct odd outputs eats up your GPU even faster.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We used Midjourney V1 Video to create this 5-second clip.* It\u2019s crisp enough for Instagram or email headers, but we\u2019d recommend upscaling it for full-width site banners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*And as a <em>slight<\/em> drawback, the \u201cfoam\u201d starts out the same color as coffee. So, something like this takes some finessing in the prompts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-75308-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/02-Video-Quality-Issues-With_Midjourney.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/02-Video-Quality-Issues-With_Midjourney.mp4\">https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/02-Video-Quality-Issues-With_Midjourney.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Midjourney Examples for Small Businesses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for some inspiration?

If it takes longer, it could increase <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/reduce-bounce-rates\/\">your bounce rate<\/a>. In that case, lower the bitrate or shorten the clip, re-export, and try again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve mastered the basics, you can take things further with the manual Animate option, which lets you control the camera movement and subject motion yourself.

Industry surveys indicate that a live-action product demo costs between <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthesia.io\/learn\/video-production\/cost\">$1,000 &#8211; $3,000 per finished <em>minute<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em> However, with Midjourney, you can purchase the $ 60-per-month Pro plan and receive unlimited Relax video minutes. As long as you have the time to wait for the videos to generate, the savings can be immense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The bottom line: <\/strong>If you only need a handful of short clips each month and are okay with 480p<em> <\/em>outputs or paying for an upscaler if needed, Midjourney\u2019s V1 Video model pays for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h2_from-static-to-cinematic\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Static to Cinematic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Five-second clips won\u2019t replace a full production crew, but Midjourney\u2019s V1 Video model does something most AI toys only promise: make useful motion content extremely accessible. If you can upload a photo, you can create a very decent product video \u2014a spinning mug, a burst of confetti, or a model showing off perfectly fitting apparel \u2014all in less time than it takes for DoorDash to arrive with lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, your competitors are already experimenting with AI tools. At just $10 a month for a Basic plan, the question is, can you afford not to? If you\u2019re ready to give your site its own sizzle reel, fire up Midjourney, run through the roadmap you just learned, and drop the finished MP4s into your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while you&#8217;re at it, check out <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/ai-content-creation\/\">other AI tools<\/a> that can help you level up your small business, like our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/features\/ai-website-builder\/\">Liftoff AI Website Builder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"article-newsletter article-newsletter--gradient\">\n\n\n<h2>Get Content Delivered Straight to Your Inbox<\/h2><p>Subscribe now to receive all the latest updates, delivered directly to your inbox.<\/p><form class=\"nwsl-form\" id=\"newsletter_block_\" novalidate><div class=\"messages\"><\/div><div class=\"form-group\"><label for=\"input_newsletter_block_\"><input type=\"email\"name=\"email\"id=\"input_newsletter_block_\"placeholder=\"Enter your email address\"novalidatedisabled=\"disabled\"\/><\/label><button type=\"submit\"class=\"btn btn--brand\"disabled=\"disabled\"><span>Sign Me Up!<\/span><svg width=\"21\" height=\"14\" viewBox=\"0 0 21 14\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M13.8523 0.42524L12.9323 1.34521C12.7095 1.56801 12.7132 1.9304 12.9404 2.14865L16.7241 5.7823H0.5625C0.251859 5.7823 0 6.03416 0 6.3448V7.6573C0 7.96794 0.251859 8.2198 0.5625 8.2198H16.7241L12.9405 11.8535C12.7132 12.0717 12.7095 12.4341 12.9323 12.6569L13.8523 13.5769C14.072 13.7965 14.4281 13.7965 14.6478 13.5769L20.8259 7.39879C21.0456 7.17913 21.0456 6.82298 20.8259 6.60327L14.6477 0.42524C14.4281 0.205584 14.0719 0.205584 13.8523 0.42524Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/button><\/div><\/form><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curious about Midjourney\u2019s AI video tool?
