Midjourney V7: lock this still before you buy motion (10cr)
Midjourney V7 is the stills row. Animate after approval. Do not generate the pack inside the video model.
Midjourney V7 is the stills row. Animate after approval. Do not generate the pack inside the video model.
Midjourney V7 is Midjourney's text-to-image row: no still required, 10 credits, photorealistic and artistic outputs. Features listed: text_to_image, photorealistic, artistic, high_quality. There is no duration. There is no audio. There is no max-output-resolution field on this record. The text-to-image tool is the door. A video generate is not "Midjourney with a dolly."
Photoreal and artistic are still stills
V7 will give you a plate that looks like a photograph or a plate that looks like a painting. Either way it is one frame. Aspect options listed: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 2:3, 3:2, 21:9, 9:21. Pick the shape you will actually ship. Cropping a 10-credit still to force a story crop is how the photoreal finish you paid for gets shaved off.
The record lists a max of five references. Those slots are for identity and style hold on a still, not a storyboard you will later pretend was video. Empty slots plus a cinematic prompt still produce a still.
10 credits to lock the frame
Ten credits is the catalog price. That is not a reason to skip the lock and "just animate the idea." It is a reason to approve this still before you buy motion on top of it. Retry the 10-credit frame until you would print it. Then hand it to image-to-video.
No image is required to start. This is from-text. If the job is "change this approved V7 plate," use an edit row. Re-rolling V7 "the same, but the label is fixed" is how you get a cousin, not a lock.
The pack is stills, not clips
A campaign of V7 frames is a pack: same prompt family, same ratios, winners kept. A campaign of video takes "in a Midjourney look" is a different model, a different bill, and no V7 in the filename. Do not ask a video row to search for the V7 hero angle. Search here.
Image prompting covers how to specify the frame. This page is only the order: V7, 10 credits, photoreal or artistic still, then motion. Featured and premium on the record do not change the content type. It is still an image.
Animate after the print test
Would you ship this as a key visual? If not, do not animate it. Midjourney V7 will not hold a pack together inside a clip because it does not make clips. Lock the still. Then buy motion.
FAQ
Is Midjourney V7 a video model?
No. Content type is image. Category is text-to-image. There are no supported durations. Animate after approval.
What resolution does V7 list?
The record does not list a max output resolution or a quality ladder. Do not invent 4K. Treat the output as a still; upscale on an upscale row if delivery needs it.
Do I need a reference image?
No. The row does not require an image. It accepts up to five references when you have them. A from-text still is the default.
Why is this 10 credits if it is "just a still"?
Ten credits is the catalog price for this generate. The cost is why you lock it before you spend a video row on a plate you have not approved.
