These commands allow you to dictate the &#8220;energy&#8221; and &#8220;flow&#8221; of your clip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><code>--motion &lt;low\/high><\/code><\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>low<\/code>: Best for subtle movements, slow-motion portraits, or ambient backgrounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>high<\/code>: Ideal for dynamic action scenes, though it may occasionally introduce visual glitches or &#8220;hallucinations.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><code>--loop<\/code><\/strong>: This creates a seamless transition where the end of the video matches the beginning, perfect for Instagram Reels or TikTok backgrounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><code>--end &lt;URL><\/code><\/strong>: A powerful feature that lets you specify a &#8220;target frame.&#8221; Midjourney will animate the transition from your starting image to this ending image.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><code>--raw<\/code><\/strong>: Reduces Midjourney&#8217;s default aesthetic influence, giving your motion prompt (e.g., &#8220;fast camera zoom&#8221;) more control over the final result.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Extend Midjourney Videos to 21 Seconds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A standard Midjourney video is 5 seconds long, but you can extend your narrative through the <strong>Extension<\/strong> feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Select Your Video:<\/strong> Once a 5-second clip is generated, look for the <strong>Extend<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add Time:<\/strong> Each extension adds <strong>4 seconds<\/strong> to the clip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repeat:<\/strong> You can extend a single video up to <strong>4 times<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Final Length:<\/strong> This results in a maximum duration of <strong>21 seconds<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Extending a video costs the same amount of GPU time as the initial generation. If you use <strong>&#8220;Extend Manual,&#8221;<\/strong> you can even change the prompt for the next 4 seconds, allowing the scene to evolve\u2014for example, shifting from a &#8220;sunny day&#8221; to a &#8220;sudden storm.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about Midjourney Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can I generate HD videos on a Basic Plan?<\/strong> A: No. High Definition (720p) video generation is reserved for <strong>Standard, Pro, and <\/strong><strong>Mega<\/strong> plans and must be toggled in your &#8220;More Options&#8221; settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Why does my video look blurry?<\/strong> A: Midjourney videos default to 480p (SD). Ensure you have enabled HD in your settings. For 4K results, users often use external upscalers like <strong>Topaz Video AI<\/strong> after downloading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: What is the maximum resolution for Midjourney videos?<\/strong> A: Currently, HD dimensions are approximately <strong>1280 x 720 <\/strong><strong>px<\/strong> for a 16:9 aspect ratio. (Source: <em>Midjourney Image Size &amp; Resolution Docs<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Does Midjourney support sound?<\/strong> A: No, Midjourney generates visual-only MP4 files. You will need to add audio or music using a tool like <strong>Canva<\/strong> or <strong>CapCut<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Are there any alternatives instead of subscribing to Midjourney?<\/strong>A:Yes, you can check out our previous blog post:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glbgpt.com\/hub\/10-best-midjourney-alternatives-in-2026-expert-tested\/\"> 10 Best Midjourney Alternatives in 2026 (Expert Tested)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glbgpt.com\/home?inviter=hub_content_home&amp;login=1\">purchase Global GPT<\/a>, which bundles Midjourney and Nanobanana Pro at a very low price.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To create a video in Midjourney, simply select a genera [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":9308,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"%%post_title%%","_seopress_titles_desc":"Learn how to create a video in Midjourney with this step-by-step 2026 guide.
