Midjourney-Style Video Generation

What this Workflow Does

This workflow takes a simple text description (a basic image prompt) and turns it into a high-quality AI-generated video clip. It does so by:

1. Improving the prompt to match "Midjourney"-style aesthetics.
2. Generating a beautiful image.
3. Animating that image into a short video.
4. Upscaling the video to full HD quality.

In short:
Text ➔ Beautiful Midjourney-style Prompt ➔ Image ➔ Short Animated Video ➔ Full HD Video

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Text Input

• Block: Text
  • You start with a simple input like:
    "Photograph of an astronaut meditating and levitating in the air in the middle of a field of yellow flowers..."
  • This is a basic user-written prompt, not yet optimized for fancy AI generation.

---

2. Prompt Enhancement (GPT-4o)

• Block: GPT-4o
  • The prompt is sent to GPT-4o with a system instruction saying:

    "You are an expert in generating Midjourney themed images. Please convert the prompt to a Midjourney-like style."

  • GPT-4o rewrites the simple description into a detailed, aesthetic prompt closer to what high-end models like Midjourney would understand.
  • For example, it might add:
    • Specific details (lighting, atmosphere, artistic style, camera settings).
    • Stylistic flourishes (cinematic feel, ultra-detailed textures).

3. Image Generation (Flux-1.1 Pro Ultra)

• Block: Flux-1.1 Pro Ultra
  • The enhanced prompt is fed into Flux-1.1 Pro Ultra, a very high-quality image generation model.
  • Output: A realistic or artistic image of the astronaut meditating in the flower field.

4. Video Generation (Google Veo 2)

• Block: Google Veo 2
  • The prompt and the image are passed into Google Veo 2, a video generation model.
  • It generates a 5-second video clip based on the image:
    • Duration: 5 seconds
    • Aspect ratio: 16:9 (perfect for widescreen)
    • It uses a random seed for slight variations.
  • The video shows a short, likely "moving" scene based on the astronaut image (like flowers waving, slight camera motion, etc.).

---

5. Video Upscaling (ESRGAN Video Upscaler)

• Block: ESRGAN Video Upscaler
  • The generated video (which might be lower-res) is passed through a video upscaler:
    • Model used: RealESRGAN_x4plus
    • Resolution: FHD (Full HD 1920x1080)
  • This step sharpens and enhances the video to high quality, removing any noise or blurriness.

---

6. Final Output

• The upscaled, Full HD 5-second video is the final result ready for download or further use (like posting on social media, adding to a portfolio, or making a part of a bigger project).

Why This is Useful

• Takes a basic idea and automates the process of creating a professional-level animated visual.
• Saves hours of manual work: no need to manually prompt Midjourney, Photoshop images, or animate separately.
• Great for:
  • Marketing content
  • Concept art
  • Storyboards
  • Short animations for reels, posts, or videos

Ways to improve and customize

More Control over Animation Styles

Current Situation: Google Veo is making a video from a single image + prompt. You rely on Veo’s internal animation logic (it decides camera moves, object motion, etc.).

How to Improve: Add a "Motion Prompt" separately: (e.g., “gentle slow zoom-in on astronaut, flowers swaying slightly, soft wind movement”)

Pass this as an extra control input if Veo (or future video models) supports fine-grained motion prompts.

Result: You can generate different types of animations: slow zoom, parallax effect, timelapse, pan, etc.
