Midjourney Video Automation

If you're looking to automate images instead of videos, check out the Midjourney Image Automation actor.

🎥 What does Midjourney Video Automation do?

Midjourney Video Automation empowers you to automate video generation on Midjourney using both text prompts and existing images—no manual intervention required. With this actor, you can:

• 🤖 Bulk process multiple prompts or image inputs to create videos
• 🎞️ Text-to-Video: generate a sequence of images from prompts and stitch them into a short video
• 📸 Image-to-Video: convert your own images (via URLs or a Google Drive folder) into videos, optionally enhanced with prompts
• ⚡ Extensions: add extra seconds to each video (4 s per extension)
• 🔄 Concurrency: run multiple jobs in parallel
• ⏳ Randomized wait times between operations to mimic human usage
• 📁 Album HTML: auto-generate an album.html in Key-Value storage for easy browsing and downloading

🔑 Prerequisites

1. An active Midjourney subscription (Standard Plan or higher to use Relaxed mode)
2. Your Midjourney cookie for authentication
3. The Cookie-Editor Chrome extension

🚀 Setup Guide

1. Getting Your Midjourney Cookie

1. Install the Cookie-Editor Chrome extension.
2. Log in to www.midjourney.com.
3. Click the Cookie-Editor icon and grant permissions if prompted.
4. Choose Export → Export as Header String.
5. Copy the resulting cookie string.

2. Running the Actor

1. In the actor's input form, paste your cookie into the cookie field.

2. Provide either:

   • A list of text prompts (prompts) for text-to-video, or
   • A list of image URLs (images) and/or a Google Drive folder URL (googleDriveFolder) for image-to-video.

3. Choose your mode (relaxed, fast, or turbo).

4. (Optional) Set the number of extensions to lengthen each video by 4 s each.

5. Configure concurrency, minWait, maxWait, and jobTimeout as needed.

6. Select your proxy configuration (Apify Proxy recommended).

7. Click Run.

    "job_id": "<jobId>",
    "extensions": 1,
    "image_url": "https://drive.google.com/uc?id=<fileId>"
  }
]

Field	Description
album_url	Link to the generated album.html for browsing/downloading all videos.
prompt	The text prompt used.
url	Direct link to the generated video file (.mp4).
preview_url	Thumbnail link for the video (.gif)
job_id	Unique identifier for the generation job.
extensions	Number of 4-second extensions applied.

🎞️ Accessing Generated Videos

The actor saves an "album.html" file to the KeyValue store for easy browsing and downloading of generated videos. You can access it by:

• Clicking any "Album URL" field in the results table
• Going to Run > Storage > KeyValueStore and finding the "album.html" file

The album interface provides several features:

• Filter videos by prompt text or other metadata
• Select multiple videos for batch operations
• Open videos in new tabs for detailed viewing
• Download selected videos as a ZIP file

⚠️ Usage Guidelines & Best Practices

Account Safety

• Midjourney may flag excessive automation; use responsibly.
• Only automate tasks you would normally perform manually.
• Avoid continuous 24/7 runs.

Performance Optimization

• Start with low concurrency (1–2) and increase based on success rates.
• Use proxies from your region for more reliable access.
• Tune minWait/maxWait to balance speed and rate-limit safety.
• Update your cookie periodically for long sessions.

General Tips

• Test with a small batch of prompts or images first.
• Use clear, descriptive prompts for better video content.
• Monitor and review failed jobs; they won't halt your run.

💳 Pricing & Credits

Apify's Free plan includes $5 in monthly credits—ideal for testing. For regular usage, we recommend the $49/month Personal plan, which provides ample credits for ongoing Midjourney Video Automation.
