Was ist Midjourney und wie funktioniert es?

Midjourney is a subscription image and video generation service. Users type a prompt into the Imagine bar on midjourney.com or in Discord, optionally attach reference images (image prompts, style references, Edit Model references), and receive a batch of images; any image can be animated into a 5-second video and extended to 21 seconds. Editing tools (inpainting, outpainting, pan, zoom, layers) live in the web Editor.
