Midjourney adds AI video generation
AI company Midjourney has released its first video model. This initial take on AI-generated video will allow users to animate their images, either ones made in Midjourney or uploaded from a different source. The initial results will be five-second clips that a user can opt to extend by four seconds up to four times. Videos can be generated on web only for now and require at least a $10 a month subscription to access. Introducing our V1 Video Model. It's fun, easy, and beautiful. Available at 10$/month, it's the first video model for *everyone* and it's available now. — Midjourney (@midjourney) June 18, 2025 Midjourney was one of the early names in the space for AI-generated still images, even as other platforms have pushed the forefront of the discussions around artificial intelligence development. Google's latest I/O conference included several new tools for AI generated video, such as the text-to-video Veo 3 model and a tool for filmmakers called Flow . OpenAI's Sora, which debuted last year, is also a text-to-video option, while the more recent Firefly Video Model from Adobe can create video from a text or image prompt. But being a little late to the video game hasn't stopped it from drawing the ire of creatives who allege that its models were trained illegally. In fact, this video announcement follows hot on the heels of a lawsuit against the company. Disney and NBCUniversal sued Midjourney last week on claims of copyright infringement. And as with any AI tool, there's always a potential for misuse. But Midjourney has nicely asked that people "please use these technologies responsibly" so surely nothing will go wrong.

Adobe (NasdaqGS:ADBE) Sees 12% Dip Despite Strong Earnings Report
Adobe experienced a 12% decline over the past week, despite releasing strong financial results that showcased a significant increase in revenue and net income, compared to the previous year. The company's forward guidance for Q2 2025 and its ongoing share buyback program reflect continued efforts to enhance shareholder value. However, these events coincided with broader market concerns, as U.S. markets struggled with a 2% decline amid political and economic uncertainties. Despite Adobe's robust earnings and strategic partnerships, including ones with The Estée Lauder Companies and integration with Phenom, the overall market sentiment likely dampened investor enthusiasm. Furthermore, even as major tech stocks like Nvidia showed resilience with gains, Adobe's share price did not follow suit during a week marked by a mixed performance in the tech sector. As a result, recent investor sentiment, possibly influenced by geopolitical and economic factors, likely contributed to the downturn in Adobe's stock price. Our valuation report unveils the possibility Adobe's shares may be trading at a discount. Uncover 15 companies that survived and thrived after COVID and have the right ingredients to survive Trump's tariffs. Over the past five years, Adobe's total shareholder returns reached 33.66%, encompassing share price appreciation and dividends. This performance reflects Adobe's consistent revenue and profit growth, despite a recent underperformance relative to the US Software industry and the broader US market over the last year. A key factor was Adobe's substantial share repurchase plan, including the completion of buybacks amounting to over US$9.88 billion, which reinforced shareholder value through reduced share count. In addition, the company achieved significant earning growth with improvements such as high profit margins, elevated by the robust adoption of innovative technology solutions like Adobe Firefly and generative AI partnerships, such as the collaboration with The Estée Lauder Companies. These factors, paired with the consistent roll-out of product enhancements like the Firefly Video Model, have played crucial roles in sustaining Adobe's long-term value amidst changing market conditions.

Adobe's Firefly generative AI video app is now in public beta
Adobe's Firefly Video Model is in public beta as of today, meaning the days of praying you had a chance to test it are over. The company claims that it's the first commercially safe generative AI video model in the market. Previously, it was only available in the Adobe Premiere Pro video editor with Generative Extend, but you can also access a standalone Firefly web app now. For those unaware, Adobe's Firefly Video Model powers the Generate Video feature, which can generate video clips from a text prompt or image. It can also edit images, turn them into videos, create 3D worlds and more. The content is 'safe' for commercial use too, since the AI applies watermarks signifying which parts have AI assistance, and that can be checked with the Adobe Content Authenticity web app's Inspect tool. In other words, it's 'safe' because people can check if AI was used in the content due to embedded data. The Firefly web app integrates with Adobe Creative Cloud apps such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Express and more. Three new features available on the app today include video generation and scene-to-image generation with the ability to fine-tune footage, allowing users to make images from 3D sketches, plus audio and video translation into supported languages. Currently, there are two pricing plans: Firefly Standard and Firefly Pro. The former grants access to 2,000 video/audio credits a month and 20 five-second 1080p video generations, while the latter increases the number of credits to 7,000 and video generations to 70. A Firefly Premium plan for professionals is coming soon. You can now purchase a Firefly Standard subscription for $10 a month, while a Firefly Pro subscription costs $30 a month.
