• Midjourney Video is HERE—Nerds React + New SREF System Chop-Up

  Rory’s parents are laughing in the background. Drew just got a Midjourney tattoo that reads "/imagine". And somehow, Midjourney video dropped in the middle of all this.This week on Midjourney Fast Hours, the boys stumble into an accidental emergency episode because (surprise!), Midjourney just casually launched the most fun AI video tool yet. No press release. No tweetstorm. Just boom, it’s here. And it works. Like, stupidly well.They run live experiments, break down what’s working (and what’s weird), and unpack the shockingly seamless auto-prompt, motion settings, extend feature, 4-up grid, and how it plays with SREF. Spoiler: SREF just got way more powerful—and more confusing. Also, Drew finds a way to sneak himself into a talking head video, naturally.Think you’re burned out on AI?
