Weird
Midjourney's videos are only generated 4 seconds at a time, so if you want something longer then you have to extend one you generated earlier. This is why, starting with one of the AI-generated static images I regularly use, I gave it the prompt: "A young woman starts to change her outfit into something more formal, ready to attend a job interview."
Midjourney also provides periodic snapshots of the videos it's creating so you can watch its progress. Here's what the above prompt gave me at 92% completion, onto which I've added a black bar to spare the AI character's blushes:
Here's what it gave me at 100% completion:
It did rerun the prompt for me (without my asking it to do so), one result of which also looks perilously close to banning levels and the other three of which involve impossible human contortions, so I've abandoned the idea.
I don't know why Midjourney can't run its censorship-checking algorithm before showing the snapshots, but it might be prudent to consider it. With a different prompt, there are far darker images it could have shown me before it decided to abort.
