Latest Midjourney Updates: Speed, Style, and Video

Hey everyone, here's a simple look at the recent news shared during the Midjourney office hours. They talked about new updates that are here now and big plans coming soon.

What's New Right Now?

Midjourney quietly made some changes already. You might not have noticed, but these updates are live.

• The Version 7 model is faster. It runs about 30% quicker now.

• They made changes to how the editor checks images. This improved moderation helps decide which prompts are okay. You can try your prompts again and see if they work better now.

Updates Coming Next

The Midjourney team is working on some important new features.

Style Reference System

A new way to use style reference is coming. They are still making final checks. It seems this new system works much better than before. It will also work with mood boards. It might launch without a full random style feature at first.

Omni Reference Issues

News about Omni reference isn't as good. They are finding it hard to make multiple reference images work the way they hoped. They are still figuring out what to do. This means it could take longer than planned, maybe even after Version 8 comes out.

Future Decisions

Soon, you can help Midjourney decide what to build next. There will be more chances to vote on features. The team wants to add simpler things first before working on harder projects.

Big Things on the Horizon

After these near-future updates, a really big feature is planned.

The Video Model

Midjourney is building a video model. Guides and helpers will start testing it soon. The team is happy with how it looks. It should have settings so everyone can try it. At first, it probably won't have a slow 'relax' mode. They worry about needing lots of computers.

Next week, people might be able to help test and rate videos made by the community. Get ready to see what's possible!

Using new features like the video model often involves repeating steps to get the right look. If you want to save time and make your image or video creation process smoother, consider automating parts of your workflow. Check out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT.

What About Future Versions?

After the video feature launches, the team has ideas for Version 7.1. They will try some things with Version 8 first. How those tests go will help them decide if they release 7.1 next or go straight to Version 8.

Web Features Update

Work continues on the web version of Midjourney.

• They are still building the explore page that shows you content based on what you like.

• People aren't using the chat rooms on the website much. Midjourney might remove them and add something else instead.

• They updated the editor on the website. You can now turn images around (rotate them).

Trying out new features and options can sometimes feel repetitive, especially when aiming for specific results. A tool that helps you manage your Midjourney tasks can make a big difference. The Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT is designed to help you do more with less manual work.

Conclusion

Midjourney is moving fast with updates, from faster speed to planned video creation. Some things like Omni reference are taking more time, but new features like a better style system are close. Keep an eye out for ways to help shape the future and try new tools like the video model.

Whether you are just starting or making many images, running prompts and keeping track can be a lot. To make using Midjourney easier and faster for your projects, explore automating tasks. Find out more about making your Midjourney work simpler with the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT.
