Midjourney News: Upcoming Features and What's Next

Are you curious about what's coming to Midjourney? Each week, the team shares updates and hints about new features in their office hours. Here’s a recap of the key points from the May 7th session, covering surveys, new tools, and future plans.

Helping Decide Midjourney's Future

The Midjourney team wants your input. They have a new survey asking what you think they should focus on next. You can find this survey in the update section on Discord or on the Midjourney website. Your vote helps them decide which features are most important.

The team has already released many updates recently, like the new `--ref` and `--sref` parameters, the new Omni reference feature, and fast mode. Because of this, updates might be a bit slower this week. But they are still working on some cool things.

Small Updates Coming Soon

A small editor update is in the works. This update will let you rotate and flip images. This simple addition should be helpful for tweaking your creations.

Bigger Features on the Horizon

The team is trying to bring out some bigger features soon:

• An image quality boost is being worked on.

• A personalized explore page is planned, showing images just for you.

These might not arrive this week, but they are trying to release the new SRF (Style Reference) features and Mood Boards next week.

Improving References and Styles

The team thinks they can get multiple Omni references to work together. This could give you even more control over your image generation.

Better aesthetics are also coming. To get the look right, they need more ranking parties where users rate images to help train the model.

They also plan to create a better way to explore styles. While the random SRF feature will stay, they want something even better.

Managing all these new features – multiple references, different styles, quality boosts – can get complex. If you want to streamline your workflow and get more out of Midjourney, consider the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. It can help automate parts of your image creation process.

Draft Mode and Performance Boosts

Improvements to Draft Mode are planned for maybe next month. The goal is to make it more reliable and better.

Both Draft mode and Turbo mode should improve soon. A new server cluster is coming online in about 30 days. This extra power should help things run faster and more smoothly.

Video Model Getting Closer

A video model for Midjourney is getting closer to being ready. While not fully tested yet, the team is happy with the quality so far. They think it might be more reliable than video tools from other services.

They are still deciding how the video model will work. There might be different options, like a cheaper mode and a more expensive one, but these are just ideas for now. It's hard to say exactly when it will come out. It might depend on having that new server cluster ready.

Version 7 vs. Version 8 Debate

A big discussion point for the team right now is whether to add every possible new feature to version 7 or start building version 8. This is another reason why filling out the priority survey is so important. Your feedback helps them make this big decision.

Keeping track of all these updates and making the most of them can take time. Tools like the TitanXT Midjourney Automator are designed to help you manage different settings and experiments more efficiently. It can enhance your experience with both current and upcoming features.

Summary

Midjourney has a lot planned, from small editor tweaks to big features like a video model and improvements to core modes. The team is actively seeking community feedback to guide their next steps, especially on whether to focus on perfecting version 7 or moving towards version 8.

Stay tuned for more updates, and consider checking out the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite if you're looking to optimize your creative workflow as Midjourney continues to grow.
