Midjourney Update: Editor Tools, Video, and What's Coming Next

Here's a quick look at the latest news from the Midjourney team as discussed in their recent office hours. They talked about what's new, what's coming soon, and some big decisions they need help with from the community.

Help Shape Midjourney's Future

Midjourney is asking for your input! They put out a new survey to help decide what they should focus on next. You can find it in the update section on Discord or on the Midjourney website. They've added a lot recently, including a new parameter, omni reference, and fast mode. Now they need your help to figure out what to prioritize next.

Upcoming Features and Improvements

Editor Updates

A small editor update is on the way soon. It will add basic tools like rotation and flipping to help you adjust your images directly.

Image Quality and Style

The team is also trying to boost image quality. They are working on a better style explorer tool. They want something improved compared to SRF Random, although SRF Random isn't going away. Expect better aesthetics in the future, though they need more ranking parties to finish the style.

SRF and Mood Boards

They are aiming to release updates for the new SRF and mood boards next week.

Performance and Draft Mode

Good news for performance: a new server cluster is expected online in about 30 days. This should help improve both draft mode and turbo mode. They also have ideas for a much improved draft mode that could be more consistent and work better, though this is planned for next month rather than immediately.

Managing image generation at scale can be demanding. For users who frequently use Midjourney, automating repetitive tasks can save significant time and effort. Explore the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT to see how you can streamline your workflow and generate more images efficiently.

Multiple Omni References and Other Tests

The team thinks they can get multiple Omni references to work, which would add more flexibility to generating images based on multiple sources.

They are also testing an image quality boost and a personalized explore page just for you. These might not arrive this week, but they are in progress.

The Video Model is Getting Closer

One of the most anticipated features, the video model, is getting nearer to release. The team is happy with the quality they see so far. They think it will be more consistent than other similar services. They are still figuring out details like potential modes (maybe a cheaper or more expensive option). They haven't decided on all the specifics or a release date yet, and it might rely on that new server cluster to run well.

Think about how much easier managing and organizing your video creations could be. Just like automating image tasks, having tools that handle the repetitive parts of your generative AI work lets you focus on being creative. Find out how dedicated tools like the Midjourney Automation Suite can simplify your workflow and support your creative output.

The Big Question: V8 vs. V7 Features

Right now, the biggest discussion for the team is whether their next major step should be releasing version 8 or putting out every possible feature they can in version 7 first. This is exactly what the new priority survey is designed to help them decide. Make sure you share your thoughts by filling out the survey!

Summary

Midjourney keeps working on new tools and improvements, from small editor updates to major features like a video model. Letting them know your priorities through the survey is the best way to help guide their future development. Stay tuned for more updates soon.

For power users looking to get the most out of their Midjourney time, consider automating common steps. The Midjourney Automation Suite by TitanXT helps manage and scale your image creation process efficiently.
