Midjourney's Latest News: Faster V7, Video, and What's Next

Get the brief update from the recent Midjourney office hours. Find out what's happening with the current V7 model, plans for version 8, and upcoming features like video creation and new ways to use style references.

Core Model Updates: V7, V7.1, and the Look Ahead to V8

Good news if you use Midjourney V7. A faster version is planned very soon. After that speed boost, V7 will become the standard model for all users. The team is thinking about a quick update, maybe V7.1. But the bigger goal is to move toward version 8. Building V8 will take a few months. The team is excited about the direction this new model will take.

Exciting New Features on the Horizon

Several new tools are coming to help you create images. A new style reference feature is nearing release. It might include a random option at launch. Testing with guides and mods is happening now. The team is also working on a multi-photo reference tool. This means you can give Midjourney more than one picture to use as a reference. This feature needs another week or two to be ready.

Midjourney Video Models

Major progress is happening with video models. By the end of the month, internal testing for this feature will start. They are deciding between making videos from text prompts or from existing images. There will likely be different quality levels, sizes, and speeds for the videos you can make. The main challenge for launching video is having enough server power. They are waiting for new servers. If the new servers are delayed, the video feature might first launch only for users on higher plans.

Managing new features and testing them can add steps to your creative process. If you're looking for ways to make using Midjourney smoother, especially with many ideas or tests, consider checking out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. It can help manage tasks and enhance your workflow.

Improving the User Experience and Workflow

More rating parties are coming. The goal is to make the default look of V7 better. They are not sure yet if there will be rating parties for the video model. The team might show some example videos they've made publicly at some point. After the new style reference is out, a style explorer tool is planned. They are also testing new, faster voice modes and working on new interfaces for pro users. These new interfaces could tie into a big batch mode feature.

A survey about enterprise and API use might happen soon. This survey is to help the team understand needs in these areas, which could lead to exciting new options for some users.

Using a range of features and models can become complex. Tools that help streamline your use of Midjourney can make a big difference. The Midjourney Automation Suite by TitanXT is built to help you automate and simplify managing your generations.
