What's New in Midjourney? A Look at the Latest Video Model and Future Updates

The Midjourney team recently shared exciting updates from their June 18th office hours. Big news includes the release of a new video model, plus hints about faster speeds, better image tools, and plans for 3D art. Here’s a simple look at what’s changing and what’s coming next for your creative work.

Midjourney's Video Model Has Arrived

Midjourney has launched version one of its video model. It's fast and easy to use, available to all paid users. Keep in mind that making videos costs about as much as four image upscales. This new tool lets you choose how your camera moves:

• Use high motion when you want the camera to move a lot.

• Use low motion for a more steady camera view.

Right now, video output is 480p, which is a lower resolution. The good news is that upgrades are planned for clearer videos. Want to make your Midjourney creative process even smoother? Consider using tools that automate repetitive tasks. You can explore how automation helps enhance your creative work at TitanXT's Midjourney Automation Suite.

Future Plans: Better Video and Image Creation

Improving Video Quality

The Midjourney team is focused on making videos even better. They are working on several key improvements:

• A video upscaler is coming to boost resolution.

• A special Midjourney video model is being developed for dedicated video output.

• General updates will help improve video quality.

What's Next for Images: Version 7.1

Midjourney is currently training version 7.1. David, from the Midjourney team, noted that lessons learned from making the video model are expected to help improve the image model too. There's also a small chance for improvements to how images show detailed objects, but this is not guaranteed yet.

Faster Speeds and New Potential

Get Ready for Turbo Video Speeds

New servers are being brought online, which means faster processing for your video creations. Soon, you might see a "video turbo mode" that could make things much quicker:

Pricing and What Else is on the Horizon

Looking at Pricing

The team needs to make sure they are covering their costs before they make any further price reductions. They aim to balance service quality with access.

A Glimpse at 3D

After the current video features are stable, Midjourney plans to return to working on integrating 3D capabilities. This is a longer-term goal that will open up new creative avenues for users.

Spark Your Creativity: A Prompt Idea

For those looking to try a new creative challenge, here’s a prompt concept shared by the community:

• Try "A scene in a scene, blank in blank". For example, "A beach party in a bottle, ocean in a seashell" or "A city in a teacup, stars in a dewdrop." Get creative with it!

Final Thoughts

Midjourney is moving fast with new features for both video and images. The new video model is just the beginning, with more speed and quality improvements planned. Keep an eye out for version 7.1 and future 3D tools.

These updates aim to give creators more power and flexibility. To make the most of these advances and free up more of your time for actual creation, consider how automation can streamline your workflow tasks. Check out the Midjourney Automation Suite to enhance your creative journey.
