Midjourney Office Hours (9th Oct 2024)
Major upgrades to the web editor and personalization are on the way. Others are works in progress.
Dear readers,
Here is the summary of the latest Midjourney Office Hours:
The new image editor (web editor) and personalization features will be the major changes coming soon.
The new editor will enable users to import images created outside of Midjourney for image reference and editing.
The new personalization feature will make it easier to create a new personalization profile from scratch using fast personalization.
It will support multiple personalization profiles.
It is also possible to have a personalized image feed.
Perhaps in the future, no one will use the default image model. Everyone will be using a personalized image model.
This will have a significant impact on the workflow for creating images and customizing the user interface.
Midjourney V7 remains a work in progress. There are some big questions to answer.
The new model will be multilingual, with improved text rendering and more coherent imagery.
The model's customization will make it easier for people to use because it will provide a better prompt understanding.
The Midjourney video model is ready, but it is unclear what type of model will be released.
Decisions to be made include frame rate, final resolution, feature, cost, and so on.
The challenge is to keep the video model from becoming too big and costly for anyone to use.
David stated that he does not want the video feature to cost an additional $30 for users to use.
He wants to make the video model more affordable and faster.
The video model he envisioned is intended for general and recreational use, not for professionals. The video will not have a very high resolution.
The developers have collected their first major 3D model asset, which is currently undergoing training. They want to make it faster. It is unclear whether 3D will be an extension of the video model.
There will be a blog post where users can explore the demographic results. Users can try to generate images based on the selected demographic profile, including extreme profiles like super feminine (which generates pinkish images) and super masculine (which generates horror and violent images).
Midjourney hired several hardware experts. They are currently looking to hire web front-end developers.
At some point, Midjourney will create a mobile app. However, the app's features are still being debated compared to the desktop version.
