A few months ago I helped NMatic to create this commercial spot for @phonak . The brief required a high-fidelity nature documentary aesthetic, but AI generated.
@midjourney for visual direction
@Kling_ai (mostly) + some Veo for motion

@midjourney video is out and it is gorgeousโฆ in gorgeous 480p. ๐
Luckily, I got early access to @topazlabs Astra creative video upscaler, and here are some very quick tests.
Video breakdown:
1. Astra Creative Subtle - adds details where missing, keeps overall look
2. Astra Precise (Quality) - more or less your good old video upscaler
3. Astra Creative Bold - adds details, takes more freedom in changing stuff
4. Midjourney original (480p) - yes, beautiful, but... 480p, c'mon guys
5-8. same, but zoomed 2x for your convenience ๐
Long story short, looks like we are entering in a new era of video upscaling! My personal favorite is Creative Subtle.
Creative Bold tends to get a bit too much on the animation/AI-look side (something I noticed basically in all examples Iโve seen so far), while Creative Subtle sort of gives you best of 2 worlds.
One thing I wish Astra had is more sliders/controls (a-la Magnific) to guide the creativity, and also a possibility to add a text prompt.
If Astra public release comes before we can get useable resolution from Midjourney video natively, this combination looks like a viable solution for Midjourneyโs current limitations.
Oh, and both Astra and Midjourney video totally rock in their category! Just give a nerd like me some more sliders (Astra) and higher native resolution (Midjourney), please . ๐
What are your impressions of the new Midjourney video model and did you get a chance to try Astra? Drop your thoughts below.

@TheoMediaAI@midjourney I was/am in the middle of production, so in my case images are to blame too, but video def contributed significantly to the fact I burned most of my Pro plan credits in just a few days. :)
@krea_ai is releasing their brand new frontier image model Krea 1 (or simply K1). I got an opportunity to test it today, and the realism is simply astonishing!
Those skin details...

Using traditional 3D material preview spheres as inputs for Gen-4 References is super powerful ๐
With the [pattered fabric] material in image 1, show me a [couch] made out of the material
Just replace the bracketed elements๐
@jdp2oo Well yeah, upscaling can be hit or miss depending on the image, with Magnific you really need to experiment with the sliders every time, it's pure alchemy ๐
@jdp2oo This is actually pretty good! Even though the original is more detailed obviously, the likeness is spot on! Have you tried running it through something like Magnific?
