@amli_art Love those visuals! @NoiseeAi's got huge potential.

I've been impressed by how it expresses the vibe of the music. This is one I made 👇

This is how AI changes professional filmmaking.

Dave Clark’s - Another fuses live-action with AI-generated VFX in this slick horror short.

This hybrid approach brings unattainable shots into reach for smaller-budget film-makers.

Midjourney v7 on the horizon < 3 months

[Alie Jules @aliejules]

Midjourney Office Hours - March 27, 2024

A recap.

Website
Working on the next rollout:
- access to more people
- new social/group features

v7
- moving along
- better image quality, prompt understanding, aesthetics

Personalization
- will try to push model personalization out in 1-2 weeks
- you will be able to turn the personalization on and off
- will be off by default for v6
- it's not really a 'style' - will change the biases e.g. from the default Midjourney model biases
- if you want to be ready for the personalization, you can do that by rating images for about 10-15 minutes (on the website /rank)
- will not come to Niji!

v6
- may have one more update to improve body, hands, etc.
- may have a speed update (not 100% sure yet)
- looking at doing a style random

Other
Not doing a v6 style tuner.

Rating party for captioning.
- asking people to describe images to help improve prompt understanding
- approximately in a week
- two rounds of ratings (write your own captions, then rate which is a better caption from two options)
- do NOT use AI to write your captions!!

News and Bug Reporting features now on the website.

50/50 3D will come before video

Video before end of the year.

@Azed__design ❤️ That's one of my favourites, Amira. Thank you!

[Augmented Future @AugFutMedia]

I use this👇 all the time. It’s 🔥

[Recraft @recraftai]

Want to generate an image in a style you love? Upload one or more source images to Recraft and generate as many visuals as you want in that style.

Fabulous for designers who want to be creative within a distinct brand look and feel.

@doganuraldesign It is so early for this technology in terms of capabilities and the UX for controlling it.

If we are brutal, few AI-generated videos can be used outside of surreal art projects.

That's what Sora's marketing said 👇

It will happen, but is it possible without huge compute?

[Augmented Future @AugFutMedia]

That's mindblowing.

Yes, some of the vocals are still in the uncanny valley, there's a little bit of hazy distortion on some of them, but I think most people wouldn't be able to tell these apart from human-made tracks.

What do you think?

[Augmented Future @AugFutMedia]

With @suno_ai_ V3 released a few days ago, it's time to find out if it can make radio-quality tracks.

These are some top-ranked songs created by the community. What do you think?

And finally some driving synth wave. https://t.co/gZ9iKNe9GF

@alexgnewmedia @HaiperGenAI Thanks. :)
Yeah man, so many are launching every week. Fun time to be making stuff!

[Augmented Future @AugFutMedia]

@alexgnewmedia @HaiperGenAI Thanks. Yes, that's great to know. Off to create some clips...

[Augmented Future @AugFutMedia]

@alexgnewmedia @HaiperGenAI 2 days is pretty good going for a full-length trailer! How AI has changed our perception of time/effort. 😅

Can you generate more than one video at a time on Haiper (multi-tabs)?

[Augmented Future @AugFutMedia]

@alexgnewmedia @HaiperGenAI Nice! @HaiperGenAI looks like it's got real potential. We need more than 2 secs to see it though 😂
