Q & A
What is the main focus of the mid Journey update discussed in the transcript?
-The main focus of the mid Journey update is style consistency, specifically the introduction of a new feature that combines image prompting with style tuning to create a new style based on provided image URLs or multiple image URLs.
How does the new style reference feature work in mid Journey?
-The style reference feature works by issuing the --s ref command along with the image you are referencing. This allows the user to create an image in a style that is influenced by the provided reference image URL.
What is the current access status for the new mid Journey Alpha website?
-Access to the new mid Journey Alpha website has been opened to users who have generated more than 5,000 images, and users who have generated 1,000 images are expected to gain access soon.
How can users control the influence of each image URL in the style reference feature?
-Users can control the overall influence of each image URL by using the waiting command, which allows them to adjust the intensity of the style reference, with options ranging from 1 to 1,000.
What is the difference between style referencing and simple image referencing?
-Style referencing is different from simple image referencing in that it not only uses the image as a reference but also blends the style of the reference image with the generated content, creating a more stylistically consistent output.
What are some limitations of the new style reference feature?
-The style reference feature does not currently support consistent characters and can become temperamental when pushed too far, especially when using three style references that do not have a thematic connection.
What is the current status of stable video from stability.a?
-Stable video from stability.a is currently in beta and is available for free during this period. It offers a platform for stable video diffusion 1.1, which is open source and may be the underlying technology for other platforms.
What are some of the camera motion options available in stable video?
-In stable video, users can lock the camera, shake the camera, tilt it down, perform an orbit, pan, and zoom in and out. There are also experimental camera motion options that users can explore.
How does the voting system work in stable video?
-After generating a video, users can vote on which of the generations from other users they think looks good. This interactive feature allows for community involvement in the creative process and can be a way to pass time while waiting for generations to complete.
What are the text video options in stable video?
-For text video, users have options for three different aspect ratios and can choose from a number of different styles to generate a video. They can input a text prompt and select from four generated options to find the one that best suits their needs.
What is the overall impression of the creative AI space based on the transcript?
-The overall impression is that the creative AI space is rapidly advancing, with new features and platforms being developed and improved. The speaker is excited about the potential of these tools and looks forward to seeing the progress in the near future.
