    Sora 2, Veo 3 & The AI Video Gold Rush

    Midjourney Fast Hours — Episode 51: “Sora 2, Veo 3 & The AI Video Gold Rush” Drew and Rory crawl out of their creative caves after a month-long “break” (read: total burnout) and immediately get smacked in the face by Sora 2, Veo 3, and Midjourney Style Explorer updates that make everything they said last episode obsolete. They break down what’s actually working in Sora 2 (full edits, audio, dialogue, even IP?), why Veo 3 can’t seem to go fast anymore, and how keyframes are quietly becoming the holy grail of AI video. Expect rants about IP chaos, Mr. Rogers cameos, and why OpenAI’s guerilla launch strategy might be the smartest marketing move of 2025. It’s equal parts therapy session, tech panic, and creative caffeine rush — exactly how they like it.

    Unpacking Midjourney's Style Explorer + Slipping Deeper Into Nano Banana 🍌

    The Midjourney Fast Hours crew hits episode 50…and immediately forgets to throw a party. Instead, Drew and Rory stumble into a killer trick inside the brand-new Style Explorer (yes, that hidden Smart Search → Styles move), while guest Allar Haltsonen cheerfully roasts their “we’ll plan it later” energy and shows how RAW can completely flip a style’s look. They blitz through v7.1 notes, v8 teasers, and real-world Midjourney Video settings (SD vs HD, Loop vs Motion) before going full Nano Banana: Freepik in-app inpainting, aspect-ratio hiccups, and a slick Photoshop plug-in workflow. If you care about consistent aesthetics, faster iteration, and finding SREF styles without burning credits, this one’s pure potassium. Search hooks & keywords: Midjourney Style Explorer, SREF / SREF style codes, Smart Search trick, RAW parameter, v7.1, v8, Midjourney Video settings, Loop vs Motion, SD vs HD, OREF, Nano Banana, Freepik inpainting, Photoshop plug-in, fashion swaps, cinematic angles, moodboards, style weight, stylize. --- ⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour 00:00 — Episode 50?! housekeeping + cold open 00:06 — The “like & subscribe” bit (tell your mom, dog, everyone) 01:19 — What’s new + Allar intro; Office Hours headlines 01:49 — Style Explorer lands (why it matters for credits) 02:30 — How it works: SRF codes, Explore tab, filters (Top/Hot/Day) 05:07 — The pain of saving/organizing favorite SRFs 06:07 — “Did they rotate styles?” + early content observations 07:13 — Preview layout (character / environment / object) 08:11 — Surprise: RAW massively changes some styles 10:38 — The curly-brace RAW syntax gotcha during live tests 14:36 — Smart Search → Styles hack (the hidden gem) 18:34 — Image as SREF, weighting, and moodboard workflows 23:40 — Office Hours: v7.1, OREF improvements, draft mode, v8 path 25:48 — v8 is the big model rev; video waits until v8 ships 26:49 — Midjourney Video: manual vs auto; motion vs loop 30:23 — SD vs HD trade-offs (costs, quality) 33:04 — When to upscale before animating (text handling quirks) 35:29 — Profiles, friend rooms, global rooms, prompt battles 37:26 — Discord nostalgia: forgetting “/imagine” (oops) 38:22 — Nano Banana deep dive: why it’s workflow-changing 40:40 — Where to run it: Freepik, KREA, Google AI Studio, Higgsfield 41:01 — Aspect-ratio hiccups & hacks in Freepik 44:15 — In-app inpainting & reference characters in Freepik 45:00 — Nano Banana Photoshop plug-in (enable & flow) 48:25 — Pro tip: consistency over heavy retouching 50:54 — World-building workflows: zooms, angles, new actions 53:20 — Consistency challenges: missing doors, mismatched details 56:00 — Adding characters & branded clothing to complex scenes 58:20 — Character sheets + compositing tricks for consistency 01:00:09 — Compositing disruption: Photoshop harmonize & Nano 01:02:12 — Time-lapse edits (dust, rust, lighting changes) 01:04:39 — True world-building: multiple lives & story arcs 01:06:28 — Keep/change prompt trick for Nano Banana 01:07:09 — Pushing realism: Nano Banana vs raw Midjourney 01:08:42 — New media: character-as-influencer storytelling 01:10:20 — Rosebud & branching narrative experiments 01:11:46 — Simulation talk: where storytelling is heading 01:12:45 — Wrap-up

    Midjourney Token Bashing, Nano Banana, and Weavy with Marco Isle

    Rory and Drew invite creative polymath Marco Isle to do what this show does best: break Midjourney in interesting ways. It’s a token binge from shadow play, moonlight, GOBO shadows, datamosh, pixel smear, prismatic rainbow light streaks, and androgynous beauty plus where --exp actually makes images better (and where it ruins them). They also crack open token bashing (smashing words to birth fresh visuals), show why aspect ratio is half the art, and steal moodboard fuel from Cosmos.so. Then it gets dangerous. Nano Banana enters the chat, turning one still into dozens of consistent shots with plain-English tweaks. They compare video stacks and frames workflows (Veo-3, Kling, keyframes), talk Weavy automation, and use a real “Book of Jonah” case study (42 scenes, ~5k images) to show how fast this all moves (and where it still breaks). It’s Midjourney’s magic, but with receipts. Keywords: Midjourney tokens, token bashing, EXP settings, aspect ratio, mood boards, Cosmos.so, Nano Banana, Weavy, frames, keyframes, Veo-3, Kling, AI image generation, Midjourney video, consistency, creative workflow. --- ⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour 00:00 — Cold open + guest intro (Marco Isle) 00:35 — Marco’s background: design → UX/UI → fashion 04:48 — Aesthetics vs. mechanics; the cooking/technique mindset 10:50 — “Rome Reimagined” + early Frames testing 15:59 — Token bashing & Marco’s custom GPT flow 20:59 — Favorite tokens: shadowplay & moonlight 21:32 — New token: gobo shadows (why it works) 22:19 — Glitch looks: pixel smear & datamosh 23:34 — Prismatic rainbow light streaks (stacking ideas) 23:54 — Androgynous beauty as a control aesthetic 25:22 — --exp sweet-spots (3, 7, 10, 13)27:17 — “Liturgical drift parade” prompt set 30:24 — Why Aspect Ratio is everything 34:12 — Idea sources: mood boards + Cosmos.so 38:54 — Nano Banana enters the chat (workflow + why it’s different) 42:15 — Case study: Book of Jonah (42 scenes, ~5k images) 43:03 — Video models: Veo-3 notes + start/end frame 43:33 — Weavy & automation; setting guardrails 50:00 — NanoBanana pros/cons; real-world limitations 52:51 — Frames: Kling vs others; aspect-ratio flips 55:11 — Aspect-ratio workaround (whitespace expand) 57:47 — Keyframes consistency test (the car roll) --- LINKS: Nano Banana—Image Gen Documentation: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/image-generation#prompt-guide Marco Isle on X: https://x.com/ai_artworkgen Marco Isle on Gumroad: https://markisle.gumroad.com Drew's 1% Midjourney Style Guide: https://dcbruck.gumroad.com/l/Midjourney-Course/ib3nsqs

    Midjourney Video is HERE—Nerds React + New SREF System Chop-Up

    Rory’s parents are laughing in the background. Drew just got a Midjourney tattoo that reads "/imagine". And somehow, Midjourney video dropped in the middle of all this. This week on Midjourney Fast Hours, the boys stumble into an accidental emergency episode because (surprise!), Midjourney just casually launched the most fun AI video tool yet. No press release. No tweetstorm. Just boom, it’s here. And it works. Like, stupidly well. They run live experiments, break down what’s working (and what’s weird), and unpack the shockingly seamless auto-prompt, motion settings, extend feature, 4-up grid, and how it plays with SREF. Spoiler: SREF just got way more powerful—and more confusing. Also, Drew finds a way to sneak himself into a talking head video, naturally. Think you’re burned out on AI? This might be the update that gets you feeling things again. --- ⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour [00:00] Thursday night chaos & surprise video drop[03:40] Midjourney’s whisper video launch strategy[05:10] A wave of feature updates: SREF, video, pricing[06:15] Long-term vision: real-time world-building[07:00] First impressions of Midjourney video[08:30] Auto-prompt is criminally good[09:55] High motion vs low motion—how to choose[12:24] The magical 4-grid video preview[14:00] Interface brilliance: simplicity done right[15:20] Observations on motion templates & quirks[17:00] Animation consistency & style fidelity[18:30] Old stills, new life—archive resurrection[20:00] Using SREFs to build entire worlds[22:50] Where the current video model falls short[24:20] Enter Topaz Astra—perfect timing for upscaling[26:00] A personal story on AI, portraits & impact[28:40] Upscaler comparisons: Magnific vs Bloom[30:00] Visual bugs: wheels, backwards cars & physics[32:00] Why hands magically fix themselves in video[34:00] Face consistency & surprising details[36:45] Sneaking Drew & Rory into an animated video[37:30] New Explore page for video (and why it rules)[38:50] The Extend feature is shockingly seamless[40:15] Camera direction tips for better results[42:20] Prompt control vs camera behavior when extending[44:10] Wild new video prompts spotted on Explore[47:00] Midjourney’s edge: vibrant color retention[51:00] SREF update — what broke, what’s better[54:15] Favorite tokens: dribbble.com, Nike ads, stoicism[57:40] Using songs, moods, and weirdcore to test SREF[59:15] How --exp interacts with --sref (and when to dial it down)[01:03:00] SV6 vs SV4 — why it matters now[01:08:00] Building smart prompt batches for testing[01:10:20] Describe tool to reverse-engineer SREF aesthetics[01:17:00] Style reference vs subject leakage test[01:23:45] Personalization wish list: can ranking images help?
