Thanks for putting this together. I've been thinking over the last couple of days that I need to create some kind of list to keep it all straight. I just grabbed it from Gumroad....you rock!
It is really handy to have a quick visual reference. There are so many times where I’m working on something and so deep in the woods, that I forget I have all these options! Thanks so much for the comment!
@@TheoreticallyMedia Absolutely! I was wondering if you were going to cover "Shorten" and then I realized that it's not a "--dash dash, it's a forward slash I believe / Maybe that's your next guide :)
Thank you so much!! I had promised to do this video in the Prompting one I did, since I thought it was important to have all these commands archived in one video, but trying to keep it under the length of a Lord of the Rings movie. Super happy you enjoyed it!
Love your videos! Regarding STOP parameter - I find it very useful when working on art (painterly styles) to stop at 98%, before the final very harsh sharpening is applied. Also, I've heard that when attempting to render Text or Letters, there's a method of stopping (30-50%), upscaling the most accurately rendered shape, then using that upscale as a guide/reference image for a repeat prompt.
Great video, again! I'd love to see a video guide to some best practices for parameter combinations. Things that show off your knowledge of how midjourney works, ie. knowing that the style is gonna be extreme, so adding "--style raw --no color --ar 2:1" when you are generating something you want to look like a noir film still.
Thank you so much! I'll give that idea a spin at some point! I might integrate it into a revision to the Cinematic Prompt Formula I did awhile back (like v.4! Can't believe it has been that long!)-- but I'll say, part of what I love doing is just giving you all the tools and seeing how you mash them all together! I'm endlessly amazed at everyone's creativity, and I never want to stifle that with a "this is the way you should do it" approach. I know that's not what you meant, but that's a line I'm constantly juggling. That said, your Noir idea sounds like a great example to showcase how the dashes can achieve a specific look! I'll put it on the list for next month!
Excellent to hear! I’ll be getting back to MJ videos soon, but they’ve been kind of quiet lately. I think we’re on the cusp of a whole slew of new features though!
@@TheoreticallyMedia I made this one with Pika Labs. BTW I was already doing the drunk clowns in the Appalachians before I saw your clown in super market. Great minds think alike :) ruclips.net/video/-SMF7zyHGpc/видео.html
Amazing overview, great job! I find myself falling in a spiral with so many options that work with each other. haha. The one thing that annoys me sometimes is when I create environments or landscapes I get quite a bit of artifacts. I tried the 'no' command with artifacts but that was wishful thinking. haha. I also should note these landscapes are in anime, cartoon or comic styles. Have you found a secret method to get more clean renders without artifacts?
Have you tired Niji for that? I was going to dive into that to see if I could break it for sort of non-anime looks, or see what happens when you really experiment around with it. I haven't (and I think many MJ users) haven't really dug in there, and I'm sure it's a gold mine of interesting stuff. I'll dig into some artifact removal ideas as well!
@@TheoreticallyMedia Yeah, I use Niji 5 quite a bit for some things but for some cartoon renders, niji doesn't really work. From a distance the environments and landscapes aren't that bad - but when you start looking closer there's artifacts everywhere, even with niji sometimes. But I always end up editing anything and everything I get from MJ - so I just spend a lot of time fixing stuff. But with those weird artifacts, I end up just redrawing from scratch. haha. The new Beta features in PS does help a ton. I get excited with every update, knowing they are improving the small things.
Yeah, working on it. I'm trying to find a sweet spot for it now. I think I might have it dialed in. If you have a minute, check out this video and let me know if the music is too loud: ruclips.net/video/ZyWcAV7z3Hg/видео.html I took it to -30db, and I think that's a good spot. But yeah, let me know if you still find it too high!
hey i have a question. while im learning all of this, i have used mid journey when it first came out. and id like to know is there a way i can see all of my prompt images? like my whole image creation history?
For me, that kind of starts at the prompt level. I'll generally try to prompt something like: "Photo of a Man in a Blue Business suit, white background, studio lighting" That generally seems to indicate to MJ that I want a photo against a white backdrop, which I can then edit in Photoshop. There's also the "Green Screen" method, which I detail in this video: ruclips.net/video/XE4gkBJTTMk/видео.html
Hello you are willing to give PDFs totally free and i appreciated .İ am from Turkey so because of inflation and economic crysis giving a donation high for me even its not high for you. Can you help in this issue
Well, you can change versions by issuing a dash dash command. But there isn’t anything quite like Niji. To be honest, I don’t cover Niji as much as I should here! There are a lot of cool outputs you can get with it!
Why is this word so hard for everybody it's like the fourth different way I've heard it said is not parameters it's not perimeters - parameters nope perimeters utgg I've been watching RUclips videos of people saying the word differently so long I don't even know what the actual word is anymore lol
Ha! Super valid! The other one that I contanstanly screw up in "Interpolate" Inter-Pol-Ate? Interpol-Ate? No matter which is the correct, I'm going to find a way to say it wrong.
I've done several JH prompts and always comes out in his Right hand even prompting Left handed dosn't change the picture. just have to go with head shots:)
Ty for another great video. I'm curious now to see what happens when I run --style raw --s 1000 Will that turn MJ's mind into an /imagine prompt: Matrix inspired pretzel selfie in the style of Surreal Narcissism? 🥨🤳
Love the simplicity of explanation - It's a really an in depth explanation that serves as introduction to commands in Mid Journey.
So happy to hear! For me, it also serves as a nice little cheat sheet to remember all those commands!

This concise summary is fantastic not just for parameters specifics but for a comparison between degrees of strength as well!

the most resourceful video for any MJ beginner. Thanks! learning!

Oh, those are AMAZING tips! I'm going to have to try that!! Thanks for the heads up!!
I just subscribed. I'm a total fan. I will be following you on the links. I wish you a lot of success brother. You have a lot going on.
Haha, sometime too much!!
The Midjourney toast really be hitting different XD Thank you for these super straight to the point educational videos Tim!
Great video Tim! Always outstanding explanations! Thanks!!!!
Thanks you so much! Man, this is an OLD one!! The simple days!
Amazing info as always! Thanks for breaking these down.

great info, very learnful. i'm gonna play with it. thanks!
Thank you for info my most common used -- : --ar 16:9 --s 400 --c 40
C 40 does seem to be a real gold mine of creativity. I really like at 2:1 as well. It’s got that really epic widescreen look!
Thanks again. Been watching and taking notes. Beginning to understand some concepts of this. Thank you very much. :-)
So informative and helpful! Thank you!

Hands down my favorite AI guy. Another great one Tim!! Sounding great; looking well! :) You are in a class of your own. Thank you!
Thank you. this looks very useful . I just realized after an an hr Pika is Dash (no Dash Dash :) at least i didn't spend $10 on Runway to learn that

Interesting instructions and advice, but could that background music be turned down or not at all. Is too distracting.

Tim, I followed your steps for the video but it is not working. Suggestions?
According to James Taylor's lyrics in Sweet Baby James, cowboys dream about women and glasses of beer, so the empty bottles kind of make sense. 🤣
Haha, that’s a great song!
Sir, can't we create a video of an upscaled image ?
I don’t believe so, since it is like a cake that has already been baked.
i dont have ther envelope emoji at the 3 dots to gain information for the seed number
Are you on mobile?
I feel like the video command could be used for something like the "SECRET INVASION" title sequence.

Hi
Hi Louis! Hope things are well!
Hendrix was a lefty... interesting that the model isn't yet smart enough to reflect that.
Ahhhh, I should have caught that lefty part! Also, I presume his guitar is slightly out of tune in that picture!
(Big Jimi fan here!)
@@TheoreticallyMedia I wonder how long before the models can start getting stuff like that right?
