Understanding additional imaging parameters, part 2 - Midjourney Tutorial

- [Instructor] In this video, we're going to continue to explore parameters that we can add to the end of text prompts as we are creating our images inside of Midjourney. Let's get started with our handy imagine prompt, followed by a colon. And in this case, we're going to create some video and I'm going to type in an establishing shot of an Olympic race, and I'm going to follow that with a comma, ollowed by --video. Once I press Return, we can see here that the default v6.0 has been enabled on my system, so that's the current version of Midjourney that I'm using. And let's see what it comes up with. Now, by default, you're going to just see still images, but in order to get a link to the video, simply go to the more section, add the envelope to the end of the job, and you're going to now see your video available down here, not to mention a link here to midjourney.com where we can visit and preview the video that was produced, which is a fade in animation. Excellent, let's head back to Midjourney and test out another prompt. So I've selected the imagine prompt here, followed by colon. I'm going to type in planets in the Milky Way. And at the end of my prompt, I'm going to keep it at square again, but I'm going to add -tile. And this parameter is going to make each of the four images a seamless texture. So it's really good to check the accuracy of your tiles once they've been produced. I'm going to press U1 in order to upscale that, and once that's produced, I'm going to Right Click and save this image to the desktop. And I'm now here at a link that you can check out to make sure your texture is seamless. If you press file, simply select the seamless tile in question, and load it in. You can simply use the scroll bar in order to zoom in and out to make sure that it's okay. We can see here that the tile isn't perfect in this instance. Let me actually choose another file of something that I produced earlier of some Airstreams, and we can see here that this is much more accurate in what's being produced, it seems seamless to me, even at a small level. So really important to check its accuracy 'cause Midjourney is not perfect with every single tile command. Last but not least, we're going to take a look at the stop parameter, which will actually stop your job at a certain percentage point. To see this in action, I'm just going to type in the imagine prompt that we've been using, and I'm going to type a 1960s portrait of a woman shot on a 35mm lens through a rainy window sill. I'll follow that with a comma, and let's go --ar for aspect ratio. In this case, I want it to be 4:6, and I'll then follow that with the --stop command, where I'll want it to stop at 80% in this case. Now you can see there when it hit 80%, the job actually stopped, and here are the 1960 portraits that we have ended up with on the rainy window sill. You can see this also appears to be a little bit of out of focus in some cases because that job stopped early. This could be a great way of artistic expression by simply stopping your job at a certain point. You might just want to use this in a case when you're not sure of a text prompt, so it doesn't take so much time generating your image, you have an idea of what it's going to produce a little bit earlier. We've gone over six different types of parameters in these last two movies. And keep in mind that you can always rewind these movies to understand what they've done again, and you also have Midjourney's documentation that goes over each of these parameters. A few parameters that we haven't covered are style and stylize, which we're going to cover in the next movie, specifically style and how that can help us drive and create text inside of our images.
