Want to become PROMPT GOD at Midjourney?
Then you'll have to learn how to use text weights in Midjourney.
If you've ever dove deeper into how Midjourney text prompts work, you've probably come across different types of weights before.
But it's important that you clearly distinguish between weights that are applied to image prompts and Midjourney weights that put emphasis on specific words or phrases.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how Midjourney weights allow you to compose an image just the way you want it.

SUMMARY of the video by CHATGPT: The speaker is discussing the importance of prompt structure when using mid-journey text weights. They explain that many people believe that structuring prompts with commas separates them into different concepts, but that this is not true. They provide examples of prompts that are the same despite the use of commas and explain that mid-journey does not pay much attention to punctuation or sentence structure when interpreting prompts. They suggest that a basic rule of thumb is to not rely on commas to separate concepts in a prompt, and instead to use text weights to control the output. The speaker continues by explaining that text weights can be used to control the output of prompts by giving different weights to different keywords or concepts in a prompt. They provide several examples of prompts with weightings and compare them to the same prompts without weightings. They show that the use of weightings results in more creative and varied output. The speaker also explains that text weights can be used with full sentences and that the results can be surprisingly good. They use the example of a hacker fighting with a tree and show that the output is more creative and varied than without the use of weightings.

Super helpful, thank you! I've just recently started using Midjourney to create art concepts for my film projects. I've been getting some great results that look very realistic and filmic, but I'm still struggling a lot with more detailed framing attempts - like camera angles, positioning of characters within the frame, foreground and background and so on. I'll keep a lookout on your channel to see if you ever discuss these topics. Thanks once again!

I've found specifying the focal length in mm to be pretty consistent

[@dantevescio7811]

@@Flamamacue I'll give that a try. Thanks!

[@TokenizedAI]

There are effectively two ways to achieve what you want to do. You either need a super elaborate prompt and some luck. Or you need to use multiprompts. But those are challenging and not easily explained in a comment section. I will be doing a video on this, rest assured.

[@dantevescio7811]

@@TokenizedAI excellent, looking forward to your video. Thank you!

[@Gyork_]

Perhaps it could help starting with an image prompt. Take a picture reference roughly in the same angle, framing and composition you want and start generating variations with that as a base.

*i've only very recently(ish) started messing about with ai art generator programs and have only experimented with about three of them so far but i really like what the results have been...the randomness has been interesting and personally the distorted/disjointed surreal facial assemblages at times give the images an other worldly aspect that suits the artistic narrative i find appealing...i have found that the order in which i input my prompts also effects the final results as the first prompt is given more weight than the others...*

[@TokenizedAI]

There seems to be a general consensus that words at the beginning get more wieght than others but I really can't say that I'm convinced this is true.

[@scottmantooth8785]

@@TokenizedAI *easy enough to test this theory...generate an image using a set of prompts then then switch the order around after a few images...maybe even have the same prompt more than once but at a different place such as at the beginning and then near the end*

@@TokenizedAI Type of image woks well and doesn't with style prompts.

Glady you liked it 🙂

[@orangedrone]

Just started playing around with this myself. I think commas do still have a place. For example you can add weights to entire sentences and/or single adjectives alike: A majestic black horse on top of a mountain::5, sunset::2, etc etc. In this example it isn't just giving "mountain" a weight of 5 but that entire sentence.

[@TokenizedAI]

Yeah, but it's not doing that because of the commas. It's doing that because that how weights always work in multiprompts. The weight applies to the full sentence, so everything left of the colons....until it hits another double-colon. By the way, I use commas too. But primarily to makes things more easy to read. But they don't really do anything.

[@orangedrone]

@@TokenizedAI It’s slightly confusing then, if every word has a default of ::1 (even if it’s not typed) and you give the last keyword a higher value it’s going to effectively make everything to the left of it that higher value. To me it would make sense that a comma could act as a roadblock to cancel out that effect. Because in massive prompts I don’t really wanna go through and assign everything a weight, just a handful of spots as needed to tweak & boost.

[@TokenizedAI]

I think there a misunderstanding here. The examples I used only had singular keywords, but the "keywords" can be entire phrases as well. Example: /imagine a big house::1 spotless blue sky::2 a field of roses::3 The above example is split into 3 segments. - a big house (weight of 1) - spotless blue sky (weight of 2) - a field of roses (weight 3) Individual words don't have their own weight unless you turn them into a segment by spliting it with ::

[@Mimeniia]

Also with the example of the Hacker and Tree, I think the algorithm only applies the weighting to the word preceding it not everything before it.

[@TokenizedAI]

@@Mimeniia That's incorrect. This is exactly how multiprompts work. Colons separate your prompt into segments and the weights apply to the entire segment, irrespective of whether it's only a single word or an entire phrase.
