[@FutureTechPilot]

Hey everyone, happy new year! Here are some extra videos to help you out on things I missed: Subscriptions - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmnPaIiAjrRnq5Y Downloading Pictures - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6S0nWSkmZmUrM0 Adding Text - kzbin.info/www/bejne/noHZeIWBntGhjJo & I forgot to say that you can write your aspect ratio with '--ar #:#' in your prompt Hope that helps, Nolan

[@thewebstylist]

This amazing video should be showcased for anyone first signing up w Midjourney so they can fast track to mastery!

[@FutureTechPilot]

haha I appreciate the support!

[@Jidandk]

First long video on KZbin where I actually watched every minute. Been around MJ since start, and you sure add to the community!

[@FutureTechPilot]

I put a lot of work into this video so I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@frankstone]

You are my go-to for all Midjourney. Thank You.

[@FutureTechPilot]

And thank you for taking the time to comment!

[@joewilmot]

I spent ALL DAY coming up with a cover for my book by meandering aimlessly. Had I watched this video I may have done it in an hour. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Well I'm really glad to hear that and I hope it turns out well!!

[@fthyagobrito]

Thank you very much for this guide. As a complete beginner it helped me A LOT not only to start creating images but to understand how it works in general. Thank you!

[@FutureTechPilot]

I'm really happy to hear that!

[@pixelPNGstudio]

I avoided using Midjourney until now because it feels so powerfully complicated. Now, I have an annual subscription, and it is my #1 choice. Thank you for this video. It is even more versatile than I thought it was

[@FutureTechPilot]

Hey I'm glad to hear that!

[@gregorytzar]

The basics of prompting were so helpful, even beyond midjourney. Thanks for not making any assumptions and staying true to this being an actual beginners guide. Alot of other creators creating similar "beginners" guides demonstrate a strong curse of knowledge bias. Your teaching videos are very well structured.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Well I'm happy to hear you say that, and I'm really glad I could help out!

[@gregorytzar]

@@FutureTechPilot I decided to go all in on midjourney after this, and I'll definitely keep an eye on your programs. Teaching is common but good teachers are rare.

[@ruthgwerder825]

Thank you so much for this great video! For me as a beginner there are so many tips and tricks I can use 🤗

[@FutureTechPilot]

I'm happy to hear that!

[@ПетрБрюсов-в3б]

Super useful! Thank you a lot!!!

[@FutureTechPilot]

Cheers!!

[@HenryETaylor]

Thanks Nolan! Awesome summary of the most important features!

[@FutureTechPilot]

Cheers pal!

[@ElliotCollins-f1i]

You are a legend sir! Incredibly valuable advice explained in a very concise and easy to understand manner. As someone who is using it in my own project it's more than I could wish for. 😊

[@FutureTechPilot]

Well I'm really happy to hear that!

[@CM-zl2jw]

And this IS the mid journey video I been hoping for. 🙏. Thanks so much Nolan. Happy New Year. 😊

[@FutureTechPilot]

[@FutureTechPilot]

Hey I'm glad I could help out!!

[@ArielBrito82]

Your content is great!😊

[@FutureTechPilot]

well thanks for the kind words!

[@creativeaishow]

Although beginner-level, I learned a few new tips. Thanks!

[@FutureTechPilot]

[@j.r.5345]

Thanks, it was helpful. Your passion and energy is amazing.

[@FutureTechPilot]

I'm happy to hear that!

[@БлискавичнаФей]

Awesome summary! Thanks! ❤

[@FutureTechPilot]

Cheers!

[@armondtanz]

Hope they put out their big plans this year, they got a lot of competition now so they best up their game .... Heres to 3d (panning around a character or object), video, controlnet.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Cheers to that!

[@kelvinmurray1582]

really great video...thank you and please keep up the fantastic work

[@FutureTechPilot]

I'm glad I could help!

[@heatherhamiltonsenter4006]

I like the updates!

[@greenmountain2355]

Fantastic video, well done man!!! Make more videos like this and ask people to like your videos I don't think you have... Anyway it is a great video just wanted to say that to you! Thank you very much really appreciated!

[@FutureTechPilot]

haha I always forget to do that! But I really appreciate your reminder and support

[@killjoythunderbolt]

This was a masterclass. Liked, shared and subscribed even though you didn't ask or didn't have to ask.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Well I really appreciate your support!!

[@lexi3449]

This was incredible thank you

25:36 leaving a note for myself very important … this is why my editing didn’t work sometimes…so I have to write the prompt and describe the entire thing

[@FutureTechPilot]

Exactly!

[@alwaysinout]

This is very helpful .... Thanks

Thank you !

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

Whoa!!! That is a lot of information! TFS!!!

[@FutureTechPilot]

haha I Hope it helps!

[@SvenJohnson-c4m]

Hi Nolan, absolutely great overall intro to MidJourney, I am so very appreciative! In one single video you've addressed all my major questions after 6 months of casual beginner-level use and probably tripled or more my proficiency and understanding of the major control factors. Quick question, in several examples you place "unsplash" at the end of the prompt. Can I ask you, what is that for? Cheers and thanks from NYC!

[@FutureTechPilot]

Well I'm happy to hear that I have helped you out! And 'unsplash' is just a trigger word for a certain style of images. It's actually the name of a stock photography website that has a really professional and cinematic vibe. So in Midjourney, unsplash helps set the tone for a style I like without needing to write a bunch of extra words

[@crazybadd]

I agree with all positive comments in here! Very helpful, thank you 🙏 What are your PC specs?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Thanks for the support! And I use a M3 MacBook Pro - geni.us/Enn3L - that model on Amazon

[@MeganHarris-f7j]

This was all very helpful info before diving into Midjourney. I plan on making some creative images through Midjourney, but also was very interested in changing the style of my own photos with some of the wild stuff Midjourney could offer but using the subject from my photos. Wanting the subjects to look as close as possible to the photo I'm providing, but you mentioned Midjourney doesn't do that very well, at least so far. What would be an image generating platform that could do that very well? Not looking for Photoshop to edit photos, but something that can change a style of a photo.

[@FutureTechPilot]

a place like www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/ should be able to help you out

[@abdallaalmidfa7345]

Hi Nolan, This is a great video, is your course taught this way ?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Similar for sure! But even a bit slower, way more structured

[@myrsinivak6993]

Really amazing video, thank you so much! Just one comment - consider shrinking your video icon - it takes a lot of screen space 😅

[@FutureTechPilot]

haha my face?? it's hard to frame the Midjourney website, Discord was definitely way better for showcasing the pictures

[@myrsinivak6993]

@@FutureTechPilot yeah - I meant your face :)

[@Sn-li1nh]

wow this vid saved me tons of time!! Thanks so much. Can we see more of tips on AI video tools as well as Midjorney? Subscribed! Which subscription should I purchase? I'm a creative

[@FutureTechPilot]

Thank you for asking about Video tools! I'll try to keep that in mind

[@shortainonsense]

Please do a video about creating similar styles. Imagine creating similar looking scenes for a movie. Lightning and mood. Thing I’ve tried it all but I can’t get them to look consistent.

[@FutureTechPilot]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpqrqoZrj7h-qck - this video might help with that!

[@claudetrew3922]

So much to learn but thank you for a very interesting video. I am not a total beginner but have still a long way to go. Is your course for just a beginner?

[@FutureTechPilot]

I call it a beginners course but it's extremely comprehensive! Literally everything I know about every feature lol but the reason it's 30% off right now is because I'll be updating it once Version 7 comes out

[@miltonperez2907]

Thank you for the information, I would like to ask you a question. Do you think it is possible to create a comic using this tool, that is, to be able to maintain consistency between the characters, and I am curious, do you know if the version used in the United States is different from the one in South America? I ask because I don't live in North America, blessings 🙏

[@FutureTechPilot]

Not right now! But we are super close. Maybe Version 7 will be better

[@karoylecolbert7734]

I thought the sale was until MJ 7 comes out. I'm interested in taking the course.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yes I'm sorry!! I updated the code and now it's 30% off - ftpai.thinkific.com/courses/mjbeginner?coupon=ftp30

[@chabs156]

Happy New year. This looks like something I can get into this year :) ... Has the coupon code for the course expired?

[@FutureTechPilot]

I apologize for the confusion! I've updated the code and now it's 30% off! Sorry again - ftpai.thinkific.com/courses/mjbeginner?coupon=ftp30

[@chabs156]

@@FutureTechPilot Perfect - works a treat. Thank you.

[@PIOT23]

Thanks for sharing! What’s your take (and anyone else’s take), on creating realistic video clips?….say for example, two people sitting at a park bench arguing over something? Is it midjourney + sora? Is it some other combo of tools?

[@FutureTechPilot]

MJ + any video generator but all video generators will probably leave you frustrated

[@PIOT23]

@ lol thanks

[@maguedesigns1146]

Hi, does the course include how to create consistent characters in different settings? Thank you

[@FutureTechPilot]

There is a chapter on Character Reference but I don't know if Midjourney is capable of doing what you're looking for - you should watch this video first - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJi0q5VtjpmYbZY - lots of free tips in there for you!

[@maguedesigns1146]

@FutureTechPilot alright, will do. Thank you very much.

[@raztube90]

36:27 only stuff you creat is public but the stuff you edit in the full editor is private

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yah good point!!

[@sorinucu]

I follow your videos with interest, and I feel that you might be able to give me a clear answer to the following situation: I want to provide several photos of myself to an AI to train it so that it creates a super realistic image of me on the platform of an Indian railway station, dressed in traditional attire, about to board a train, with locals in authentic clothing in the background. Which AI do you recommend?

[@FutureTechPilot]

I suggest asking for help over on the Stable Diffusion subreddit -> www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/

[@cyborgar15]

My Upscale shows x2 and x4 not subtle and creative..where are those?

[@FutureTechPilot]

2x and 4x were available in Version 5 ... Subtle and Creative are the Version 6 upscalers

[@dorotawojcik4247]

If I pay for stealth mode (private) and after one year I decide to stop using the Midjourney are the photos are still private or they will be visible for everyone?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Good question, I guess I don't know for sure, but I think they would stay private.

[@aizazali6691]

no midjourney discount sub link provided :(

[@bsampa100]

Where can we locate the "seed"?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yah I should have shown you! Click on an image, then beside the download button on the left side is another button that give you some options. One will be 'copy' - click on that - then click 'seed' - now hit paste on your keyboard (ctrl/cmd+v) in the prompt box and that will be your seed #

[@cyklzycia8814]

But it will take my prompt credits instead of using only one good promot

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yah you're right, if you can write long prompts from the start, go for it!

[@ChrisVideoNet]

Style Raw vs Style 0?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Try using both!

[@SummerSoPretty]

Hi so why are we getting banned lately especially when we are not even generating anything bad I asked for a y2k style and got a 24 hour banned

[@FutureTechPilot]

I really don't know!

[@jamiestewart4087]

Maybe because y2k is a musical artist?

[@LouisGedo]

👋 hi

[@FutureTechPilot]

🤝 happy new year!

[@katalincsiszar5770]

Did we miss the part where Midjourney is NOT free and you need to buy a plan to even try it?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yah sorry for not mentioning that at the start!

[@pixels6693]

can I get midjourney free?

[@FutureTechPilot]

No they don't have any free trial at the moment!
