Midjourney Control for Beginners & Advanced Users! (Every Command!)

[@Photuwali]

Love the simplicity of explanation - It's a really an in depth explanation that serves as introduction to commands in Mid Journey.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

So happy to hear! For me, it also serves as a nice little cheat sheet to remember all those commands!

[@UnSortedGirl]

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.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Oh, those are AMAZING tips! I'm going to have to try that!! Thanks for the heads up!!

[@JoellaBower]

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!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

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!

[@JoellaBower]

@@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 :)

[@KnotsUntied]

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

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

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!

[@pause-play-rule]

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

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.

[@HolyGround777]

The Midjourney toast really be hitting different XD Thank you for these super straight to the point educational videos Tim!

[@micbab-vg2mu]

Thank you for info my most common used -- : --ar 16:9 --s 400 --c 40

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

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!

[@mephistopolice]

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.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

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!

[@JoyfulEclecticWoman]

So informative and helpful! Thank you!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

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!

[@CreativePunk5555]

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?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

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!

[@CreativePunk5555]

@@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.

[@AInomaly600]

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

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Ha! And apparently Runway just announced $90/month for unlimited video? I think that’s crazy high…

[@madtical777]

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?

[@rdvizstudio]

Sir, can't we create a video of an upscaled image ?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I don’t believe so, since it is like a cake that has already been baked.

[@weldmaster80]

is there any way to get no background? I've not found anything that works WELL for that

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnaXmJ54f7mHg80

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

Yeah, working on it. I'm trying to find a sweet spot for it now. I think I might have it dialed in.

[@iichikun8189]

--niji for anime style artwork anyone knows another command like this?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

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!

[@badmaus]

I feel like the video command could be used for something like the "SECRET INVASION" title sequence.
