MidJourney -Getting Started [New & Updated] A quick tutorial to get you started in AI art generation 

WOW!!! After obsessively watching dozens of Midjourney videos, I struck the mother lode! This is THE best tutorial I've come across, so many nuggets of wisdom. Thank you!!

As a newbie to the whole Midjourney AI stuff, your video was *excellent* in clarifying many of the questions I had rolling around in my head. I was able to work along side of your tutorial and now I understand a LOT more than I did a half hour ago. Thank you!

Excellent tutorial! Thanks a lot for taking the time.

I like creating character portraits for fantasy RPG's and found someone's Midjourney generated portraits so I got interested, this seems really up my alley so thanks a lot!

Thank you so much for this!

Thanks, this really let me get up and running quickly!

Thank you so much for the detailed information... Keep that great work 👍

Great video and very informative.Thankyou Scott.

Such a great tutorial, thankyou.

Hi Scott can't tell you how happy I was that found you, I am NEWBYnewby my first time ever dealing with AI and art, so you understand that I was completely lost, and was disappointed not being able to achieve a image , am still trying to make my own avatar with a photo ,not there yet.Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you, All I can say is awesome, awesome, awesome

Excellent description and tutorial 🤯

very helpful, thank you!

Scott I am no artist in fact know little to nothing about your world, hope is oke I join your discord server, although I shall bring nothing to the table related to painting / drawing my passion and love is all about words and writing, no doubt that it is my elixir of live. See you soon . Kind regards

Excellent vid! Thank you. QUESTION: How do you avoid final images looking like 3D angled canvas wrapped?

Well done

Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much, just dabbling into MJ and this really helps a lot. Question: when you use private mode, is MJ still allowed to use your creations for advertisements/own purposes?

great video - very useful

This company has a plethora of opportunities to monetize the release of an older version of Midjourney, especially compared to the more advanced version that the developers are likely using. Particularly through the creation of subscription plans and the ability to control the speed at which images are generated. It is impressive to see the power and control they hold in this regard.

Midjourney is still in charge, but there is fierce competition, and I am like using Blue Willow because it is totally free to use

Perfect

thanks

Thanks

@Scott Detweiler Excellent tutorial. Have you or would you consider creating a tutorial which describes some of your favorite Stable Diffusion models and how to add those or other useful additional models to the Automatic1111 Stable Diffusion version of the user interface so that those non programmer type people like me (who followed your excellent tutorial on installing the AUTOMATIC1111 SD WebUI and successfully installed it) have other options in which to help create even better art than the standard pruned and pruned-emaonly models permit? Thanks for even considering this.

Please Sharing more video like this I think ai will take over the world in the next few years

Question. Sometimes I get a really good base in the 4 grid preview, however when I select the U version, it will change important details. Is there a way to select an image from the grid "as is" for download?

I ran myself right out of free credits in a matter of hours. Now I have to come up with a credit card to buy a subscription. So addictive.

Thanks Scott- great video- How do I find your discord server.

Super nice video! :) 1. So the "privete" setting keeps your images... private also from your Feed? No one can go to the website and find you and see your images you have not "published"? :=) 2. But what is the point of the Channels? Why would you not just create your art alone? 3. ANd what is the point of the walled off 5000+ channels? So more experienced people can chat and show there art or...?

I’m confused about credits. In all the plan info for the $30 plan, it doesn’t mention credits anywhere, just unlimited along with a certain number of fast renders that you automatically get with the option to purchase more. Are you talking about the $10 plan when you mention credits regarding the High quality at 2x cost? I have the $30 plan and I’ve used this option, but I have never received a warning about credits being used for it. I also just keep it on relaxed mode. Thank you for your videos, they have been very helpful.

Lovecraft fan? I've been wanting to use MJ to make some background cover art for my Lovecraftian book series.

SCOTT, a topic for you. In my MJ V4 I get a lot of the blank expressionless faces. Adding Smiling, or Happy, is too strong of an effect. What prompts do you use to change the faces expression "gently?"

Really good information. I find when I create an image and hit enter it disappears and I cant find it.

Thank you for this informative tutorial, I wasn't are I can just message the not instead of having to create an new server and add the bot to it.

How do you keep the same character in every image when creating an ebook? Thank you.

When I click on the "make variations" button it turns blue, but nothing else happens to indicate that I can specify any descriptive text for the variations. The text field at the bottom remains as just a forward slash, so I don't know if that enables the "make variations" mode or not.

is this all for free use or is it have to be paid? because i am stuck at the /imagine command, saying "Free trial users are not allowed to DM the Midjourney Bot. You can upgrade to a paid plan to do so"

How do you get it on discord though? When I type it in nothing comes up.

Hi and thank you for this very informative video. I'm a newbie. When I try to message the Midjourney Bot I get a message that says I can't message it. I've subscribed to the $30 plan. What am I doing wrong?

360p? Am I that early?

Can you upload an existing image, say of a picture you took or an image originally created / modified in Photo Shop and have Midjourney iterativeley modify / enhance / change it into something new? Brand new to Midjourney and am now getting familiar with it for the very first time. Thanks Originally heard about it from Sean Worthington (cloudcoin) on Coast to Coast AM radio a few nights ago who was talking about AI trends. Thanks again. Looks very interesting.

Hey Scott can you do a video how to create your own server on discord after subscribing to MJ?

unless i messed it, i make something but i can not get it to remake that same thing! like i accidentally created with comic panels, cant get it to make same image without the panels its a whole different look

Where is the link to the list of artists you mentioned?

Hi Scott. I came across your video after hunting all day for a solution to my problem with no luck. I’ve tried the support group on Midjourney too but no response. I’ve lost the icon on the top left of the page that looks like a blue and white bot that I used to click on and then on the Midjourney icon which would take me to my page with all the art I’ve created and the chat box at the bottom for entering my prompt. In place of the bot icon I now have a friend icon. How do I get back to my page? I’m a paid subscriber and have tried logging in and out of both Discord and Midjourney. I’m clearly doing something wrong but what?

Quick Question, how does it know what "Bladerunner" or who "Superman" is? is it pulling that information from the Web? Like could I have it look for me (I have a pretty uncommon name) and do weird selfies?

How to stop a previous prompt from appearing at the end of a new promt? Help, please!

I keep trying to get a full guitar in mid journey but I can't. I only get the body same with people. How do I get full view?

Fantastic. Now if we can all just settle down, pick an appropriate job, let the robots do the mundane work, stop the confusion and head into a better world, thanks. 🖖

I just joined Discord but can't figure out how to access midjourney, duh.

How do you delete an image?

i wished i could subscribe thru paypal, because i dont have visa or a mastercard.. the trial ended before i could understand it a bit but still thanks for this :)

A rabbit with a hat? Can I add a bat, and a 64 Impala? 😀

Does it work with mobile?

No audio in this video

am lost . Just started today

No sound

Nice vid...informative and easy to follow. Your comment regarding, not being able to produce your exact vision, I might disagree with though. Which words you chose to use and the placement of them in the prompt string matter, AND make a huge difference...so far, what I've imagined, I've been able to manifest. Not sure how the "imagine prompt" works in other languages, but if you have a decent command of the English language and a knack for being able to describe your idea, you should be able to get fairly close to what you're wanting to create. P.S...I subbed.

Anyone know if there's a trial? I don't wanna pay 30/month for this shit.

no audio..weird - audio in other channels is fine..

no relationship between your comments and the website

A total newbie and I find it over the top confusing and high maintenance. I would much rather use the application as a standalone app, but not using a chatbot. I am so far not impressed. The developers obviously have too much time on their hands. On a sidebar, if I was depending on this application to generate high quality images for my business, it would be time consuming and come up short. Hopefully something with more accuracy and efficiency is in the works. I can't envision paying for this and wasting many hours trying to achieve success. Just my take. Keep churning away and someday you'll get there.

I absolutely abhor Discord

Very frustrating user interface - what a mess

A video on getting started in the life of crime by stealing other artists art work. You can never start too young. By the time you are 18, you will be breaking into national museums, putting your name on all the Davinci's and Monets and selling them on Ebay for $50.

30 min. Video. I don't have the time!!!

Hello. Newby here. I paid for a subscription on midjourney using my new email-I had an older discord account with my old email that I was planning to update-but find I am unable to access paid midjourney account as new email/discord account,I guess, unaccessible(?)/not linked. I’ve tried everything-reached out to discord and midjourney. Useless. Do you have any idea how I can tackle this problem? I’m beyond frustrated. I’m trying to avoid deleting my discord/old email-not sure that would solve the problem anyway. Thanks for your time Shawn

I would like to WARN everyone that MIDJOURNEY no longer has a trial version. Also if you SUSCRIBE your subscription may never be activated because the subscription section is run by volunteers. The subscription is for 1 YEAR even if it gives you the feeling that it is a monthly subscription - MISLEADING! And if you - like me - are trying to find out why the software is not working, a few hours you will find thousands of post with people with the same problem online, but no Customer Support because it's only available for MEMBERS!!!! So if your subscription after paying having been actives then you will never be able to let them know about!!! I just spent a whole working day trying to generate 1 single image . NEVER HAPPENED! The whole process left me exhausted mentally and anxious. Funny it's mental health week 😂. So only subscribe if you like like to bet.
