Mastering Midjourney v5.2 : A Deep Dive into the New Version! (Zoom, Vary, Shorten, Tips & Tricks!)

Man I went from zero knowledge to somewhat decent only after 3 videos. You have great skills in teaching!

Version 5.2 loves attractive white people. 😊

White always seems to be the default. racist as hell.

Really good vid...thanks! I especially like the part about MJ providing stats regarding how it recognizes words and provides weights for individual words. Just out of curiosity, do you know of a "list" of words (I know, it could be thousands of them) where we can identify those that MJ recognizes the most and assigns the highest weights? For instance, I like playing the fashion photography genre. Are there certain words, with weights that MJ recognizes more than others?

Oh yeah, why do you ask for a blue color palette? I just figured the blues and oranges are default. ?

Just watched two of your videos after finding this from browsing. So well presented, easy to understand and inspiring, actually. Cool.

Nice Superman photo 😂

Is it possible to make them in a 360 or 180 degree format to view in VR?

Stylize actually goes from 1 to 1,000. Try it, you'll see.

i'm confused on how you change the prompt on a Vary Command, I can't seem to do that

wooow, outpainting! finally.

All these features and no type of controlnet or training. Only so pretty the images can get. We need controlnet style consistency

Great info! When I hit the 'vary' it automatically changes the image i.e. I don't get the box to change anything (as you changed to 'forest atmosphere'). What am I doing wrong?

hello Sir, can you talk more about the available face swapping method to combine context changes with the Midjourney application? I see you can also combine other photo creation applications. he is very good. hope a response. I follow you from the other side of the world. ^^ . Thank you

The /shorten command lies by omission. Generate an image with 'by <Artist Name>' with an artist with a distinct style; say Jackson Pollock. There should be some evidence of Pollock's style. The same prompt with the /shorten command will provide 4 options whit no Artist Name and the artist name will not be in the tokens. In your example 6 artist are named in Leonard AI prompt you use they are ignored.

Don't faces seem a little stylized compared to an actual photo now? It's something about the skin texture. It may be smoother, different normals, or a lack of subsurface scattering, idk. To me, the skin texture definitely looks more like what you would see in a 3d model render that isn't detailed at an ultra-realistic pro level.
When you cranked --s 1000, I think some of the images had more realistic skin, but some still had the issues with the texture. idk. maybe it's just me.

Great content!

Is that a Schecter I see on the wall?

Very cool! How did you get your face on Superman body? I didn’t know we could upload. Thanks!

we need a video about Leonardo's new update: Alchemy

Fantastic thanks Tim

I find it pretty funny to run describe, then shorten on the prompts. I’m doing some experiments with it, chopping out any of the strikeout words and using the remaining words for a prompt and comparing them to describe prompt results.

I have to tell you I took studio art in High School and had a passion for art. Years went by and that part of me faded away. With all this new technolgy it awoken my passion again and I'm beyond addicted!! The fact that you can combine your skills with this "Magic" is mind blowing!

do you know how to make that Zoom animation effct?

what does --q2 mean?

Super impressive, I've had a lot of fun using the zoom out feature although it gets pretty funny after about 5 zooms! The shorten command got me excited as well while trying it but the results have varied - some images are very similar and sometimes not. Awesome update from the team, and thanks for the video too!

ok im sold with the outpainting. thats been one of my biggest gripes with ai images.

Not understanding how you put in the city image behind the bike with very(Strong) Can you elaborate how to do that and also how to put in forest atmosphere behind the bike? Thanks and really love your videos.

Resolution remains an emergency.

Subscribed. Great flow. Easier to follow along, pick up on new concepts, and fun. Thanks man!

midjourney does still have serious problems when u ask about realistic anime style,if u want a full body shot realistic style it comes with the same in all past versions,bad quality and resolution and also bad face features,in th eway i use it,i dont see any improvement so far :(

Could you pretty please do a video on how to blend the zoom outs like @lemoonsynth did? The feature is blowing my mind, but I can't figure out have to transition between the images like he did.

It almost feels like video generating the zoom outs. The way one sees consecutive zoom outs is really suggestive of a narrative taking place.

I hope they reduce the subscription price, there are competitors

Can’t wait to see you dive into Leonardo AI! Would also be interested in seeing you play around with Playground AI as well.

Hi, thank you for your video, fantastic as always, did you already saw the Midjourney animation option?

Thanks Tim, excellent info !

Looking forward to the Leonardo deep dive!

Nice overview man! I feel like your channel will pop off soon with the rising popularity of midjourney

TQ Tim for this wonderful vid. Can u consider to do a video about consistent character prompting tips with V5.2? Thank you

Great content, I really like the new features. But your flag emoji tip blew my mind. I had no idea 😅

Enjoyed the video, this helped explain a lot about the new stuff. Enjoyed the background music too, compliments the voice over

Midjourney is an 8 year old who's discovered it has a talent for drawing breasts, it is all it can do: Midjourney/ imagine a dog with a ball: skinny generic dog with breasts. Midjourney/ imagine a sports car: skinny generic sports car with breasts. Midjourney /imagine a handsome surfer under the ocean coming up for air with longboard: fat guy drowning wearing a business suit and skinny generic dolphin with breasts.

I really appreciate that you went for a Danish Instagram model 👌🏻Thanks 🇩🇰

I don't think InSite works with discord on the phone

Thanks Tim, a very useful review. I agree, zoom will help with character consistency. From a few rolls it does seem more realistic, even when going for watercolor images. Anyway, thanks again!

Think of the improvements from each previous version of MidJourney to the next, and what we've got even with just from 5.0 to 5.1 to 5.2 ... Can you imagine what version 6 will be like? They might've even figured out repeat characters by then!

The shorten is very interesting. It seems to ignore much from my long ChatGPT prompts

Thx for the great info, much appreciated.

Is there a relationship between 'high/low variation mode' & 'chaos' parameter?
