00:01.200 --> 00:03.780
-: Okay, and now let's use Midjourney.

00:03.780 --> 00:08.460
So we have Midjourney here, this is the Discord server.

00:08.460 --> 00:10.890
So it's kind of like Slack, if you've used that before.

00:10.890 --> 00:15.510
And Midjourney is actually like a pretty big server, right,

00:15.510 --> 00:19.080
like there's 1.3 million people online right now,

00:19.080 --> 00:19.913
13 million.

00:19.913 --> 00:21.870
When I started there was actually 800,000,

00:21.870 --> 00:25.770
so it kinda shows how much it's grown in just a few months.

00:25.770 --> 00:28.200
So the really cool thing about Midjourney,

00:28.200 --> 00:30.900
I think one of its strengths is that you can just see

00:30.900 --> 00:33.120
like what everyone is doing,

00:33.120 --> 00:36.270
and you can get a lot of inspiration from this, right.

00:36.270 --> 00:39.060
So you just kind of browsing through,

00:39.060 --> 00:40.890
kind of seeing these things at random,

00:40.890 --> 00:42.870
doing a lot of really cool stuff.

00:42.870 --> 00:47.870
And the way that you use Midjourney is

00:47.940 --> 00:50.250
you can kind of put it actually

00:50.250 --> 00:53.040
in the channel here.

00:53.040 --> 00:55.770
So, like that's what these guys are doing,

00:55.770 --> 01:00.770
but also you can talk to it directly in the direct messages.

01:01.860 --> 01:05.460
So here's a few examples of what I've done here,

01:05.460 --> 01:09.870
and I recommend doing it in the direct messages.

01:09.870 --> 01:13.713
This is when you pay for the bot, like you can do this.

01:14.700 --> 01:16.230
I think the free trial is in the channel,

01:16.230 --> 01:18.120
but it gets very messy,

01:18.120 --> 01:21.870
very hard to see exactly what everyone is doing

01:21.870 --> 01:24.810
because like you lose track of your painting in there

01:24.810 --> 01:25.920
is what I find.

01:25.920 --> 01:30.720
Okay, so I'm just gonna say, "Golden Gate Bridge" here,

01:30.720 --> 01:32.250
and then just hit enter.

01:32.250 --> 01:34.560
So all you really have to do to prompt

01:34.560 --> 01:37.110
is hit the slash and then imagine,

01:37.110 --> 01:39.030
and then you can type in your prompt,

01:39.030 --> 01:42.810
and then it's gonna generate like it's doing here,

01:42.810 --> 01:45.420
and then it will message you back when it's done.

01:45.420 --> 01:47.160
The really cool thing it does is,

01:47.160 --> 01:49.170
unlike a lot of diffusion models,

01:49.170 --> 01:51.330
you actually see the image as it's diffusing,

01:51.330 --> 01:52.163
which is kinda cool.

01:52.163 --> 01:54.960
So here it's starting with the Golden Gate Bridge,

01:54.960 --> 01:56.880
pretty recognizable straight away,

01:56.880 --> 02:00.000
and then it's just kind of getting better and better.

02:00.000 --> 02:02.220
And then I'm just gonna show

02:02.220 --> 02:04.500
a few of the kind of interesting things you can do here.

02:04.500 --> 02:07.110
So you can say, "Golden Gate Bridge,"

02:07.110 --> 02:11.697
and then you can say like, I don't know, "No clouds."

02:13.020 --> 02:14.940
So that's like a negative prompt,

02:14.940 --> 02:16.680
and what that'll do is kind of

02:16.680 --> 02:19.740
remove a lot of the clouds from here.

02:19.740 --> 02:24.740
You could also just say, "Golden Gate Bridge,"

02:26.430 --> 02:29.913
and then you say like, "By Van Gogh, by Picasso."

02:32.310 --> 02:34.410
And then you could say in terms of weighting

02:34.410 --> 02:39.030
you want 0.1 dash of Picasso

02:39.030 --> 02:43.590
and mostly Vincent Van Gogh with these weights here.

02:43.590 --> 02:45.570
So this is the double colon,

02:45.570 --> 02:48.450
and then if you just put double colon and then nothing

02:48.450 --> 02:49.800
the default is one.

02:49.800 --> 02:53.250
You could also do negative here as well,

02:53.250 --> 02:57.240
so you could say, "No clouds," and then,

03:00.360 --> 03:04.590
or you could just say, "Clouds" and then move on,

03:04.590 --> 03:06.750
so that's the same really as saying no clouds.

03:06.750 --> 03:08.970
So, we'll see what that looks like.

03:08.970 --> 03:10.290
So here, what do we have back?

03:10.290 --> 03:12.090
We have Golden Gate Bridge with no clouds.

03:12.090 --> 03:13.770
There we go, that's pretty cool.

03:13.770 --> 03:16.200
And it seems to like add this other thing in here.

03:16.200 --> 03:18.510
You could also say, "No writing," as well,

03:18.510 --> 03:20.280
that's another thing.

03:20.280 --> 03:21.627
So, let me just see.

03:21.627 --> 03:23.490
And one other thing you can do here,

03:23.490 --> 03:27.300
so you can actually upload images

03:27.300 --> 03:30.060
and then just paste the URL in here.

03:30.060 --> 03:35.060
So if I upload an image, so let's say, here we go,

03:35.790 --> 03:40.350
so this is like an image.

03:40.350 --> 03:42.840
It's just gonna take a little while to upload,

03:42.840 --> 03:44.940
like kind of a street style.

03:44.940 --> 03:49.380
You can basically just paste it to yourself, I think.

03:49.380 --> 03:51.900
Just waiting for this, yeah, here we go.

03:51.900 --> 03:55.260
So that now that's uploaded, I can just hit enter.

03:55.260 --> 03:56.100
It's not gonna do anything.

03:56.100 --> 03:58.650
It's not really messaging, but now I have this image,

03:58.650 --> 04:00.870
I can click copy link,

04:00.870 --> 04:02.310
and then I can use that in the prompt.

04:02.310 --> 04:06.960
So I can say, "Put the image first,"

04:06.960 --> 04:10.527
and then say, "Golden Gate Bridge,"

04:12.930 --> 04:14.100
and then kind of see,

04:14.100 --> 04:16.290
like maybe it'll kind of come up in this style.

04:16.290 --> 04:17.790
That'd be kind of interesting.

04:18.810 --> 04:19.643
What else could you do?

04:19.643 --> 04:22.110
Okay, yeah, I think that the other thing

04:22.110 --> 04:26.490
that's interesting about Midjourney is that you can,

04:26.490 --> 04:29.550
if you find something that you like, you can upscale it.

04:29.550 --> 04:32.370
So this one I really like,

04:32.370 --> 04:36.750
this one here in the third quadrant.

04:36.750 --> 04:39.630
So this is one, two, three, four, I like the third one.

04:39.630 --> 04:41.460
If I click upscale,

04:41.460 --> 04:44.850
then it's gonna generate a new version of that.

04:44.850 --> 04:46.950
You can also click variations,

04:46.950 --> 04:50.190
which I'll do in a second once I get this back.

04:50.190 --> 04:51.930
So you can generate more variations

04:51.930 --> 04:53.670
from one that looks right,

04:53.670 --> 04:56.160
but it's like not exactly the right style.

04:56.160 --> 04:59.733
So this is like kind of what I was hoping for more this one.

05:00.990 --> 05:04.050
So I'm gonna say, like variations V4,

05:04.050 --> 05:08.013
just kind of get more variations of that one.

05:09.210 --> 05:12.990
Then the other thing, this is just refreshed,

05:12.990 --> 05:16.800
so if you wanted some fresh variations

05:16.800 --> 05:18.570
with exactly the same prompt,

05:18.570 --> 05:20.730
you can do that there as well.

05:20.730 --> 05:24.750
So here we go, here's more variations of that same prompt.

05:24.750 --> 05:27.360
You can kind of click in, say, okay, this is the one I want,

05:27.360 --> 05:28.293
let's upscale it.

05:30.420 --> 05:32.549
And that is Midjourney.

05:32.549 --> 05:35.220
The key I think is,

05:35.220 --> 05:36.750
this is all like in your Discord,

05:36.750 --> 05:39.150
so it's kind of nice and easy to go back

05:39.150 --> 05:40.920
and search for different things.

05:40.920 --> 05:43.260
They also have like a website where you can go and search,

05:43.260 --> 05:45.240
and you sign in with Discord,

05:45.240 --> 05:47.130
and you can see all the community stuff.

05:47.130 --> 05:49.143
So I can show you that,

05:50.190 --> 05:51.300
oh, sorry,

05:51.300 --> 05:52.683
let's Midjourney,

05:55.440 --> 05:57.273
then click in here.

05:58.320 --> 06:01.170
And then this is like my group and you see all my history.

06:01.170 --> 06:03.900
You can search for different things, oldest, top,

06:03.900 --> 06:08.220
and then you can go explore and see the community feed.

06:08.220 --> 06:10.800
So, there's a lot of really good stuff in here.

06:10.800 --> 06:13.860
These are the stock images, and then you can click in here,

06:13.860 --> 06:17.310
you can see the actual prompt as well.

06:17.310 --> 06:20.850
So you could go and kind of use this,

06:20.850 --> 06:22.320
or you can see related ones.

06:22.320 --> 06:24.120
So like, these are quite similar.

06:24.120 --> 06:27.180
And you can use this for your own prompting,

06:27.180 --> 06:29.220
So I think that's like the real value of Midjourney

06:29.220 --> 06:32.910
and why it's been able to work really well,

06:32.910 --> 06:37.910
because so many of the community members

06:38.010 --> 06:39.900
are producing interesting things,

06:39.900 --> 06:43.140
and you can learn a lot just by playing around in here.

06:43.140 --> 06:45.960
Okay, cool, so yeah, check out Midjourney.

06:45.960 --> 06:46.793
It's a lot of fun.

06:46.793 --> 06:49.050
Very good for these fantasy style images,

06:49.050 --> 06:51.813
and there's a lot of flexibility here too.
