In this lecture, you'll learn exactly how we're going to learn Midjourney from the ground up through a complete, step-by-step journey. We'll cover everything from setting up your account and understanding plans and credits to mastering prompts, image settings, generation modes, and creative workflows. You'll also explore image editing, variations, upscaling, video features, and advanced techniques that help you create professional-quality AI content with confidence. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of the full Midjourney ecosystem and how to use its tools effectively for your own projects.
In this lecture, you'll learn how to get started with Midjourney by creating an account and gaining access to the platform. We'll walk through the available subscription plans, explain the differences between them, and help you choose the option that best fits your needs and budget. You'll also learn how credits, usage limits, and plan features work so you can confidently begin creating with Midjourney.
In this lecture, you'll get familiar with the Midjourney workspace, layout, and core interface elements. We'll explore where the different menus, settings, and controls are available in the Midjourney web-based experience, helping you navigate the platform with confidence. By the end of this lesson, you'll understand where to access key tools, manage your generations, and streamline your creative workflow in Midjourney ready for creating.
n this lecture, we'll explore what makes an effective Midjourney prompt by examining Midjourney's official documentation and best-practice guidance. You'll learn the key elements that influence image generation, including subject, style, composition, lighting and more. We’ll then use a Large Language Model (LLM) to transform these guidelines into high-quality, structured prompts, helping you generate more consistent and professional results while saving time in the creative process.
In this lecture, you'll learn how to configure Midjourney's settings and creative controls to achieve specific visual results. We'll cover essential options such as aspect ratio, model selection, stylization, weirdness, quality settings, and other key parameters that influence image generation. Through practical examples and side-by-side comparisons, you'll see exactly how each setting affects the final image, enabling you to make informed creative decisions and fine-tune your outputs with confidence.
In this lecture, you'll discover how to refine and expand your Midjourney creations using the platform's powerful Creator Actions. We'll explore tools such as Vary, Zoom Out, Pan, Upscale and image editing features, showing you how each option can transform and improve your results. Through practical demonstrations and real-world examples, you'll learn when and why to use these actions to iterate on ideas, extend compositions, and achieve more polished and creative final images.
In this lecture, you'll learn how to guide Midjourney more precisely using Style References, Image References, and Omni References. We'll explore how each reference type influences the generation process, from matching the visual aesthetic of an existing image to maintaining character consistency and combining multiple creative influences. Through practical examples, you'll see how to leverage references effectively to create more controlled, consistent, and professional-quality results across your projects.
In this lecture, you'll learn how to use Midjourney's Edit tab to make targeted changes to your generated images. We'll explore how to remove unwanted elements, replace objects, add new content, and modify specific areas of an image using the built-in editing tools. Through hands-on examples, you'll see how to make precise adjustments while preserving the overall style and composition, giving you greater control over your final results without having to start from scratch.
In this lecture, you'll learn how to bring your Midjourney images to life using the platform's video generation features. We'll explore how to create animations from static images, prompt to control motion in manual animation, and generate amazing video (and extend shots). Through practical examples, you'll discover how to produce professional-quality videos directly within the Midjourney workflow.
In this practical mini-project lecture, you'll see me apply the skills learned throughout the course to create a simple five-shot product commercial from start to finish. Using Omni Reference to maintain product consistency, we'll generate a series of images, place our product into different scenes, and then animate those visuals into a short commercial sequence.
In this mini-project lecture, you'll see me create a very short simple fictional sequence using a simple text-to-image-to-video workflow in Midjourney. Starting with only text prompts, we'll generate a set of story images, then refine them into a short animated sequence using the video tools. While Omni Reference is not used here (though it would improve character and visual consistency, you should), this exercise focuses on building narrative flow through prompting and motion. By the end, you'll understand how to quickly turn a basic idea into a visual story.
