How to make video from Midjourney [Aspect Ratio settings]
TLDRThis video tutorial demonstrates how to create video clips from Midjourney AI bot, showcasing the transition of generating an image into a short video clip. It discusses aspect ratio settings crucial for video editing and social media content, explaining the importance of matching video dimensions to device screens. The video guides viewers on using the '--AR width:height' command in Midjourney prompts for aspect ratio customization and the '--video' parameter for generating video clips, noting compatibility with specific Midjourney versions.
Takeaways
- 🎥 The video demonstrates how to generate video clips from the Midjourney AI bot, which can be useful for video editing or social media content creation.
- 📐 The importance of aspect ratio in video creation is discussed, highlighting how it affects the display on different devices.
- 📱 Aspect ratio ensures that videos fit properly on screens without the need for cropping, which can result in loss of image content.
- 📺 Historical context is provided on how aspect ratios have evolved with the development of TV screens from the 1940s to modern ultra-wide cinema screens.
- 🔢 The Midjourney function to set the aspect ratio is introduced as '--AR width:height', with a default setting of 1:1 for square images.
- 🖼️ An example is given where the same text prompt generates different image sizes based on the aspect ratio used, showcasing the impact of aspect ratio settings.
- 📹 The video parameter in Midjourney is explained as '--videos', but it's noted that it only works with version 1.2.3 and on grids, not on upscale.
- 🔧 Despite setting the aspect ratio, the video generation does not always respect the configured dimensions, as seen with the 16:9 ratio not being applied correctly.
- 🆕 It's mentioned that in newer versions of Midjourney, the aspect ratio parameter has been improved, and it can be configured to any size.
- 📚 The video concludes with a reference to the Midjourney guide for further information and an anticipation for updates that will improve video parameter functionality.
Q & A
What is the main topic of the video?
-The main topic of the video is how to generate video clips from the Midjourney AI bot, which records the transition of generating an image within a video clip.
Why is aspect ratio important in video creation?
-Aspect ratio is important because it defines the relationship between the width and height of a video, allowing it to adapt to different devices like TVs, smartphones, or monitors without losing image portions or displaying black bars.
What is the default aspect ratio setting in Midjourney AI bot?
-The default aspect ratio setting in the Midjourney AI bot is 1:1, which generates square-shaped images.
How can you set the aspect ratio in Midjourney?
-You can set the aspect ratio in Midjourney by using the function '--AR width:height' in the prompt.
What are some common aspect ratios used in video production?
-Some common aspect ratios used in video production include 4:3, 16:9, and 21:9.
How does the video format differ when viewed on a smartphone versus a TV?
-When viewed on a smartphone, square-shaped photos may display with black bars above and below if in vertical position or with sidebars if horizontal. On a TV with a horizontal screen, the photo or video format may appear differently if it does not match the screen format.
What parameter is used to generate videos in Midjourney?
-The parameter used to generate videos in Midjourney is '--videos'.
What versions of Midjourney support the video generation parameter?
-The video generation parameter works with version 1.2.3 test and test also, but it only works on grids and not on upscale.
How can you download the video generated by Midjourney?
-You can download the video by clicking on the first add reaction icon at the top right and selecting the envelope icon, which provides the link to download the video.
What are the limitations mentioned in the video regarding the aspect ratio parameter in Midjourney?
-In the test and test photo versions of Midjourney, the aspect ratio can be configured from 3:2 to 2:3. In version 3, the ratio goes from 5:4 to 2:5. The parameter has been greatly improved in version 5, allowing configuration to any aspect ratio size.
What is the advice given for future updates regarding video generation in Midjourney?
-The advice is to wait for the Midjourney developers to implement the video parameter with new versions updates, as the video mentions that updates to this feature will follow.
Outlines
🎥 Aspect Ratio in Video Creation
This paragraph introduces the concept of aspect ratio in video production, emphasizing its importance for adapting video dimensions to various devices like televisions and smartphones. It explains how aspect ratio avoids black bars appearing on the sides of the video when played on devices with different screen formats. The speaker discusses the evolution of television screens and how video products have adapted to these changes. The default aspect ratio set by the mid-journey AI bot is one to one, resulting in square images. The paragraph concludes with an example of generating square images using the AI bot without specifying an aspect ratio, leading to four identical outputs.
📹 Generating Videos with Mid-Journey AI Bot
The second paragraph delves into the process of generating videos using the mid-journey AI bot. It describes how to use the 'less less videos' parameter in the prompt to create videos, noting that it only works with specific versions of the AI bot. The speaker attempts to generate a video with a 16:9 aspect ratio but encounters issues where the AI bot does not respect the parameter, resulting in videos with black bars. The paragraph also mentions that in newer versions of the AI bot, the aspect ratio parameter has been improved, allowing for more flexibility. The speaker expresses anticipation for future updates that will better implement the video parameter, concluding with a thank you to the viewers.
