See Your Midjourney Creations Evolve: Creating Progress Videos

Have you ever wanted to show the creation process of your AI art? Midjourney offers a cool feature that lets you generate short progress videos of your images as they form. These videos are simple to make and provide a unique look at how your prompts turn into finished art. While there are a few things to consider, it's very easy to create these clips. Let's see how.

Generate Your First Midjourney Progress Video

Making a progress video in Midjourney starts just like any other image generation. You begin with a prompt, send it to Midjourney, and then add a special command. Here is the step-by-step process:

• <strong>Write Your Prompt:</strong> First, think of the art you want to create. Type your design idea into the Midjourney prompt bar.

• <strong>Add the Video Command:</strong> At the very end of your prompt, add ` --video`. So, your full prompt might look like: `/imagine a majestic forest path at sunset --video`

• <strong>Send Your Prompt:</strong> Press Enter and wait for Midjourney to generate your images.

• <strong>The Hidden Step (Envelope Reaction):</strong> Most times, the video won't appear right away. You need to add a reaction to your message. Find your message within the Discord chat. Hover over it.

• <strong>Add the Envelope Emoji:</strong> Click on the "Add Reaction" button (looks like a smiley face with a plus sign). A search bar will pop up. Type "envelope" and select the blank envelope emoji. It sometimes takes some scrolling to find the blank one.

• <strong>On Mobile:</strong> If you are on a phone, press and hold on your message. A menu will appear. Choose "Add Reaction" and scroll down to the "Objects" section to find the blank envelope emoji.

• <strong>Get Your Video:</strong> After adding the envelope reaction, Midjourney sends you a new message containing a link to your video. You can click this link to view or download your progress clip.

By default, these videos show all four initial image results evolving. If you want to see just one image, there is a simple trick.

Making art with Midjourney is fun, but managing many creations can be difficult. The Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT helps you organize and improve your workflow, letting you focus more on being creative and less on manual tasks. It is designed to make your Midjourney experience smoother.

Create a Progress Video with One Image

If you prefer a progress video that focuses on a single image variation, rather than all four, you can do this by adjusting the aspect ratio. Midjourney often produces fewer variations when the aspect ratio is very wide, leading to just one image. Here's how to do it:

• <strong>Choose Your Prompt:</strong> Decide on the art you want. For example: `/imagine a futuristic city skyline`

• <strong>Add Aspect Ratio:</strong> To get a single image, add a wide aspect ratio like ` --ar 16:9` to your prompt. The full prompt becomes: `/imagine a futuristic city skyline --ar 16:9`

• <strong>Add Video Command:</strong> At the end, add ` --video`. So, your complete prompt will be: `/imagine a futuristic city skyline --ar 16:9 --video`

• <strong>Send and React:</strong> Press Enter. Once the image is ready, follow the same envelope reaction step as before to get your video link. You will see a video showing only one image evolving.

This simple trick helps you make focus progress videos for specific pieces of art, giving you a better view of their creation.

Final Thoughts on Midjourney Progress Videos
