Step-by-Step Guide to Making Videos with Midjourney

Midjourney is no longer just for amazing images. It now lets you create engaging videos too. This guide shows you how to use Midjourney's video tools, step by step, to bring your ideas to life. You will learn about setting up your account, choosing a plan, and making your first video.

Getting Started with Midjourney

The first step is to get your Midjourney account ready. This process is simple and quick.

Account Setup

Go to midjourney.com and click 'Sign up'. You can sign up using your Google account for a fast process. If you have a Discord account, you can use that too. After signing up, you will see your Midjourney dashboard. Here, you can look at creations from other Midjourney users in the discover section. You also have a chat area on the left side.

Understanding Subscription Plans

To use Midjourney's features, including video, you will need a subscription. Here are the main plans:

• Basic Plan ($10/month): Offers limited creations, including 200 images each month, and one video creation at a time.

• Standard Plan ($30/month): Provides 15 hours of fast creation time and unlimited relaxed image creations. Relaxed means your image generates when the system is less busy, taking a bit longer but not using up your fast hours.

• Pro Plan ($60/month): Gives you 30 hours of fast creation time.

• Mega Plan ($120/month): For very frequent use.

Many users prefer the Standard Plan due to its unlimited relaxed image creations, which helps you make content without worrying about running out of credits. You also get a 20% discount if you choose yearly billing.

Connect Your Discord Account

Midjourney works well with Discord. If you did not sign up with Discord, you can still connect your Discord account later. Click on 'Connect Discord' from your Midjourney settings or log in via the Discord application. Allow the Midjourney bot to connect to your account. This link makes it easier to work with Midjourney.

As you start using Midjourney more, creating multiple images and videos, you might find managing everything a challenge. For help with organizing and scaling your creative process, check out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. It is a tool made to help you manage your designs and speed up your workflow.

Crafting Your Video in Midjourney

Once your account is set up, you are ready to make a video. Midjourney offers several options to control your video's look and feel.

Accessing the Creator Interface

On your Midjourney dashboard, go to the 'Create' section. Here, you can start a new project. Before you make your video, it helps to set up preferences.

Adjusting Settings for Your Video

In the settings area, you can change how Midjourney creates your visuals:

• Mode: Choose between standard mode and raw mode. Raw mode gives you more realistic images because it changes some of Midjourney's default style.

• Version: Select a version for the creation model, like version 6 or 7. For video, version 7 is a good choice.

• Speed: Pick between 'fast', 'relax', or 'turbo' to control how quickly your content is made.

• Stylization: This setting controls how much Midjourney's unique art style is applied. A high setting means a strong Midjourney look, while a low setting makes images appear more real. Decide what is best for your video.

From Text to Video: Your Creative Command

You begin by giving Midjourney a text prompt. For example, "a woman applying makeup." Midjourney will create images based on your words. These images can then become the base for your video. It is often a good idea to create an initial image first, rather than starting with a blank video frame, as it gives Midjourney a clear starting point.

Using a Starting Frame for Your Video

After Midjourney makes some images from your text prompt, you can pick one as your "starting frame." Download your chosen image. Then, in the video creation tool, upload this image. This image will be the first moment of your video.

Adding Motion and Scene Changes

With your starting frame chosen, decide what happens next. You can add a prompt like "the woman puts down her makeup brush and walks away." You can also set the 'motion' level in your settings. High motion will show more movement in the video. Then, submit your request. Midjourney will process your choices and create the video.

Making many videos might mean you need to keep track of your prompts, settings, and output. To simplify this and get the most out of your Midjourney experience, consider using the Midjourney Automation Suite. This tool can help you manage and scale your creative work easily.

Reviewing Your Generated Videos

Once Midjourney finishes, you will see a few video options. Look at each one carefully. Some might be very smooth and capture the idea well, while others might look less realistic. Pick the video that best meets your vision. You can always adjust your prompts or settings and try again if needed.

For teams or users with high volume needs, managing many creative projects can be complex. The Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT is made to help you automate and improve your Midjourney content creation, making your workflow smoother.

Conclusion

Making videos with Midjourney is a simple process once you get familiar with the steps. By signing up, picking a plan, setting your preferences, and giving clear prompts, you can create engaging video content. Experiment with different settings and prompts to find what works best for your projects. Keep exploring to see what amazing videos you can make.
