hi welcome to teachers Tech my name is Jamie and it's great to have you here today I'm going to
show you how to use midjourney for beginners so if you've never heard of mid-journey before
what it is you're able to write in a prompt so describe something and hit enter and it's
going to give you back images so this is done from text to images by AI here so midJourney
makes it pretty simple to do this and it's just more than just images too so you could use this
to create logos you could create posters with this you could create website mock-ups there's really
an endless amount of things it's you're going to be limited by your imagination of what you can
create and you can see as I scroll through this all of everybody's imagination taken from text
and put into all these images so today on teacher stack I want to show you the seven steps to get
started with mid Journey so you can start taking your text and putting it into images foreign
so step one if you've never used mid-journey before and you don't have an account you need
to create an account and to do this where you need to go is midjourney.com I'll put the link
Down Below in the description so you can click on it and get to the page where I am you're going to
need to join the beta here so we're going to click on join the beta because you need to join the
Discord on it so I'm going to go ahead and just hit continue to Discord right here you are going
to need to make an account now I already have an account but you're going to need to register for
a Discord account you can see on this one I can go ahead and register here and I can also scan
with Discord mobile app to login instantly this way so if you don't have an account make sure
you hit pause go and register and then we'll get signed in so I'm just using the free account for
Mid Journey which allows me 25 images you can pay for subscriptions and get more or if you want to
do it that way but I've just been using the free one now I'm logged in to Discord you probably got
some emails or when you logged in there'd be some invitations if you don't see mid-journey
right here so this is going to be the server that we want to make sure we're part of and we have
this here if you don't see that you can go ahead and add the server we could hit join a server if
there was an invitation link they sent you if you don't have an invite you can see how you go
through and look and you can search mid Journeys right at the top here and then you can kind of
go through this way but we need to make sure we have mid-journey as per one of the servers that
we're a part of here so make sure you accept the invites also that you get or else you're not going
to get all the functions of even being inside here so now we've got our Discord server part of
it we're inside mid Journey here what's the next step so step two is you need to find a newbies
channel so here I have them right here so I have a few different ones I'll just select this one
right here then I'm already in these won't show up unless you've accepted the terms of service so
you'll probably see something if your first time logging in the TOs and you have to make sure you
accept it to see these brooms so now let's move on to step three and that's going to be just to
use the Imagine command so where do we put this so down the very bottom we just click in this where
we're going to add the prompt and we're just going to do forward slash and we're going to
start typing imagine and even as I start typing it you can see that it's I could just click on
this I don't even have to type the whole thing so I'll just click on it this is where my prompt is
now I'm going to just write something that I want so I'm going to go ahead and just write a bunny
playing a flaming saxophone so something random just like this and I'm just going to go ahead and
hit enter now this is where it can get a little confusing sometimes is trying to find where your
image will be and what you need to do is I just keep scrolling down and you'll see it it's kind
of in a queue so there's an order of how busy it's going to be with mid Journey here and it's
going to be waiting to get created so you do have to just kind of scroll down towards the
bottom and wait for yours to appear and this can take sometimes it's quick and depending on how
busy this the server is and other times it can take a bit and can be a little confusing to find
so let's go ahead and just wait for it and I can see right there that was pretty quick I have these
different images right here and notice that when mine comes up it has this yellow line to help kind
of identify of of it so now what's the next step I can do you can see I can click on this and I get
four different images right here but now I can kind of select one of those and upscale them so
before I move on to the next app I just want to point out the community guidelines here because
I think it's important that everybody knows and follow here I'm not going to read through them
but I will post this as a link down below so you can check this out and making sure that you stay
in the parameters of the community guidelines step number five and notice it seems like if
I've skipped one it's because step number four was actually the processing to get to this step
number five allows me to choose one of these and upscale it or choose one of them and make a slight
variation so you can see right here we have V so this would be a variation to number one variation
to number two variation to number three or four so that's how they're numbered now if I just want
to go ahead and if I like one of these I can go ahead and choose so maybe I like number two here
I could select U2 and notice how it turns blue and then I can go ahead and refresh it and it's going
to create an upscale of that one that I've chosen so just go ahead and choose that and then it will
be in the queue again to get created and we'll just wait for that and let's see the finished
result so now I scroll down a little bit again and you can see here is the one that I created and I
upscaled it I can make variations again I'm on this so This creates a variation of the upscaled
image and generates a new grid of four options I can do an upscale redo here and also the beta
1 where I could bring it to the web and we have some places where we can rate it right here with
these different emojis but let's say if we like our finished one we want to go ahead and open it
up what I usually do is I just click on it and you could do a larger upscale one but you can open it
up again in browser so if I open it up here now this is where I can just right click on this and
save this as an image so if I go ahead and save this as an image I can save it to my other ones
I could rename it hit save and it saves down to my computer and I can I use it how I wish at that
point and then if I go back over to the server if I just click off of this again you can see
where if I wanted to make those variations now something I want to point out is that I usually
use the Discord server on my computer so if you don't have it installed you can download the app
I find it works a little bit better than using it online how I've been doing so I would suggest
download the App log in and as I said it just works a little bit better I'm using the free one
here also so if you're looking at creating lots of images go ahead the other thing I would point
out is start reading other people's to see the description that they're putting into these to
learn of what you can write and how you can learn because you can use things like even with camera
with lighting types of lenses and the more you learn the language of how to be descriptive when
you write the better the images will be so I hope you like this intro on how to use mid-journey how
to create these Graphics using AI just from simple text let me know if you use this when you do use
it uh just let me know down in the comments and if you're looking for other AI I'll put a link
to my chat GPT video to where I give examples of some great ways that you can use it thanks
for watching this time on teachers Tech I'll see you next time with more Tech tips and tutorials
