Midjourney leapfrogs Back to its No1 position in the AI Art scene. Nolan remains at his No1 position of producing the most comprehensive Midjourney tutorials available on TH-cam 🙏👊🔥
Hi. The best Channel about Midjourney in TH-cam. Let's hope it continues to grow and soon reaches 100,000 subscribers. From my side I will recommend it
❤MJ releasing model personalization. Get at least 200 image ratings and then add --p after your prompt. Personalization completely changes the way system interprets your prompts.
Love it! I wrote a prompt as I was watching along with this video and ended up having the perfect dada, dada dada dada dada, daDA prompt written with all your instructions. Thank you so much for this and making it so easy to understand with that technique.
AWESOME video! The fact that you approached it from a rhythm point of view is not just creative and rare but also pretty darned accurate. Once I started using the 'v6 language, ' it was insane what I could get. Clarinet is _so_ incredibly helpful, it's unreal. I had started looking at it as bookmarks with books in between. Keep adding to the books until it stops recognizing. Great video. Very, very helpful. I was beginning to have Nolan withdrawal! lol
haha I'm glad people are connecting with the video. I really wasn't sure what the reception would be like. As always, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I'm so thankful Clarinet and their team took the time to write those guides 🤝🤙
Thanks, again and well done. As I was watching your video I was visualizing a traditional vertical list format to learn the new prompting--like a grocery list with number two being the main course. Once again, MJ and FTP are making my brain think different.
Cool idea! I've always loved the analogy of food/ingredients/recipe to explain Midjourney prompting and I think your idea of a grocery list makes a lot of sense!
Terrific Tutorial ! This is extremely helpful and i super appreciate your generosity by sharing this formula! The rhythm approach is very unusual and original. 1000 thanks!

clarinet is so helpful and this is another category of helpful that is even more-so. I was pausing to take notes - yes written on paper because that is another tool that works for me. Thanks for the pdf as well. I can’t wait to try this; you were so succinct with your explanation, much appreciated!
Curious where you would choose to put in an artists name if you were looking for a specific influence? Such as Frida Khalo or Diane Arbus for example? @@FutureTechPilot
Thank you for the Rhythm bit. It can be helpful to remember. Once again an excellent video demonstration. Don't listen to some weird comments who didn't like your rhythm. After all its your videos and you can do whatever you like in your videos. There are many people who are enjoy watching you. Don't pay attention to the negative comments. If they find it silly, then they are free to watch other videos. You are putting to much effort and knowledge into these videos. don't let some idiots change the way you are teaching to us. If they are smart enough they can record their own video tutorials and we are here to judge them too if they dare. Keep up the amazing professional work you are doing Nolal. 👍👍 By the way, can you create videos for other Ai generators as well? not exclusively for Midjourney. Such as for Dalle-3, Leonardo, etc...
haha all feedback is valuable! I'm happy to know when my videos don't connect with people - it let's me know that I can improve in that area. But as always, thank you for the support! And I have nothing against other ai art generators, but it will be hard to make videos on them for one reason - my current video 'to-do' list is so ridiculously long (well over 200) and it can be difficult to switch focus and prioritize other content over the ideas I already have scheduled. But I really do appreciate you asking, so I know it's important and maybe I can get to that idea sooner than expected!
I stopped using MJ for a few months & am thinking of returning. Kinda worried about the new prompting style though. I really enjoyed using more aesthetic words and letting it do it's own thing and being utterly wowed by the result. I don't usually have any certain look in mind, just a vibe I'm going for because I don't use it to create specific images. I use it to create things I can use to create other things.
It took me forever to figure out how to approach women and engage them in conversation and now I have to learn how to pick up midjourney? XD XD Holy Moly! Thanks for the awesome explanation. And yes, now it really makes sense. And it works.
I like your videos very much. Thank you. This comment is really for anyone who uses AI. Just remember to say please and thank you. Let them know that humans are really very nice! Just in case. 😁
Hey man, good to see you. Thought you got lost in the post ( pun intended ). You can definitely be counted on to do some heavy lifting; excellent recipe. You always make great sense and you have nailed it with this one. Thanks for your commitment...
One vid' I would love to see from you is advice on controlling the art-direction of more subtle and specific changes to a composition you like, one that just needs some minor improvements and alterations. For instance adding glowing red eyes to a few background characters or craning the camera up a notch without affecting the image dynamic overall. I have tried various methodology such as vary region with prompting and vary subtle with prompt updates but I find it all a bit hit and miss and the knock on effect is countless iterations of trying to rework it or accepting a degree of randomness. So any tips on existing tricks would be great, otherwise look fwd to the next version where they offer more such post initial prompt round control.
Unfortunately, you nailed it - 'countless iterations' - it's a slot machine, and there probably aren't any special tricks to remove the randomness. You may have better luck just taking your base image into photoshop and making all your adjustments from there.
ok cool cheers yep I have actually just 'surrendnered' my wasted attempts at the more subtle improvements so photoshop comp cheats seem to be the best way ahead for now until hopefully improved updates to MJ 'post' tools@@FutureTechPilot
Dear Nolan, Curious as I am when it comes to images, I was able to follow an introduction about MJ a month ago. And soon I was blown away by what I saw appear! I now have a basic plan with MJ and have already been able to make a few nice pictures, but...I have also become very eager and I want to know much, much more about MJ! How lucky I was that I saw your "Future Tech Pilot" fly by ;-) And I have already learned a lot from you. Your way of explaining the material appeals to me very much, you do it so pleasantly and full of enthusiasm, I really appreciate that and it is easy for me to follow!, (with some help from Google translate!,..:- )) Many thnx!!! from Amsterdam! Btw, I thought I heard you say something in one of your videos about a complete(?) workshop or a course that you could provide?,...
Hey thanks a lot for the kind words! Yes, I'm currently working on both a Beginner & a Master Course - teaching everything you need to know about Midjourney. I think it should be available by the end of the month, sign up for my newsletters - ftp.live/newsletter - if you want a special discount when it's released
Very useful.. love the improvements to mid journey, and I love knowing how to use them. Thanks! One trick I've come up with that may be helpful is what I call left turns. You get a momentum by selecting a grid evolution selection several times and it seems to bake in the latent factors related to those choices, and then you take a left turn in the prompt and it results in some very interesting changes. Sort of echoes of the original, which you can bring into completely new situations and get a subtle effect holographicly.
/remix prefer Maybe what he means, after selecting a few iterations of variations, using remix offers you ability to evolve a chosen variation via modifying the original prompt. ?
@@juliansimmons7700 if you ask for cat. Then select a few, then without restarting the prompt, change it to girl. You get a weird cat girl. Results may vary depending on version, but there's momentum to details everywhere.
I have been using chat GPT along side it v4 the difference in V6 MJ is so much better, just re learning to prompt but that video I am experimenting with now
I'm not 100% sold on the V6 version, it's a tad annoying to me coz you have to explain everything, and not use ''emotions'' I feel that, for me, version 5.2 is better. It also takes soooo much time to generate or upscale too. Having said though, your explanation is BRILLIANT, like every single video you're making and it's super informative and well shown and detailed. You're AMAZING as a TH-camr. Thank you for your efforts and lessons to us all :)
I agree with your sentitment on prompting! I much prefer the old way (and still prompt like that in V6) but I think it was important to highlight the new capabilities. Thanks for the kind words also. I'm super grateful to have an audience who enjoys the videos, and your feedback is extremely helpful. Cheers pal!
I continue to believe that fewer words produce a stronger result. You should always strive to be as concise in your description. Every word "dilutes" the result causes the AI to have to weld more concepts into a single image.
I wish I knew how to pull the image out! I keep adding things about feet and legs, and it doesn't matter most times. Midjourney just gets stuck on medium shots and close ups.
Hmm. I was definitely going to suggest mentioning shoes. And you can try changing the aspect ratio. I think 2:3 and 4:5 have been good for getting full bodies. I know it's frustrating though
Currently tricky for just a single person, for more than one easier. I.e. Standing men and women. When zoom out appears we’ll have a solution to one figure, or maybe the beta release will help.
I’ve been experiencing with this new version and photographic images are amazing. However, it seems that with illustrations is harder to get results as with 5.2 or even with the previous version. What would you recommend?
Hmm.. I think there are 2 things that come to mind. 1. try using multi-prompts - like adding the style you want with a little bit of weight /imagine prompt: (subject)(style):: (style)::0.4 or 0.6 2. try taking an image you like from 5.2, image prompt it into Midjourney - write a short description in your prompt and use --iw 2 or even --iw 3 secret bonus tip, it's okay to keep generating in old versions if you like the results! Hope that helps a bit
Hey, great job! Gotta admit, I kinda dropped off Midjourney lately. Had some cool visuals, but the juice wasn't worth the squeeze, as we say in Italy. Still, totally enjoying your videos 'cause they seem to vibe well with Stable Diffusion. 👍 Keep it up!
Thank u Nolan for this good video and for the keyword " 1980s film screenshot" i got more realistic images❤ can u make a video again how to generate photorealistic with V6. And do u know how to solve hand problems by V6? Thank u
hmm.. hands? I think that's definitely just a 'slot machine' thing, as in, you just have to get lucky. BUT, using Vary Subtle might help correct wonky hands (I've done that recently) ... and photorealistic images? I'll look into it but Version 6 tends to make things photorealistic without asking ya know? So I'm not quite sure which words will emphasize it
@@FutureTechPilot hi thx for ur fast answer. I asked the midjourney guru from suportteam. He told me to use just the keywords photograph in front of my promts. 😊
Thank you so much for this! I’m new and am really enjoying your tutorials. I’m wondering you have a tutorial on eliminating facial and hand/feet distortion. I’m having real trouble with that - thank you again!
Hmm .. I don't think I have any videos that talk about that :( sorry - but my suggestion would be to use Vary Subtle on any image that doesn't look quite right. I've found that to help fix hands (eventually)
One thing about all AI image generators is this one main issue. Perspective. For example, Someone in a hallway in a home, looking up at a skylight.... Now... This is where the issue is. AI doesn't yet understand there are 2 parts to a skylight in some cases. I lived in a house that had a 2 part skylight. In the hallway you look up and there's the ceiling or attic portion of the skylight, then there is the portion on the roof of the house or ceiling of the attic. I like to prompt my dreams over the last 33 of 40 years of my life haha. Is there a way to prompt perspective to where the AI can understand what I mentioned above?
I have two suggestions ... first - kinda boring, but I would literally prompt in the way you explained it. "looking up at the ceiling. In the middle of the ceiling is a circular skylight" second - I would find a reference image that had the look you wanted, and I would use that as an image prompt! Hope that helps
Hi Nolan, thanks for the tips and the explanation of the 2-4-2 formula.Would you say this works well for clipart/t-shirt/stickers etc? It seems everytime I try and add more information on V6 it doesn't like it very much but if I start extremely simply and add details to it slowly it behaves however,it doesn't tend to do well if I get too wordy or add in a lot so I'll have a bash at this method and see what happens.I've had a go with the formula adding in "white background," "clipart", "ultra-high detail," in among the prompt but it's still not playing ball. I get the feeling that there's a lot of tweaking and iterations to be done to get what you want or am I over complicaitng things do you think? It's probably because I'm relatively new to prompting but I love your videos and how you make no fluff hit the ground running content.Thanks ever so much! :)
Hmm.. I'm personally a fan of shorter prompts when it comes to designs like stickers and t-shirts ... so I'm not sure if the 2-4-2 would work well because I guess I haven't tried it much. Actually, I did it once recently and I'm not going to lie, the pictures were so cool. BUT it's cause I had a really specific description. I'm not sure I would add in a lot of extra words if I didn't know exactly what I was looking for. I also recommend trying --style raw if you haven't and both a lower and higher stylize value. Like --s 60 and --s 400 aaaaand you can honestly just use something like --v 5.1 or 5.2 ... some of the older models were amazing at clip art and things like that. Hope that helps
@@FutureTechPilot Hi Nolan, yeah, --style raw is my go to! ;) V6 does better with --150 and occasionally --s100 but when I'm happy with it I usually whack it up to --s 250 just to not eat up so many fast hours.I did hear that V5.2 was better so I'll go back to that and have a bash at V5.1 as well.I've been trying to get consistent results when changing from one character to another but it does tend to gimp off a tad and produce some pretty random or totally unrelated stuff which can be frustating but yeah,definitely some of the images it produces just blows me away.It's so flipping addictive! Thanks ever so much for taking the time to reply and for the tips.It's very much appreciated and very nice of you! Have a lovely day! :)
Very helpful! I’ve been trying to get it to spit out some animals wearing cute outfits and v6 is so different from what I’m used too 😅. Thank you for making this one
It is still in alpha with limited functionality. Developers promised all those features, and more :) Latest update focused on default styling change and coherency improvements. Beta is coming soon :)
Thank you! Quick question 🙋🏻♀️ if I want to replicate a particular painting style by a particular artist (say I want it to look like a VanGogh whereabouts in the prompt (or rhythm) is it best to tell Midjourney to make it look as post impressionism painter by Van Gogh?
Definitely at the front! And honestly, art styles are a little finicky right now, I would even recommend saying it at the end as well. Like double or triple up on the key words haha hope that helps
Hi Nolan, thank you for the video, It's was super helpful. When I try to download the PDF, the mail returns without a Link Attach. Can you Check it out? Thanks a lot. Inbal
Thank you for the prompt tips, but there are still a number of issues that I have yet to overcome. For example, how can I avoid double barrel confusion? If I want an image of magnet fishing, how do I avoid all the unwanted angling images?
@@christopherd.winnan8701 I don't use other generators enough to make a recommendation. But Leonardo AI or Stable Diffusion can probably do what you're looking for
Thanks so much for this info. Will be busy today testing out new prompts. Your videos always provide great insight. Not sure if this is the right place to ask. Since V6 seems some of my midjourney images have noise or such. I use topaz upscale ai. Topaz worked great before. Is it me or did something change with v6
haha you know what, I've kinda noticed the same thing (I use Topaz too) - and V6 definitely changed, but maybe we just have to wait for it to get updated again

AWESOME video! The fact that you approached it from a rhythm point of view is not just creative and rare but also pretty darned accurate. Once I started using the 'v6 language, ' it was insane what I could get. Clarinet is _so_ incredibly helpful, it's unreal. I had started looking at it as bookmarks with books in between.

i've been using midjourney for some time. ive learned puppeteering, early letters, lots through claire A net
What a great video!!!!
Cheers!
Thanks, Nolan. This is great. Interestingly, these prompts sometimes feel like the prompts of days old.
Time is a flat circle 😂
Thanks, again and well done. As I was watching your video I was visualizing a traditional vertical list format to learn the new prompting--like a grocery list with number two being the main course. Once again, MJ and FTP are making my brain think different.
Cool idea! I've always loved the analogy of food/ingredients/recipe to explain Midjourney prompting and I think your idea of a grocery list makes a lot of sense!
What a great idea - I love grocery lists!
Like 5-coarse menu in a restaurant maybe? (I have to think about that first, to see if I even know that works)
I wonder what happens if you change the “rhythm” or the order of the “menu” or “grocery list”. 🤔 🫣
whats FTP?
This helped me so much
That makes me happy to hear!
very helpful, thank you

V cool ... I like the notion of 'rhythm' as it makes it easier to remember the structural ptmopts that work best
Yah I was hoping that idea would click with other people
Love it!
Hey I'm glad to hear that!
great video, so now prompt more like you would in chatgpt, more a statement than a command
Yah I think that's a fair way of describing it!
Funny, V6 prompts are written like beat poetry.
haha yeah it's funny to see that the bot responds well to this style
❤❤❤

I continue to believe that fewer words produce a stronger result. You should always strive to be as concise in your description. Every word "dilutes" the result causes the AI to have to weld more concepts into a single image.
Yah I like shorter prompts as well! But now with V6 MJ is capable of a lot more
I wish I knew how to pull the image out! I keep adding things about feet and legs, and it doesn't matter most times. Midjourney just gets stuck on medium shots and close ups.
Hmm. I was definitely going to suggest mentioning shoes. And you can try changing the aspect ratio. I think 2:3 and 4:5 have been good for getting full bodies. I know it's frustrating though
Currently tricky for just a single person, for more than one easier. I.e. Standing men and women. When zoom out appears we’ll have a solution to one figure, or maybe the beta release will help.
I’ve been experiencing with this new version and photographic images are amazing. However, it seems that with illustrations is harder to get results as with 5.2 or even with the previous version. What would you recommend?
Hmm.. I think there are 2 things that come to mind.
1. try using multi-prompts - like adding the style you want with a little bit of weight /imagine prompt: (subject)(style):: (style)::0.4 or 0.6
2. try taking an image you like from 5.2, image prompt it into Midjourney - write a short description in your prompt and use --iw 2 or even --iw 3
secret bonus tip, it's okay to keep generating in old versions if you like the results!
Hope that helps a bit
Hey, great job! Gotta admit, I kinda dropped off Midjourney lately. Had some cool visuals, but the juice wasn't worth the squeeze, as we say in Italy. Still, totally enjoying your videos 'cause they seem to vibe well with Stable Diffusion. 👍 Keep it up!
Hey that's great to hear! Cheers pal
Tada tadaddadda tada

Why does the AI seem to equate Wizard/Sorcerer/Warlock only with elves? Even if I prompt with Human Wizard, the result is pointy ears.
maybe you could try --no elves ? something like that!
Ironically, I have been prompting in this way since v4 with mixed results......sometimes the results were extraordinary sometimes terrible
haha oh my gosh, now I want to try some of these prompts in V4 ...
Thank u Nolan for this good video and for the keyword " 1980s film screenshot" i got more realistic images❤ can u make a video again how to generate photorealistic with V6. And do u know how to solve hand problems by V6? Thank u
hmm.. hands? I think that's definitely just a 'slot machine' thing, as in, you just have to get lucky. BUT, using Vary Subtle might help correct wonky hands (I've done that recently) ... and photorealistic images? I'll look into it but Version 6 tends to make things photorealistic without asking ya know? So I'm not quite sure which words will emphasize it
@@FutureTechPilot hi thx for ur fast answer. I asked the midjourney guru from suportteam. He told me to use just the keywords photograph in front of my promts. 😊
What’s with the ta da? 🤣
😂 just my attempt at explaining a way to use new technology
Thank you so much for this! I’m new and am really enjoying your tutorials. I’m wondering you have a tutorial on eliminating facial and hand/feet distortion. I’m having real trouble with that - thank you again!
Hmm .. I don't think I have any videos that talk about that :( sorry - but my suggestion would be to use Vary Subtle on any image that doesn't look quite right. I've found that to help fix hands (eventually)
@@FutureTechPilot thank you for the suggestion - I’ll try that!
One thing about all AI image generators is this one main issue. Perspective. For example, Someone in a hallway in a home, looking up at a skylight.... Now... This is where the issue is. AI doesn't yet understand there are 2 parts to a skylight in some cases. I lived in a house that had a 2 part skylight. In the hallway you look up and there's the ceiling or attic portion of the skylight, then there is the portion on the roof of the house or ceiling of the attic. I like to prompt my dreams over the last 33 of 40 years of my life haha.
Is there a way to prompt perspective to where the AI can understand what I mentioned above?
I have two suggestions ...
first - kinda boring, but I would literally prompt in the way you explained it. "looking up at the ceiling. In the middle of the ceiling is a circular skylight"
second - I would find a reference image that had the look you wanted, and I would use that as an image prompt!
Hope that helps
Hi Nolan, thanks for the tips and the explanation of the 2-4-2 formula.Would you say this works well for clipart/t-shirt/stickers etc? It seems everytime I try and add more information on V6 it doesn't like it very much but if I start extremely simply and add details to it slowly it behaves however,it doesn't tend to do well if I get too wordy or add in a lot so I'll have a bash at this method and see what happens.I've had a go with the formula adding in "white background," "clipart", "ultra-high detail," in among the prompt but it's still not playing ball. I get the feeling that there's a lot of tweaking and iterations to be done to get what you want or am I over complicaitng things do you think? It's probably because I'm relatively new to prompting but I love your videos and how you make no fluff hit the ground running content.Thanks ever so much! :)
Hmm.. I'm personally a fan of shorter prompts when it comes to designs like stickers and t-shirts ... so I'm not sure if the 2-4-2 would work well because I guess I haven't tried it much. Actually, I did it once recently and I'm not going to lie, the pictures were so cool. BUT it's cause I had a really specific description. I'm not sure I would add in a lot of extra words if I didn't know exactly what I was looking for.
I also recommend trying --style raw if you haven't and both a lower and higher stylize value. Like --s 60 and --s 400
aaaaand you can honestly just use something like --v 5.1 or 5.2 ... some of the older models were amazing at clip art and things like that.
Hope that helps
@@FutureTechPilot Hi Nolan, yeah, --style raw is my go to! ;) V6 does better with --150 and occasionally --s100 but when I'm happy with it I usually whack it up to --s 250 just to not eat up so many fast hours.I did hear that V5.2 was better so I'll go back to that and have a bash at V5.1 as well.I've been trying to get consistent results when changing from one character to another but it does tend to gimp off a tad and produce some pretty random or totally unrelated stuff which can be frustating but yeah,definitely some of the images it produces just blows me away.It's so flipping addictive! Thanks ever so much for taking the time to reply and for the tips.It's very much appreciated and very nice of you! Have a lovely day! :)
I did not receive confirmation email for pdf? Any help is appreciated.
Please check your spam folder! If not, you can email me - ftp @ futuretechpilot.com
@@FutureTechPilot Thanks...I have multiple spam folders, did not see it at first. Thanks for your work, Great stuff!
Very helpful! I’ve been trying to get it to spit out some animals wearing cute outfits and v6 is so different from what I’m used too 😅. Thank you for making this one
hahah I hope it helps!
Another amazing video- as always. I have tried v6. I am wondering why you cant zoom out, custom zoom, vary region etc. Perhaps eventually?
It is still in alpha with limited functionality. Developers promised all those features, and more :) Latest update focused on default styling change and coherency improvements. Beta is coming soon :)
They're working on it! Maybe around 10 days from now we'll see it
Thank you! Quick question 🙋🏻♀️ if I want to replicate a particular painting style by a particular artist (say I want it to look like a VanGogh whereabouts in the prompt (or rhythm) is it best to tell Midjourney to make it look as post impressionism painter by Van Gogh?
Definitely at the front! And honestly, art styles are a little finicky right now, I would even recommend saying it at the end as well. Like double or triple up on the key words haha hope that helps
I'm privvy to semi-colons tbh
Yah good point, any punctuation will work well as long as your comfortable with it
Hi Nolan, thank you for the video, It's was super helpful. When I try to download the PDF, the mail returns without a Link Attach. Can you Check it out? Thanks a lot. Inbal
I just checked and it should all be working properly. Is there a button in the email to take you to the download?
@@FutureTechPilot THank's It's work now
Thank you for the prompt tips, but there are still a number of issues that I have yet to overcome.
For example, how can I avoid double barrel confusion? If I want an image of magnet fishing, how do I avoid all the unwanted angling images?
I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you rephrase it please?
@@FutureTechPilot When I try to generate images of magnet fishing, I only get images of normal fishing. Can you think of a useful solution?
@@christopherd.winnan8701 Try using a reference image as an image prompt
@@FutureTechPilotSadly, I do not have access to MJ. Do you know of an alternative generator that is capable of accepting reference images?
@@christopherd.winnan8701 I don't use other generators enough to make a recommendation. But Leonardo AI or Stable Diffusion can probably do what you're looking for
Thanks so much for this info. Will be busy today testing out new prompts. Your videos always provide great insight. Not sure if this is the right place to ask. Since V6 seems some of my midjourney images have noise or such. I use topaz upscale ai. Topaz worked great before. Is it me or did something change with v6
haha you know what, I've kinda noticed the same thing (I use Topaz too) - and V6 definitely changed, but maybe we just have to wait for it to get updated again
