There was so much info in this video it needs multiple viewings, as another commenter said, the view count is way off what it should be. This vid shows that even with AI, there is still a lot of work to create a video as high quality as the one you did, but, it IS achievable. Thank you for providing such a detailed tutorial.
Hey Billy, thanks for this. Really glad people enjoyed it. I've hopefully got some fun new videos on the horrizon. I'm still dealing with my recovery at the moment but on good days really trying to produce some good, fun, and useful content here. All the best!
Haha thanks. I have to be honest, considering how popular the video itself was when I posted it a few weeks ago, I'm surprised at the minimal audience for this tutorial. Glad you liked it :)
Really glad the tutorial helped. Definitely let me know if you ever post your creation, would love to see it! Edit: Ooh, just saw you posted your video, great work. Some of those cheese characters are quite nightmare inducing haha.
Cool tutorial. I thought I might add a tip for the position alignment mentioned at 30:45 - you can change the position of a keyframe on a frame that the playback head is not on (without creating a new keyframe) by double clicking the key you want to change and spinning the numbers - that way you can watch as your frames align without as much guesswork.
@@3DRevolution thanks man! I appreciate it! I'm trying to make a music video so it's a bit tricky because I want the timing of the images to correspond with the lyrics.
@@johnnyeaton That'll more come down to the editing post generation. Create all your images first (try to create more images for sections of your song that are slower or that will be onscreen for a longer time), then create your initial infinite zoom. Then export it and reimport it into DaVinci as a single video file (making sure you've created an infinite zoom video that is longer than the length of your song). Lay the music track down on a timeline, then add the infinite zoom over it, and adjust the speed and timing of different sections of the video to better match your song. If you want to aim to generate images that will perfectly match the length of your song (and meet the right timings in the song) from the get go, just remembered that each image you generate will represent 1 second on screen. So if you want something to happen 35 seconds into your video make sure that happens on the 36th image. Though bare in mind your prompts are only going to affect the outer boarder of the image, so you may want to start generrating the thing you want to happen at 35 seconds 1 or two images earlier
@@3DRevolution I gave it a go and did some initial testing, and, unfortunately, the zooming is really choppy, not smooth at all. I guess that's why you recommended Adobe over DaVinci. :( I guess another question is, do you do freelance work? :)
Hey, can you explain how you created zoom out from Earth at the end? I'm trying to create the same zoom for my video and every time getting some weird deformations of the earth's shape, at some steps, it's not spherical anymore. Thanks in advance !
Hey, sure. I was actually using fairly simple prompts at that point in the video but I was needing to use several affirmative commands to comirm the shape and style. A lot of my prompts at that point were pretty much, "wide angle photo of the whole entire round planet earth"
Thank you!!! I'm really new to AI, what affirmative commands did you use there? Because then I zoom out from Earth, I'm getting really weird results with simple prompts@@3DRevolution
@@zarif73 hey sorry, that was probably a bit confusing, that I'm aware of, affirmative commands isn't a recognised Midjourney term, was more of a personal descriptor. It was more that I was referring to the "whole", "entire", and "round" earth.
@@zarif73 haha oh definitely. I was getting all sorts of oddly shaped and charactered earth's, but the key is really persistence. Really emphasise the shape you want and use negative prompts if there's a particular thing being generated that you don't want.
Yes and no. Technically it is possible, but will involve a completely different process to this and a lot more manual photo/video manipulation. If you have ever seen the film Limitless, the infinite zoom style was made popular by that, and that features a number using standard video shots plus a load of rotoscoping.
rather than using photoshop to make the image smaller and keeping the space around it, it would be super simple to have chatgpt to write a script to do this automatically and in a second or two
i am using 5.2 and set up mid journey in my own discord server, but i dont see the zoom option after upscaling. is it because im on the cheapest midjourney option? do i need to upgrade to the $20 one?
No you should have access to the zoom feature regardless of which package you're on. I've just gone through all the settings options and I'm not able to replicate your issue. I'm on the basic plan at the moment and I've still got access to the Zoom Out features. Have you tested it to see if you get the zoom out feature when you upscale an image on the public MidJourney server rather than on your own? That would at least let you check if that could be the cause?

You must have pissed someone off at TH-cam because All your stuff is great quality but doesn’t have the appropriate views
Haha thanks. I have to be honest, considering how popular the video itself was when I posted it a few weeks ago, I'm surprised at the minimal audience for this tutorial. Glad you liked it :)
Amazing tutorial, I appreciate all the explanation of why to use AE. High quality production here, deserves thousands of views
Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks. Hope it helps you make some awesome content of your own.
Thank you for the great tutorial! :) Just made a silly creation, and you were easy to follow, everything was clear!

Of course, good shout, thanks!
Thanks! So well explained. Really appreciate your work.
Thank you so much, you're very welcome and hope you found it useful!
@@3DRevolution I watched a lottttt of tutorials, this was the best and helped me make this: th-cam.com/video/9qwsIbJ1cmk/w-d-xo.html
Perfect
Glad you like it, do you think you'll make oine yourself? Would love to see your creation.
Of course I will apply this technique to my channel@@3DRevolution
Thank you for this. I sadly don't have the $$$ for the Adobe stuff, but I'll try it out with DaVinci.
Let me know how it goes and if you get stuck or have questions. Definitely pop a link here when you've finished your creation, would love to see it!
