This is just what I needed to animate my images. Thanks! Nice work.

[@PromoAmbitions]

Glad you found it to be helpful 🙌

Awesome! Thank you kindly, glad you have found it to be helpful!!

[@SassePhoto]

Very well explained! Thank you

[@PromoAmbitions]

Glad you've found it to be helpful!

Good video, I just discovered this technique as well yesterday, to fix the jumpiness, it's kind of tedious but it works:
1. put the photos in the sequential order but on their own layer and repeat the steps you shared
2. for each photo, you need to drag out the image duration to start when the photo before it starts and set it's keyframe to 400% (in addition to the 200 and 100 you mentioned)
3. put a very short cross-dissolve at the end of the image above the one you lengthened (adjust per image)
(this allows the upcoming image to be zooming at the same time as the preceding image, and with the cross-fade, the jumpy transition is eliminated)
ps also check your image position on a few as I saw some vertical jumps as well
Cheers!

[@PromoAmbitions]

Thank you kindly for the helpful tips. I believe the vertical may be because some of the images when downloaded miss a few pixel rows at the bottom. Even though I specify 16:9, it is not exactly 1920x1080...

[@theland.zone_1]

Ohh a small transistion maight help me...thanks for good advice.... Have you any example I can see of a really smooth zoom
?

[@joshuastclair]

Hey man, I love your page. Just subscribed. I wondering the same thing about how to fix that transition jumping and hopefully what you mentioned here will solve it. Going to try it and do you mind if I can send you a message if I have any questions on it?

[@theland.zone_1]

😍

[@AudioSoulHealing]

@@joshuastclair thanks for the kind words and absolutely- feel free to reach out anytime, we are all here learning and growing together! 🙌

[@katelynliepins4567]

So many possibilities!!

[@andreasmoyseos5980]

Thank you. Zooming the first image at 212% and the next one to begin at 106% does the job.

[@PromoAmbitions]

So helpful! Thank you!!

[@joshuastclair]

@@PromoAmbitions have you tried this and it worked then? I am using davinci and the default is not percentages. I would assume instead of 212% for example, I would use 2.12 points instead.

[@joshuastclair]

To clarify, what would the zoom parameters be at the beginning of each clip and what are the zoom parameters at the end of each clip?

[@PromoAmbitions]

@@joshuastclair I just kept it 2x to 1x, I have not tried alternative ways yet.

[@ausgas]

@@joshuastclairyou actually want to link the layers together (after scaling them relative to each other), and scale them all together with an exponential curve.

[@BetweenBassandTreble]

Its important to upscale your composition imports to 2X or greater, but keep the actual After Effects composition at the standard 1X resolution so that when you zoom or adjust size, the resolution transitions more smoothly.

[@PromoAmbitions]

Thank you for the tip, I'll try it out 🙌

[@cristilazar8725]

You are a lifesaver! Thank you for making this easy to understand

[@PromoAmbitions]

Glad you found it useful!

[@exposehealthcare]

Very cool! 🎉

[@PromoAmbitions]

Thanks for appreciating 🙌

[@doggiesdog2064]

please make a similar technique with Leonardo. This is very good tutorial but Leonardo one is needed brother. Much apreciated

[@PromoAmbitions]

I'll look into it 🙌

[@shacka95]

On mobile midjourney/discord, my images are the same size (1024x1024) whether I open them in the web browser or not

[@ItsPoppingTimeNEWS]

you need to add at the end of the prompt: --ar 16:9 (look prompt at: 00:38 )

[@creeper_films]

superb! thanks for tutorial..🤩can i make a short story for this via chatgpt and propmting for each scene?

[@PromoAmbitions]

Yes, that's an excellent idea!! I feel sad for book artists as I do believe Midjourney will render their work obsolete in some sense.

[@FreeAIGent]

Now to try this with video

[@PromoAmbitions]

Let us know how you like it 🙌

[@FreeAIGent]

@@PromoAmbitions tried it, and it would work better if I lowered the zoom amount in mid and increased the number of images to be processed

[@PromoAmbitions]

@@FreeAIGent interesting, thanks for sharing!

[@elmundodeyupi69]

PromoAmbitions: Other tutorial has many needless steps
Also PromoAmbitions: Let's use the calculator to do some math!!
Just kidding haha, thanks a lot for the very clear and useful video!!

[@PromoAmbitions]

Teehee fair point! Thanks for the chuckle 🙌🙃

[@thatonesnowboarde]

how did you get it to frame the scene in a picture frame? I have tried a few ways but it never seems to want to do it

[@PromoAmbitions]

I simply prompted it 'picture in a frame' when using custom zoom feature 🙌

[@xXIamJAEXx]

do you know if it's possible to prompt the zoom function to give more personalised results?

[@PromoAmbitions]

Yes, with custom Zoom you can achieve that. Make sure you are clicking custom zoom rather than just simply 2x zoom : ).

[@xXIamJAEXx]

Perfect thank you very much

[@MisterBoobou]

how do you do to get HD images from midjourney?

[@PromoAmbitions]

If I want them ultra high resolution, I import them into Photoshop and blow up the resolution that way

[@MisterBoobou]

But you loose on details a lot isn't?
thx for answer :)
@@PromoAmbitions

[@ScreenLa]

How many images do you think I should generate for a 15 sec clip?

[@PromoAmbitions]

It all depends on how long your transitions are 🙌

[@hansruediramsauer]

Is it possible to start with an existing image instead of creating one and if yes, how does it work, Thanks!

[@PromoAmbitions]

oooo great question! Will try it out tonight!!

[@thatonesnowboarde]

I dont know if you can do this easily with MJ, but you could render a picture frame then edit the original image in photoshop

[@jasoncousins7016]

Thank you. I tried this, the zoom works flawlessly, but when I am zooming out, the images get quite blurry even though I increased the resolution. Any else have this?

[@PromoAmbitions]

Which video editing software did you use?

[@jasoncousins7016]

@@PromoAmbitions Tried with both premier and after effects. I wonder if its because I made the duration much longer than yours, 5 seconds

[@crayder1100]

This isn't infinite though. It's one way, there's a starting and ending position. It's still really really cool, but not infinite.
I've seen other people doing infinite ones in the MidJ Discord and it still makes no sense to me since you can't just tell MidJ to go back to the original. Please someone help lol.

[@MEGATestberichte]

Nice video, using davinci resolve, but its pretty much the same there.

[@darajabar93]

can this be done with CapCut?

[@PromoAmbitions]

In all honesty, I've never heard of CapCut, but if the steps are followed in Midjourney, it's pretty easy operating in any video editor to create a photo zoom out or in effects

[@Mattingly84]

Can I use photos of myself on midjourney ?

[@PromoAmbitions]

You sure can, I cover how in other tutorials

[@Mattingly84]

Ty brother

[@Pdraper84]

I don’t have a computer - how do I do this on my iPhone

[@PromoAmbitions]

Hey Phil, I've never used the discord platform, midjourney, or photoshop on mobile platforms. I wouldn't be able to tell you unfortunately

[@valorantacemiyimben]

It isn't happening

[@PromoAmbitions]

Elaborate please...
