Create an AI Art progress video using Midjourney (--video prompt code)

In today's video, we're diving into the exciting world of AI art and how to create stunning little progress videos using Midjourney! This process is simple but can yield some awesome results, so let's get right into it!

Creating Your First AI Art Video

The first step in making your video is to come up with a compelling prompt for the artwork you want to create. I've already typed in my prompt, so let's move on to the next step.

To generate a video, you need to type --video at the end of your prompt. Once that's done, press Enter and wait for your masterpiece to appear!

Unlocking the Video Feature

After entering the prompt, you won't immediately see the video option appear. This can be a bit cryptic, but don’t worry, I’ll guide you through it!

1. Locate the message you've typed.
2. Find the "Add Reaction" tool and click on it.
3. You’ll need to scroll down to find the blank envelope emoji. It's essential to select the plain envelope and not any other variation!
4. If you're using your phone, simply click and hold the message area. You can then click on the emoji option to add the envelope.

After selecting the envelope, you'll activate the video feature. You’ll notice you now have four images displayed.

Getting a Video from a Single Image

But what if you want to create a video from just one image? Here’s a tip:

• Use the new --test algorithm with your prompt.
• Add the aspect ratio --ar 16:9. This will make the image wider, causing Midjourney to produce only one variation instead of multiple.
• Make sure to re-enter --video and hit Enter. Wait for your artwork to be rendered.

Once your image is ready, hover over your post again and repeat the process of adding the blank envelope. In doing this, you'll successfully generate the video!

Reviewing Your Video

Once you've followed these steps, you'll have your very own progress video ready for viewing. Let’s check out how it looks!
