Creating Cool Effects with Mid Journey
In this section, the speaker demonstrates how to create cool effects using Mid Journey. The first effect shown is how to get two different characters into the same scene. The second effect demonstrated is how to get a consistent character effect.
Getting Two Different Characters into the Same Scene
- To get two different characters into the same scene, start with one person and upscale their image.
- Use custom zoom to add another person's image and adjust settings such as aspect ratio and zoom level.
- Repeat this process until you have an image of both characters in the same scene.
Getting a Consistent Character Effect
- Start with a close-up of a face and add soft focus.
- Add aspect ratio 16:9 for a wider image.
- Upscale the image and use custom zoom to place the character in different environments.
- Repeat this process for variations on the character in different environments.
Creating Images of People in Different Environments
In this section, the speaker continues demonstrating how to create images of people in different environments using Mid Journey.
Creating Images of People in Different Environments
- Start with an image of a person's face and add soft focus.
- Use custom zoom to place them in an environment such as on a beach or in a forest at night.
- Upscale the resulting image and repeat this process for variations on the character in different environments.
Zooming and Video Effects
In this section, the speaker demonstrates how to create a collection of images using Runway ml and generate a video with frame interpolation. The speaker also shows how to create an infinite zoom video effect using Mid-Journey and DaVinci Resolve.
Creating a Collection of Images
- The speaker zooms out to show a collection of seven images that they generated using Runway ml.
- The speaker explains how to use Runway ml's frame interpolation tool to generate a video that transitions between the images.
- The speaker acknowledges the limitation of the method, which is that the woman's face in each image is always in the same pose.
Creating an Infinite Zoom Video Effect
- The speaker demonstrates how to create an infinite zoom video effect using Mid-Journey and DaVinci Resolve.
- The speaker starts with a base image of a wolf in a snowy forest landscape and uses custom zooms to alter it into something completely different.
- After generating 10 different images, the speaker upscales them for better quality using Topaz AI or other free upscalers.
- Finally, the speaker creates a new timeline in DaVinci Resolve and adds all 10 images onto it. They then double the size of each image on their timeline and set each clip duration to two seconds before closing gaps.

In this section, the speaker demonstrates how to create an infinitely zooming video using Mid-Journey 5.2.
Setting Keyframes and Applying Zoom Effect
- To create an infinitely zooming video, set keyframes for each image by clicking on the diamond icon.
- Apply a zoom effect to each image by setting the zoom level to one.
- To speed up the process, copy and paste attributes from one image to all others.
Creating a Compound Clip and Reversing Direction Arrow
- Select all clips and create a new compound clip.
- Click on speed change and reverse the direction arrow to make the video continually zoom in instead of out.
Other Tools for Creating Infinitely Zooming Videos
