Create AMAZING 3D Videos With MIDJOURNEY (FULL COURSE!)

The video begins with an introduction to creating stunning scenes using Mid-Journey, a tool the creator has been utilizing for clients. After a successful reel showcasing their work, they decided to offer a free course on YouTube to grow their channel rather than selling a course. The creator emphasizes the use of Adobe Suite (Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere Pro) for this tutorial and provides a link for the best pricing. They encourage active learning by following along with the steps and applying them to personal projects. The video also promotes the creator's other courses on Skillshare, including ones on creating reels, captions, and freelancing with Fiverr gigs. The link to these courses is provided in the video description.

The tutorial proceeds with instructions on how to access and use Mid-Journey via Discord. The creator guides the viewer through the process of setting up Mid-Journey, including adjusting settings for model version, stylization, remix mode, and variation mode. They explain the importance of aspect ratio for the generated images and demonstrate how to input commands for specific ratios. The creator then provides examples of prompts to generate images with distinct foregrounds, backgrounds, and potential for animation. They discuss the option to upscale and download images for further editing and emphasize the importance of creativity in crafting prompts for Mid-Journey.

In this section, the creator transitions to Photoshop to separate the different elements of the image into layers. They explain the process of using the object selection tool to isolate the foreground, middle ground, and background. The creator demonstrates how to refine selections and delete the unwanted parts to prepare the image for animation. They also discuss the use of the clone stamp and eraser tools for any necessary cleanup. The goal is to have distinct layers for animation in After Effects, and the creator provides tips on maintaining layer organization to avoid complications.

The creator imports the Photoshop file into After Effects, retaining the layers for animation. They explain the importance of pre-composing layers for easier manipulation and then proceed to make all layers 3D. The tutorial covers the use of parallax effects by adjusting the z-axis to create depth. The creator demonstrates how to animate the camera and adjust keyframes for smooth motion. They also show how to add and animate elements like lightning storms and fog from stock footage websites, enhancing the scene's realism and drama. The focus is on creating a dynamic and engaging visual sequence.

The final part of the tutorial involves rendering the animated scene and adding sound effects to enhance the overall experience. The creator discusses the possibility of a follow-up video that will detail the editing process in Premiere Pro. They encourage viewers to comment, subscribe, and show support for the content. The creator also reminds viewers of the Skillshare courses available for further learning opportunities. The tutorial concludes with a call to action for viewers to apply the skills learned and create their own projects, fostering a community of learners and creators.
