Alright, let's get started. 2. Creating Storytelling Zoom Out Photos: Alright, let's create the Zoom Out Effect Animation with Midjourney and After Effects. The first thing is, I'm gonna go to meet your name and slash setting. If I press slash forward and go to settings and press enter, I'm just going to something like this. Now, I'm just going to use the latest version, which right now is five-prime to stylize high public mode, remix, not high variation mode and fast mode. So make sure you're on the same page. Alright, The first problem is beautiful girl with head, face, extreme close-up dash, dash eight or nine by 16, which is gonna be their size at the reals or shorts in YouTube and Instagram. I'm just going to show you here. So this is what I did, beautiful. And it's simple. You just want to dislodge forward into and paste it and inter, and you're gonna get something like this. So I like number three and I'm just going to upscale it. If you obstacle, it will get something like this. So if I press U3, which is this one, I'm gonna go to this page. If I click on Custom Zoom, I will get a pop-up. Beautiful girl with the hat, the same thing now before beautiful girl, I'm just going to add train station. Then I'm just going to click on Soviet. I will get forward ideation. And I like number two. I'm just going to upscale it. After upscaling that any kind of customer Zoom again, the same prompt. I'm just going to click Submit again. I'm getting for variation. I like number two again. And I'm just going to get something like this. Click on Custom Zoom. We'll get this popup. Now. Remove everything you have here and just add long railway station. That's it because we already have this image. Now I'm just going to Zoom Out. But but I'm zooming out. I'm telling Midjourney what I want. I want this girl to be on long railway station. Now. I'm getting something like this. I like number three. I'm just going to scale that up. Customer Zoom again and just submit I like number one, u1. And again, custom Zoom the same prompt. They don't change anything, submits. So we get some gel-like this. I'm just going to scale that up again and customer Zoom. But right now, before long railway station, I'm just going to photo frame in the room and then submit for variation. I'd like number one. Again, custom Zoom. I'm just gonna keep doing that until I get the same storytelling that I want it. So photo frame in the room. I didn't change anything. Somebody. For variation, I like number three. And this time when I click on Custom Zoom, I'm just going to remove everything before dash. Dash is 250, and I'm just going to add palace indoor. Let's see what it gets. The frame is going inside the palace. I like number one up there. I'm getting for variation. You want upscaled number one. This is perfect. Customer Zoom and just submit again for variation. I like number three. Now, this time, if you click on Custom Zoom remote palace indoor and just add mirror, just submit. We get for number one is perfect for us. And that's it. Now, this time before a mirror, I'm just going to Add old lady sitting on a chair next to a mirror at, I'm just going to finish our Storytelling. I'm just going to submit, you get for variation. I'm just gonna pick this one. And that's it. Now, let's go to Midjourney to download all of these images. Alright, now let's go to midjourney.com slash app and click on. This enables selected modes. And just click on the images that you upscale in Midjourney. So one by one. Until here. Then click on Open downloaded. If you don't see it, Click on this little arrow here, make sure it's an open Downloader. And click Open download it and just going to download it. When you download, you just going to come here. Make sure to just rename it from 01 to the end one, which for now it's 12th. Now, let's go ahead and open the After Effects. 3. After Effects Zoom Out Animation : We are in the After Effects. Make sure to select all of these images. I'm just going to, from here to here, I'm just going to drag and drop it here to the Project panel. You just gonna be ordered from one to 12th. Now, let's go to Composition and critique a new composition. For now, I'm just going to put it on ten at 19:20. Frame 24 and measure the duration is on 22nd. And press Okay. I'm just going to get here. Shift select all of them, drag and drop it here. So make sure it's 1-12. And this is what we are going to do. So the last one should be this one. I'm just going to turn on all of these, make sure all of them are selected. Press S on your keyboard. Can even one of them. And 134, you're just gonna make it full size and press Enter. Now I'm just going to be fit in our screen. Now press U on your keyboard. Now, let's turn that all off, except the last one. I'm just going to select this one. Press S on your keyboard. I have to Zoom Out on number two, L to get to number 11 to this one. How to do that? It's simple. On a scale. I'm just going to get it here. I'm just going to multiply this, Add multiplier to two because we got to Zoom Out in Midjourney. So here we have to zoom in in After Effects. Now I'm just gonna select number element, turn that on to number 12. Double-click to mask the feather that we have in the edges. Open the mask. Mask feather 100. And also mask expansion should be -100 and press Enter. And again, the same thing before the active, the next image, you have to multiply the first one. So I'm just going to select here multiplied by two. Now, I'm just going to select the next one. Activated. Big VIP to the next before Image. Mask, 100, mask further -100 mask expansion. The same thing. Before we go to the next image, we have to multiply this by two, multiply by two inter. Now you are a number 910 that on is the same. I'm just going to select the pick whip, mask, double-click Andrew, Tango. Just going to say 100, inter -100, and dress is the same. Just make sure before you go to next image, multiply the first one. Alright? Now you have to write down this number, which is going to be 27, 44. Ready to write down number, mature. Now, I'm just going to bring back everything to can select this. 134 was the first that VS thought at this game. I'm just going to come back here. Now to animate this, make sure this is 134 and this is in the beginning. I'm just going to click on stopwatch and take it to the end. And right down to number 27, 44, 30 to 27, 44 to press Enter. And it's just going to be zoomed in on the first image, right? So now let's come back here. Alright, now, let's take a look at it. From the beginning is very fast. This is what we don't want. So I'm just going to setting the first one, shift, select the last one. I'm just right-click on it. Go to keyframe assistant. And from here, exponential scale. If you do that, you just going to create a lot of keyframe to smooth the animation. Now, let's pray again. Because of rendering and fling at the same time you get the letter lag. But when you explore it, it's gonna be very, very slow and unique Animation. Perfect. Now I'm just going to press Control M or can go to File Export and you can put it on Add to Render Queue for now. Make sure is H.264, which basically is by default. For the output. I'm just going to save a place to save my file. Here. I'm just going to create a folder. I'm just going to call it Animation and Comp One. Just going to change this to Animation. Let's save it. Now we can press on Render. Now it's finished. That's it. 4. Adding Soundtrack and Final Editing in Premiere Pro: As you see, we don't see the first image margin is going to start very quickly. So how to fix that? Let's go to Premier Pro. I'm just going to select my video. I'm just going to select my main Soundtrack, which in this case is interested lower bar Hans Zimmer. Now let's Click On Create. I'm just going to zoom in. Soundtrack is very long. I'm just going to drag it and select it here. And let's see, hold on Alt and just scroll here in this area, this area as well. So I'm just going to see my Soundtrack better. Drag this up, Click on the corner and drag it until here. Now everything is okay, but this is cool. But we have to just backward is a video. I'm just going to right-click on it. I'm just going to click on speed and reverse speed and press OK. Now it is gonna be, okay. It's gonna be something like this. I'm just going to drag this a bit forward, maybe 2 s. Let's go back to your Image Gallery. I'm going to drag number one and number 12. I just put it here. I'm just going dragging them on here. Number Image. I'm just going to drag it and I'm just going to drop it here. Just take a look. If I select this and it go to Effect Control. You can connect here and click you Effect Control. And a scale 134. Press Enter. Now, can you kind of spacebar? So we see this image a bit longer than it is going to move to our Animation, which is going to make it very smooth and very realistic. Alright, it's gonna be until here. Now I'm just going to drag the number 12. I'm just going to put it here. Again. I'm just going to select this, go to scale 1234. And it's going to be perfect.
