Animating Midjourney images with Photoshop and After Effects

Midjourney is one of the most powerful AI Art Generation programs on the market. The only issue with Midjourney is that you can’t animate the amazing images you create…That is where this course comes in!

By utilising the additional tools and techniques within the Adobe Suite we will be able to animate the amazing AI images that Midjourney creates with a subtle yet realistic camera move. If you don’t have access to Midjourney then that is fine! I will be supplying my image for you or you can use one of the many other free ai image generators shown in the second video of this course! This course is reliant on the use of Photoshop and After Effects. You can get a free trial of Adobe photoshop and After Effects and there will be a lesson and links highlighting this.

The prerequisites for this course are as follows: You will need an internet connection, an email address, Photoshop and After Effects. As mentioned above you can obtain free trials of both photoshop and After Effects.
