Midjourney AI Parameters Explained | What are Parameters in Midjourney
TLDRIn this video, you'll learn about the 10 most commonly used parameters in MidJourney AI. These parameters, added at the end of prompts, help adjust the output. Key parameters include aspect ratio (adjusting width-to-height ratio), version (setting the algorithm version), chaos (setting randomness), no (excluding elements), stylize (defining image style strength), quality (detail level), image weight (importance of image vs text), text weight (importance of specific words), stop (stopping image generation), and seed (maintaining consistency across images). Each parameter is explained with examples, making it easier to understand their impact on image generation.
Takeaways
- 📐 Parameters in Midjourney allow users to modify outputs by adding them to the end of any prompt.

Q & A
What are parameters in MidJourney?
-Parameters in MidJourney are modifiers that you can add to any prompt to adjust the output. They begin with a double dash and override any default settings.
How do you set the aspect ratio parameter?
-You set the aspect ratio parameter by typing '--AR' or '--aspect' followed by the width to height ratio. For example, '--AR 2:3' sets a vertical dimension.
What does the version parameter do?
-The version parameter, indicated by '--V', sets the algorithm version MidJourney uses. The default version is 5.2, but you can specify previous versions.
How does the chaos parameter affect image generation?
-The chaos parameter, '--C', sets the randomness of the image. Higher chaos values lead to more varied results, while lower values produce more predictable outcomes. It ranges from 0 to 100, with the default being 0.
What is the purpose of the '--no' parameter?
-The '--no' parameter allows you to exclude specific elements from your image. For example, '--no leaves' will generate an image without leaves.
How do you use the stylize parameter?
-The stylize parameter, '--S', controls how strongly you want the image style to be. It ranges from 1 to 1000, with the default setting at 100. For instance, '--S 750' applies a strong stylization.
What values can be used for the quality parameter and what do they mean?
-The quality parameter allows for more or less detailed images and can save GPU usage. The accepted values are 0.25, 0.5, and 1, with lower values producing less detailed images.
What does the image weight parameter do?
-The image weight parameter adjusts the importance of the image versus the text portion of the prompt. It ranges from 0 to 2, with the default value being 1. Higher values make the image more prominent in the prompt.
How do you set text weights in a prompt?
-Text weights are set using double colons. For example, 'man::1 holding a dog::3' tells MidJourney that the dog should be three times more important in the image than the man.
What is the function of the stop parameter?
-The stop parameter, '--stop', halts the image generation process. You can use it whenever you need to stop the generation.
How can the seed parameter be used to maintain consistency?
-The seed parameter, '--seed', maintains consistency across multiple generated images. By using the same seed number with the same prompt, you will get similar final images.
Outlines
📐 Understanding Mid-Journey Parameters
This paragraph introduces the topic of the video, which is the 10 most commonly used parameters in Mid-Journey. It explains that parameters are modifiers added to prompts to adjust the output and that they all begin with a double dash. The first parameter discussed is the aspect ratio, which adjusts the width-to-height ratio of the image. Examples of vertical and landscape dimensions are provided, demonstrating how to set different aspect ratios.
🌀 Version and Chaos Parameters
The video continues with the version parameter, which sets the algorithm version used by Mid-Journey. The current default version is 5.2. Next is the chaos parameter, which adjusts the randomness of the image, ranging from 0 to 100. Higher chaos values result in more varied initial image grids, while lower values produce more consistent results. An example of setting chaos to 50 is provided, showing different images in the four grids.
🚫 Excluding Elements with the 'No' Parameter
The 'No' parameter allows users to exclude specific elements from their images. By using the 'no' parameter, users can refine the image by removing undesired elements, such as leaves in this example. The video demonstrates how to apply this parameter to achieve different concepts by excluding certain elements.
🎨 Stylize and Quality Parameters
This section discusses the 'Stylize' parameter, which controls the strength of the image's style, ranging from 1 to 1000, with a default setting of 100. An example of setting stylize to 750 is shown. The 'Quality' parameter is also covered, which adjusts the level of detail in the images to save GPU usage. Accepted values for quality are 0.25, 0.5, and 1, with lower values producing less detailed images.
⚖️ Image Weight Parameter
The 'Image Weight' parameter determines the importance of the image versus the text in the prompt. It ranges from 0 to 2, with a default value of 1. Examples are provided to show how varying image weight affects the resemblance to the original image. Higher image weight results in images more similar to the original prompt image.
📝 Text Weight and Stop Parameters
The 'Text Weight' parameter uses double colons to set the weight on specific words in the prompt, with a default weight of 1. An example demonstrates how to prioritize certain words in the prompt. The 'Stop' parameter is introduced next, allowing users to stop image generation at any point by including '--stop' in the prompt.
🔢 Seed Parameter and Consistency
The final parameter discussed is the 'Seed' parameter, which helps maintain consistency across multiple generated images. The video explains how to find and use the seed number to generate similar final images using the same seed number and prompt. Examples show how using the same seed results in very similar images.
📜 Recap and Closing
