So-called zoom-out videos (or “infinite zooms”) are trending on social media right now, and not without a reason. The rapid development of artificial intelligence has allowed us to create stunning visuals within seconds and given us more and more creative choices. With the introduction of Midjourney as well as Photoshop’s Beta, we have the possibility of enlarging a source image and filling the surrounding area with consistent visual material. The boom of new stylized content was inevitable. However, it’s only easy to execute if you know a trick or two. That’s why we prepared a thorough step-by-step guide on how to make your own impressive zoom-out video. It includes multiple workflows and a fair share of knowledge we acquired through trial and error. Let’s get right to it! As mentioned above, there are several AI tools that facilitate expanding the canvas of an image and filling it with generated content (Adobe Firefly in Photoshop (Beta) is one of the best). However, to keep things simple for this tutorial, I will be using Midjourney. If you have never heard of this neural network before, make sure you understand the basics before reading any further. In this article, we provided a detailed explanation of how to use the products from their independent research lab, and in a separate article, we delved into the process of prompting. I chose Midjourney because I like the quality and photorealism of the pictures their AI produces, as well as the (almost perfect!) consistency of the new...
