A Guided Tour of Midjourney on the Web
A narrated desktop walkthrough that turns one image prompt into a result, a variation, and a tour of the wider app.
Field notes / why it works
The opening gallery shows the kind of output the viewer can expect while the first creation starts by 0:03; a four-image result appears around 0:15. The tour then makes the output actionable: it opens a result at 0:19, demonstrates a variation around 0:44, and shows a new set at 0:53 before moving through settings, organization, rooms, and discovery.
Plate 01 / The format in one breath
A calm, narrated desktop screen tour begins on a visually rich gallery, shows one core task from input to result, then demonstrates how to inspect and extend that result. The second half visits settings, organization, collaboration, and inspiration; each feature is shown through a visible UI action rather than an abstract claim.
Why it works
- The core workflow starts immediately: the narrator introduces image creation by 0:03, and the four-result view appears around 0:13–0:19.
- The result creates the next demonstration: a result opens in the lightbox at 0:19, a variation action follows around 0:44, and four related results appear at 0:53.
- The tour broadens in a usable order: settings at 0:58, organize at 1:09, rooms at 1:21, and Explore at 1:39. The viewer sees a path through the product, not a disconnected feature list.
