Intro
Rhonda introduces the video's topic: creating a database to store prompts and sample images for easy access and reuse. She highlights the advantage of storing prompts with their corresponding images, unlike simple text files. She mentions that the tutorial is in response to requests about her prompt database.
Setting Up Airtable
Rhonda guides viewers through setting up a free account on airtable.com. She navigates the sign-up process, which includes answering some initial questions. She then shows how to bypass the sample bases provided by Airtable to create a blank app.
Configuring the Blank Base
Rhonda explains that the blank base comes with a 14-day free trial of the team plan, but assures viewers that everything needed can be done on the free plan. She guides viewers through dismissing pop-up tours and extension offers. She then demonstrates how to delete unnecessary fields and customize the remaining ones: renaming "Name" to "Image Generator," changing the "Attachments" field to "Sample Image," and renaming the last field to "Prompt" with a long text format.
Viewing and Organizing Prompts
To view the sample images, Rhonda instructs viewers to create a gallery view. She explains two options for organizing prompts: storing all prompts in one table or duplicating the table to create separate tables for each image generator. Rhonda prefers the latter and demonstrates how to duplicate the table and rename them for different image generators like Midjourney, DALL-E, and Canva AI.
Adding Prompts and Images
Rhonda demonstrates how to add prompts and images to the database. She copies a prompt from Midjourney, pastes it into the prompt field, copies the corresponding image, and pastes it into the sample image field. She also shows how to add a name or description for the prompt. To add new prompts, she explains how to click "Add Record" in the lower right corner or insert records before or after existing ones.
Using the Pre-Made Template
Rhonda mentions that she will provide a link to a pre-made prompt database template. She explains that to use the template, viewers should click "Copy Base" next to the name to add it to their own Airtable account.
