How to Make a Tiny Desk AI Video

A simple cast-to-video workflow with one fixed performance.

01

Assign your cast

Choose a clear, separate photo for the lead singer, keys, sax, and two backing singers.

02

Review and generate

Check all five roles, the output details, and the generation cost before submitting.

03

Watch your video

Follow the task in My videos. When the complete result is ready, watch it and download it.

What Your Video Includes

The confirmed delivery format is one 15-second, 720p video in a 9:16 portrait frame. Audio and watermark details will be confirmed with the performance preview.

Photos That Work for This Template

Use a clear portrait with one visible face, even lighting, and no objects covering the face. Choose a separate person for each role. Photo quality affects the output; AI may alter expressions and details.

Pricing and Generation Recovery

Choose 1 video for $9.90, 3 videos for $19.90, or 5 videos for $29.90 USD. Each submitted generation uses one generation from your balance. A confirmed technical failure returns that generation once recovery is complete. A new version of a completed video uses another generation.

About the Tiny Desk AI Trend

The Tiny Desk AI trend places a new cast into a band performance. This tool is being prepared for a fixed five-role workflow; it does not create an original song or clone a person’s voice. It is an independent project, with no affiliation to NPR or Tiny Desk Concerts.

Tiny Desk AI Questions

How many photos do I need?

Five photos: one for the lead singer, one for keys, one for sax, and one for each backing singer. Each slot represents a different performer.

Can I upload my own concert video?

This workflow uses a fixed performance. The form accepts role photos, not a custom concert video.

What happens if generation fails?

A confirmed technical failure enters recovery. Your task shows whether the generation return is pending or complete. An uncertain submission or temporary playback error is checked first, so a second paid task is not started automatically.

Can I make another version?

You can reuse an eligible cast from a previous task or replace the photos. Starting a new generation uses another generation; replaying or recovering the existing task does not.

Is it ready to use?

The interface is being prepared. Generation and purchases remain unavailable until the workflow, media, and service terms are ready.
