What the Tiny Desk Outstanding AI video generator does

The Tiny Desk Outstanding AI video generator from Outstanding Tiny Desk takes the viral Outstanding Tiny Desk clip and puts your faces into it. The clip is 19 seconds long: a close-up of the man in the red cap, a wide shot of the band at the desk, a saxophone solo, and the band again at the end. You choose which of the five people to replace. The song, the room, the camera cuts and the moves stay exactly as they were. Only the faces of the people you pick change.

The band at the desk in the Tiny Desk Outstanding clip

Who is in the clip

There are five slots. You is the man in the red Alabama cap who gets the close-ups at the start and in the middle. Lead singer sits at the keyboard in front in a white cap. Sax is the saxophone player in the navy hoodie with his own close-up near the end. Backup singer 1 stands on the left in a white polo, and Backup singer 2 stands at the back right in a red jacket and glasses. Most people start with You and add friends from there.

What you provide

One photo for each person you want to add. A clear, front-facing photo with the eyes visible works best, with the head and shoulders in frame and even light. Sunglasses, heavy filters, group photos and very small faces give the model less to copy. Everyone in your photos must be an adult who agreed to be in the video, and you confirm that before every render.

What happens to your photos

Your photos go to private storage that only this site can read. The finished video is stored the same way. Both are deleted after 7 days. They are not sold, shared, or used to train models.

Price and failed renders

Each video with one to five faces costs 10 credits. One video costs $9.90, and bigger packs bring it down to $6.99 per video. There is no subscription and credits never expire. The render usually finishes in a few minutes. If it fails or times out, the credits go back to your account and you can try again without paying twice. Download the MP4 from the page when it is ready and post it wherever you like.

Tiny Desk Outstanding FAQ

What is the Tiny Desk Outstanding AI video generator?

An online tool that swaps faces into the viral Outstanding Tiny Desk clip. You add a photo for one to five people, it renders the same 19-second performance with those faces, and you download an MP4.

How many faces can I replace?

One to five. Each slot is one person in the clip: You (red cap, close-ups), Lead singer, Sax, and two Backup singers. Slots you leave alone keep the original face.

When are my photos uploaded?

Only when you press Generate while signed in with enough credits. Picking photos, signing in and paying do not upload anything.

How long does it take?

Usually a few minutes. The page shows progress. If you close the tab, open the page again while signed in and it picks the render back up.

What if the result is bad or the render fails?

A failed or timed-out render gives its credits back automatically. For a refund, email support@tinydeskoutstanding.org with the payment date and the reason. We review each request and refund approved ones to your card.

Can I use photos of other people?

Only adults who agreed to be in the video. No children, no celebrities, and no one who has not said yes. You confirm this before every render.

Is this made by NPR or Tiny Desk?

No. Outstanding Tiny Desk is an independent fan tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by NPR or Tiny Desk Concerts.
