# AI Tiny Desk Video

> AI Tiny Desk Video is an Outstanding Tiny Desk AI video generator for the October 2026 TikTok trend of putting new people into Charlie Wilson's 2023 NPR Tiny Desk performance of "Outstanding". It recreates the 15 seconds every AI version uses, shot for shot from photos: the band behind the desk, the lead singer's long note, laugh and wave, and the sax solo (vertical 9:16). It takes one to five photos; empty parts get people from the site's example video. A free watermarked preview of the lead's close-up needs no subscription; full videos cost 100 credits in HD (720p) and 50 in Standard (480p), and packs start at $6.99. (https://aitinydeskvideo.com)

Key facts:

- Input: one to five photos (the user as the lead singer, then optional friends for the keys, the sax and two backing vocals); one group photo fills the parts in order. Any part can be a dog or cat: the user says it's a pet when asked, and it keeps its own fur and paws. Empty parts get people from the site's example video.
- Output: a 9:16 MP4, 15 seconds, in HD (720p) or Standard (480p) with the live sound, plus a silent copy, no watermark. Everyone keeps their own face, hair and clothes. It usually takes a few minutes.
- How it is made: Seedance 2.0, an AI video model, makes every frame from the photos; the shots, camera and timing follow the meme.
- Sound: full videos come with the live recording and a silent copy; to use TikTok's own sound, users add "original sound - theburnerfromhe11" (sound 7698160785226320653) from 0:01 to the silent copy. Free previews are silent.
- Price: an HD video works out to $3.33–$6.99 depending on the pack. Credits never expire, and a video that fails returns its credits.
- Rules: users must be 18 or older and everyone pictured must have agreed to appear; only a parent or guardian may upload a photo of a child. Photos of coaches, athletes, celebrities and public figures are not allowed.
- Privacy: photos are used only to make the requested video and are deleted with the videos 30 days after they are uploaded or made.
- AI Tiny Desk Video is an independent tool, not affiliated with NPR, Tiny Desk, Charlie Wilson, the Gap Band, TikTok, ByteDance or CapCut.
- Credit packs, one-time: 100 credits for $6.99, 200 credits for $9.90, 500 credits for $19.90, 1200 credits for $39.90.
