How to Make Outstanding Tiny Desk AI Video: A First-Take Checklist

Prepare portraits, choose roles and credits, then review and download your 19-second desk concert.

BY TINY DESK OUTSTANDING AI ·

Prepare your lead portrait

Start with a clear photo of one consenting adult. A front-facing face, even lighting and an unobstructed hairline give the model useful details for the lead's close-ups. If you have a group image, crop each participant into a separate portrait before assigning roles.

Photo selection guide

Build the band

Upload the lead photo in the homepage generator. Sax, keys and two backing singers each have an optional photo slot. You can supply portraits for any of these roles or leave them empty for invented AI musicians. The scene and shot sequence are already set; you do not need to write a prompt.

Choose a look and a model

An outfit description is optional. Keep it simple, such as matching blue jackets, and avoid expecting every detail to stay identical between shots. Choose an available model and resolution; the generator shows the credit cost before you submit. Seedance 2.0 Mini at 480p costs 10 credits, while other choices can cost more.

Generate and check your video

Confirm the people in your photos are consenting adults and start the job. Credits are reserved when it starts and returned if the job fails. Once ready, play the result in My videos and check faces, role assignments and the sax cut at 13 seconds. Download the 19-second vertical MP4 when you are happy with it.

Post with context

The download includes the reference sound. Before sharing, check the platform's music rules and, where appropriate, mute the file and add an available licensed track from its library. Label the result as AI-generated and do not present it as a real performance.
