Start your Tiny Desk AI video with one clear portrait. Use a solo photo with a visible face, even lighting and the outfit you want the performer to wear.
Create a Tiny Desk AI duet by assigning a different portrait to the saxophone player. Keep the roles separate; unassigned performers get new fictional adult identities.
Review your Tiny Desk AI result across the opening, close-ups and saxophone moment. Look for consistent identities after each cut, natural hands and a believable instrument performance.
For Tiny Desk AI, choose a sharp portrait with both eyes visible. Avoid heavy filters, deep shadows, tiny faces and a second person in the same image.
The photo guides your Tiny Desk AI character’s face, hair, clothing and accessories. A hat or glasses should come from your portrait, without forcing the original performer’s look.
For a two-person Tiny Desk AI video, prepare separate photos and decide who sings and who plays saxophone. Only use images you have permission to edit.
Try Tiny Desk AI with just your portrait for a reaction clip or a playful profile post. Let the singer carry the expressive moment while the band keeps its familiar roles.
Use Tiny Desk AI to give one person the mic and another the saxophone spotlight. Separate portraits make the role assignment clearer than a group picture.

Tiny Desk AI is a photo-to-performance trend that places a new person into a compact concert scene. The Outstanding version is recognizable for its expressive lead singer, close band setup and saxophone cutaway.
Tiny Desk AI supports up to two portrait roles: the lead singer and the saxophone player. The singer is the main role; the second portrait is optional. Leave it empty for a newly invented adult saxophone player.
Tiny Desk AI assigns your photos only to their selected roles. Unassigned musicians get new fictional adult identities for each generation, kept consistent within the clip. Their positions and performance follow the reference. AI may retain source details; review the result.
Tiny Desk AI is reference-guided video editing. The portrait guides appearance while the reference guides movement and cuts. AI can reinterpret details, so identity consistency, hands and timing need review; exact frame matching is not guaranteed.
Your Tiny Desk AI download is a vertical MP4 of about 19 seconds with the original reference soundtrack included, just like the demo. We attach the matching audio after rendering the visuals. This does not clone your voice or record a new vocal performance.
Sign in to generate a Tiny Desk AI video. Standard 480p costs 70 credits and HD 720p costs 160 credits, for either one or two portrait roles. The 70-credit Starter pack covers one 480p video; the 40-credit Experience pack and free gift credits are insufficient.
The second portrait is assigned specifically to the saxophone player in Tiny Desk AI. This Beta edit may still miss the role or retain source features. Inspect the solo before sharing. A completed video with imperfect likeness is different from a technical generation failure.
A failed Tiny Desk AI task returns its reserved credits to your StagePair balance. This is not an automatic cash refund. A temporary download or storage issue is retried using the existing result; check My videos for progress and failure details.
