About Tiny Desk Video AI
Effective date: 28 October 2026 · Last updated: 28 October 2026.
Tiny Desk Video AI is an independent photo-to-performance video product at tinydeskvideoai.com. The maker supports a 10-second office-band parody: a band scene, a laughing lead close-up, a saxophone solo and a band finale. Choose one authorized adult portrait per role: lead required, with up to four optional companion musicians. The remaining musicians are fictional AI characters.
How it works
Select a photo for a preview on your device, then choose to upload it. Waffo PromptSift scans the generation instructions before a request can use credits. The model provider may decline a request under its own safety controls. When generation and technical delivery checks succeed, your video appears privately in My videos for authenticated viewing and download. The result is an AI-generated performance, not a recording of what the photographed person actually did.
The service integrates MiniMax's international API and MiniMax-H3-Max. The band output is 10 seconds, 9:16 and 768P, directed as one generated clip with four short scene beats; exact camera cuts and timing can vary. Role-photo upload and cast preparation do not create a video or consume generation credits. New band generation is available only when this site’s updated processing service is running and all submission checks pass. Audio is MiniMax-native original funk accompaniment with wordless vocals. The original Outstanding recording is not included or licensed by this service. Existing 10-second tasks retain their original specifications. See AI disclosure.
Pricing and fulfilment
The release uses one-time credit packs, with no subscription or automatic renewal. Each generation submission consumes 100 credits; purchased credits are valid for 12 calendar months from delivery. The public pricing page lists the three configured USD packages and their submission allowance. Credits are delivered only after verified payment confirmation; completed videos are available in My videos. Refunds and credits distinguishes a failed-task credit return from a purchase refund.
Independent product
Tiny Desk Video AI is not affiliated with or endorsed by NPR, Tiny Desk Concerts, MiniMax or any performer. The product name does not authorize use of another party's marks or imply participation by a celebrity. Do not use the service name or output to suggest endorsement by another party.
