How do I make an Outstanding Tiny Desk AI video?
Add one singer portrait, confirm permission and sign in. A second saxophone-player portrait is optional. Review the 10-Credit cost and start generation. The performance reference, office setting and audio are supplied.
Can I replace the whole band with my friends?
Not yet. Photo 1 guides the lead singer. Add Photo 2 to replace the saxophone player too; otherwise that player keeps the reference identity. The backing vocalists and keyboardist keep their reference identities. If you would like to replace the whole band, email us with the number of people and the roles you want to replace. There is no confirmed release date for this feature.

Can I make it with just one selfie?
Yes. One clear portrait is enough for the singer-only version shown in the main sample. Leave the optional saxophone photo empty. Add a second portrait if you want both featured performers replaced.
Is this the Outstanding Tiny Desk AI trend?
This Outstanding Tiny Desk AI template replaces the lead singer from your photo, with an optional second photo for the saxophone player. Its reference is a character-replacement parody of Charlie Wilson’s NPR performance of Outstanding. Watch our entire sample to decide whether this is the sequence you want; this tool does not recreate every edit or replace every person.
Will the faces and lip movements match exactly?
Your photos guide the two featured identities, but this is a newly generated performance. Likeness, expressions, hands, clothing, instruments and cut timing can differ. Singing and musical timing are not guaranteed to be word-perfect or frame-perfect.
Does it include the original Outstanding recording?
The selected sample plays the audio delivered with that generated video. Your result receives newly generated audio guided by our prepared performance reference. We do not attach the original Charlie Wilson recording as a separate soundtrack or guarantee the same voice, lyrics, music or word-for-word lip sync. Listen to both samples before buying.
Can I choose another song or upload audio?
Custom songs and separate audio uploads are not supported. Audio is generated with the video using the supplied reference. Included audio does not provide a separate music license; check applicable rights and platform rules before posting.
Can I generate the full 19-second video?
This template makes about 15 seconds, using an excerpt of the roughly 19-second reference. It covers the backing-band opening, singer close-up, saxophone solo and return to the backing singers. A full 19-second output is not currently available. Cut timing can vary.
What do I receive?
An approximately 15-second portrait MP4 in the 768p output tier, with audio and no VidMello watermark. The exact pixel dimensions can vary slightly from 9:16. Preview and download from private History within 30 days.
How much does one video cost?
One video uses 10 Credits. Starter costs $9.90 once for 10 Credits, enough for one video. Larger one-time packs appear below. There is no subscription or free generation, and signing up does not include free Credits.
What if generation fails or I want another version?
Reserved Credits return automatically for a technical generation failure. A completed creative variation still uses Credits. Another take costs another 10 Credits; see the refund policy for details.

Are my photos and videos private?
Photos stay on your device until you sign in and submit. Uploads and results are private by default, are shared with an external provider for generation and are not automatically added to this sample page. Download within 30 days. See the privacy policy for storage and deletion information.
