The performance is already there.
Watch the source clip first. Its setting, outfits, instruments, and actions define the performance you are personalizing. Face replacement aims to retain those details throughout the edit.
YOUR FACE. THE TEMPLATE’S PERFORMANCE.

What Is Tiny Desk AI
Tiny Desk AI replaces selected faces in an existing office-concert template video with faces from your photos. The template supplies the room, bodies, outfits, instruments, actions, and camera movement. Your portrait identifies the face to put on a specific performer.
This Tiny Desk AI generator uses one fixed template-video face replacement workflow: review the source performance, then assign your photos to Lead singer, Keys, and Sax. A Lead singer photo is required; the two supporting portraits are optional. The current site offers a free setup preview and Waffo test checkout. Video processing and live paid checkout are not enabled.
Your photo identifies the face.
A clear adult portrait identifies the replacement face. The performer’s body, clothing, hairstyle, and voice come from the template. Inspect the output for unintended changes around the edited face.
Match each face to a person.
Upload a Lead singer portrait first. Add Keys and Sax portraits only for supporting faces you want changed. Empty optional slots keep their existing template faces; they do not create new musicians.
Sound follows the template.
Face replacement does not create a song or clone your voice. Retaining cleared template audio depends on processing support. No “Outstanding” recording is supplied. Check permitted use before sharing.

How to Make a Tiny Desk AI Video
Step 1 Review the Fixed Video
Watch the fixed performance and identify Lead singer, Keys, and Sax. Check face visibility, head turns, and microphone coverage. This source clip is already configured for the tool. The performance, outfits, instruments, and timing come from that video.
Step 2 Upload and Match Faces
Upload one clear adult portrait for Lead singer. Keys and Sax are optional; leave either slot empty to retain that original face. Use JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 10 MB. Check each role label before continuing. A Sax portrait stays assigned to Sax even when Keys is empty.
Step 3 Preview Your Setup
Review the fixed source and your face assignments in the settings preview. Photos stay in your browser and this step uses no credits. When real video processing opens, an actual successful edit will be required before an MP4 can be reviewed and downloaded.
A MORE CONSIDERED STARTING POINT
Tiny Desk AI Video Generator vs. Other Tools
A template face replacement workflow starts with an existing video. A photo-to-video workflow creates footage around an image. Compare the required inputs and intended edit below; this is a workflow comparison, not a claim that every competing service behaves alike.
| Your workflow | This template face replacement workflow | A photo-to-video workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Video input | An existing template video plus face references | A photo and instructions for new footage |
| Performance | Aim to retain source actions, bodies, and outfits | The model generates a performance |
| Other people | Unmapped template faces stay unchanged | People depend on the generation brief |
| Framing and timing | Taken from the source; output options need confirmation | Depend on the model and request |
| Audio | Cleared template sound, where supported | Depends on audio generation support |
| Current availability | Free setup preview; face replacement pending | Depends on the chosen service |
GET THE LITTLE DETAILS RIGHT
Tiny Desk AI Prompt & Settings
A Tiny Desk AI prompt identifies the source performer, assigns the matching photo, and asks to preserve the template’s bodies, outfits, actions, instruments, camera, background, and timing. Keep unmapped people unchanged. Supply the actual video input: a prompt and portrait alone cannot identify the source clip.
Copy the fixed template’s complete editing instructions and keep the three role assignments intact: Lead singer is required, while Keys and Sax are optional. The guide explains portrait selection and checks for identity drift. Uploading a different photo changes the face reference; it does not change the source performance.

Outstanding Tiny Desk AI
The Outstanding Tiny Desk AI variation personalizes a soulful office-band template. The chosen source supplies the performance; your photos identify which faces to replace. The meme name references a song, not a special editing algorithm or an included commercial soundtrack.
The dedicated guide explains the song context, video-editing prompt, role mapping, and common artifacts. Source templates must be original or permitted fan-made assets with appropriate audio rights. No artist is a paid feature or sponsor.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST ENCORE
FAQ
What does Tiny Desk AI actually do?
It is designed to replace selected faces in an existing office-concert video using uploaded portraits. The template supplies the performance and setting. The current frontend previews your setup; actual video face replacement is not connected yet.
How do I make a Tiny Desk AI video with my face?
Review the fixed video, upload a Lead singer portrait, and optionally add Keys and Sax portraits. Check the labels and preview your setup. When processing opens, generate the edit, inspect the result, and download it. You do not need to film yourself performing.
Is Tiny Desk AI free, and what do paid videos cost?
Setup previews are free. One free watermarked output is planned at launch. One-time packs are $8.99 for one video, $18.99 for three, and $25.99 for five. Waffo test checkout is available, with no real charges or video credits. Live paid checkout is not open; there is no subscription.
What photo should I upload for face replacement?
Use a sharp adult portrait with one visible face, even lighting, and no heavy filter or obstruction. A similar angle to the target performer helps comparison. JPEG, PNG, and WebP files up to 10 MB are accepted.
Can I replace several faces, or just the singer?
Lead singer is required. You can also map a portrait to Keys, Sax, or both, for up to three target faces. Empty Keys or Sax slots keep those original faces. Actual multi-person editing depends on the processing provider; the current preview saves settings and does not produce a finished face swap.
Will the video use my voice or include the “Outstanding” recording?
No voice cloning is included. A result may retain cleared template audio where supported. The original “Outstanding” recording is not provided, embedded, or downloaded, and adding your face does not grant music rights.
Can I change the performance, outfits, camera, or duration?
Those details come from the fixed source video. Face replacement aims to preserve them. The frame selector records an output preference. Available crops, duration, resolution, and audio retention need confirmation with the processing provider. There is no template switcher or new camera view.
Are my photos uploaded, and when can I download a result?
Photos currently stay in your browser; saved drafts contain settings, not images. Face replacement and MP4 downloads await the connected service. A download will require a real successful task and published processing and retention terms.
