# Tiny Desk AI Video Generator Canonical page: https://aitinydeskmeme.com/guides/tiny-desk-ai-video-generator Last updated: 2026-10-30 > This Tiny Desk AI video generator turns one to five photos into a 19-second band video. You add the photos, pick a resolution and press generate. The tool is right below, ready to use. ## Key facts - The generator makes one thing: a 19-second 9:16 vertical Tiny Desk style clip with five shots. - The original "Outstanding" sound is included, leveled to -14 LUFS, with no watermark. - Settings are limited to the photos, their order and the resolution; the price is 4, 8 or 20 credits. - There is no prompt box, no length setting and no free trial. - A failed video returns its credits, and a rejected photo costs nothing. ## What the Tiny Desk AI video generator makes Every video from the Tiny Desk AI video generator follows one fixed plan. It runs 19 seconds and has five shots: the band, a lead singer close-up, a sax solo, the band again and a final close-up. All cuts are hard cuts. AI builds each shot from your photos, so faces, hairstyles and outfits carry over. The original sound is lined up with the cuts, and the volume is set to -14 LUFS, a common loudness target for social video. ![Tiny Desk AI video generator result: a five-piece band made from five photos](https://cdn.potto.ai/tiny-desk/band-fill-poster.webp?v=dd081a2e71) *A result from the generator, made from five AI-generated photos.* ## What you add to the generator The only input is photos, from 1 to 5. The upload order sets the seat of each photo. - Photo 1 is the lead singer and is required. - Photos 2 to 5 are the sax player, the keyboard player and two backing singers. - Each photo shows one clear subject facing the camera: a person, a cartoon or game character, or a pet. - Real people must be adults who agree to appear. ![Input photo 1: lead singer for a Tiny Desk AI video](https://cdn.potto.ai/tiny-desk/band-photo-1.webp?v=b2c6e3bfc6) ![Input photo 2: sax player for a Tiny Desk AI video](https://cdn.potto.ai/tiny-desk/band-photo-2.webp?v=7096b5b6d0) ![Input photo 3: keyboard player for a Tiny Desk AI video](https://cdn.potto.ai/tiny-desk/band-photo-3.webp?v=0301ebb345) ![Input photo 4: backing singer for a Tiny Desk AI video](https://cdn.potto.ai/tiny-desk/band-photo-4.webp?v=211e80122a) ![Input photo 5: backing singer for a Tiny Desk AI video](https://cdn.potto.ai/tiny-desk/band-photo-5.webp?v=488fe4beec) ## Tiny Desk AI video generator settings The generator has one real setting, the resolution. Credits per video depend on it, not on the number of photos. - 480p: 4 credits, about $5.33 to $8 per video. - 720p: 8 credits, about $10.67 to $16 per video. - 1080p: 20 credits, about $26.67 to $40 per video. ## Credits and packs You pay with credits from a one-time pack. Nothing renews, credits never expire, and every pack works for every resolution. - Starter: $10 for 5 credits. - Popular: $20 for 10 credits. - Plus: $40 for 24 credits. - Pro: $100 for 75 credits. ## What the generator does not do The generator is built for one meme, so some things are fixed. You cannot type a prompt, change the length, switch to horizontal video or swap the song. There is no free trial and no preview before you pay. Those limits keep the timing right on the first try. If you want to see the shot plan first, the [Tiny Desk AI template guide](https://aitinydeskmeme.com/guides/tiny-desk-ai-template) times every shot. ## Speed, delivery and storage Most videos finish in about 5 to 8 minutes. You can close the page, and an email arrives when the video is ready. The same tool is on the [AI Tiny Desk Meme generator](https://aitinydeskmeme.com) home page. The finished MP4 stays in My videos for 30 days, and uploaded photos are deleted after 14 days. New to the flow?
