08 / Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Outstanding Tiny Desk AI Band

How do I make an outstanding tiny desk ai band video with five friends?

To create an outstanding tiny desk ai band video, select Band mode in the generator, upload either 1 group picture showing all five people or five individual portraits, and initiate generation. The engine automatically maps your faces into Charlie Wilson's 2023 desk concert with synchronized live performance audio.

Does the outstanding tiny desk ai band mode cost more than solo mode?

No. The outstanding tiny desk ai band mode costs exactly the same as Solo mode: $9.99 for 1 video (1 credit), 3 videos for $19.90, or 5 videos for $29.90. There is zero surcharge for replacing five performers instead of one.

Can I use just one group photo instead of uploading five separate photos?

Yes. You can upload 1 group photo containing all five people. The algorithm automatically detects all five faces and assigns them to the band roles based on their spatial positions. If you prefer specific control over who plays the sax or sings lead, upload five single photos into slots 1 through 5.

Which role does each person get in the 5-piece tiny desk ai band?

The band includes five distinct roles: Picture 1 is the lead singer (seated in the center wearing sunglasses), Picture 2 plays the keyboard, Picture 3 plays the saxophone, and Pictures 4 and 5 are the two rhythm backup vocalists. Put the person celebrating a milestone in Picture 1 for maximum screen time.

Is the Charlie Wilson 'Outstanding' song audio included automatically?

Yes. The live desk performance audio of Charlie Wilson singing The Gap Band's classic 'Outstanding' is embedded and pre-synced directly into your final MP4 video. You do not need to download, trim, or align audio in third-party editors like CapCut.

What happens if my outstanding tiny desk ai band video render fails?

If an outstanding tiny desk ai band render fails due to a pipeline timeout or facial detection refusal, your credit is immediately returned to your account balance automatically. You will never be charged for an incomplete or failed render.

Are uploaded group photos kept private or used to train AI models?

All images uploaded for the generator are private, encrypted via TLS 1.3, and automatically permanently deleted after 24 hours. We never sell your photos or use them to train public generative AI models.

Can I post my finished video on TikTok and Reels?

Yes. The output is a standard 15-second 9:16 vertical MP4 without watermarks, perfectly tailored for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Simply toggle the platform's AI-generated content label when publishing to comply with community standards.
