How to make a Tiny Desk AI video
Last updated:
You can make your own Tiny Desk AI video in about five minutes. Here is the full process, plus a few tips that make the difference between a funny clip and an obvious fake.
1. Pick the right photo
Choose a recent, sharp photo of one person looking at the camera. Soft indoor light matches the warm look of a desk concert better than harsh sun. Avoid sunglasses, hats that cover the face and beauty filters.
2. Match the angle
The lead singer mostly faces the camera with the head tilted slightly. A photo taken at eye level, with your head turned a little, blends in more naturally than a straight-down selfie.
3. Upload and generate
Sign in and drop the photo into the generator. Every video is the full 15-second moment, so there is no length to pick.
4. Confirm consent and generate
Tick the consent box to confirm the photo is yours or that you have permission, then start the render. You can leave the page while it works.
5. Post it the right way
Download the MP4 from the generator or from My videos. Add a caption that sets up the joke (“me after the group project”), keep the AI label and tag it so people can find the trend.
