Hey Product Hunt! 👋

If you've scrolled TikTok or Reels lately, you've probably seen it: Charlie Wilson's 2023 NPR Tiny Desk performance of "Outstanding", recast with AI so other people end up behind the desk. The moment everyone waits for is the singer turning to the camera, singing "Outstanding" and cracking up.

I wanted to make one with my friends and kept hitting the same walls with general AI video tools: one face at a time, prompts, clips drifting off the music, and the blurry keyboard player in the corner never getting swapped. So I built Tinydesk AI to recast the whole band from photos:

🎤 Tap a seat (lead vocals, sax, keys, backing left or right) and add one photo per person; only lead vocals is required

🎚️ Pick Lite (the 4-second close-up), Standard (10 s) or Full (all 19 s)

⬇️ Download a vertical MP4 with the band's own sound

What makes it different: it edits the real viral clip instead of re-creating the scene from a prompt, so the desk, the cuts and the timing stay exactly as people know them, and any seat you leave empty keeps the original musician.

New accounts get free credits for one 4-second Lite close-up, and failed renders are never charged. Please only use photos of adults who agreed to be in it. It's an independent fan project, not affiliated with NPR, Tiny Desk Concerts, Charlie Wilson or The Gap Band.

Would love your feedback, and I'd love to see who you put on lead vocals! 🎷
