What can I do for free?+
Read the guides, explore the default cast, select replacement photos, rotate role assignments and check the updated photo avatars. You can also copy the creative brief from the Outstanding Tiny Desk AI template. These preparation actions do not create a generation task or charge a payment.
What happens after I preview my cast?+
The cast preview shows the photos assigned to each role. A generated video adds movement, camera cuts and the performance. Review the price and confirm permission for your images when you choose to generate.
What does video generation cost?+
An account video uses 2 credits for 8 seconds or 4 credits for 15 seconds. A single guest video costs $6.90 or $9.90 respectively. Credit packs are one-time purchases, with no subscription. The quoted price is shown before you continue.
Which photos should I prepare?+
Use one well-lit subject per replacement photo, with a clear face and distinct clothing. Keep the preset characters in roles you do not want to replace. Follow how to make an Outstanding Tiny Desk AI video for the full walkthrough and review checklist.
