# How the Outstanding Desk AI Video Is Made

Canonical: https://outstandingtinydesk.app/how-it-works

1. Upload one photo. One adult, facing the camera, face visible; the uploader
   crops to 9:16.
2. The service creates a still of the same person behind a small wooden desk
   with a vintage microphone. That still becomes the first frame.
3. A video model animates one continuous 15-second performance from that frame:
   the first line, the band behind, and a short smile to camera, with
   model-generated live sound.
4. The finished MP4 is stored in your account and appears in My videos.

## Photo requirements

Front-facing, sharp, even light, one person, no sunglasses, no group photos,
no large brand logos. Celebrity photos, minors and logo-heavy images may be
rejected by the model; a failed render returns the credit.

## Limits

The result is fiction and an approximation of likeness. It is not a recording
of you, a real concert clip or a reproduction of a real song. This site is not
affiliated with NPR or any artist.
