OUTSTANDING TINY DESK GUIDE
ChatGPT Tiny Desk: From a Prompt to a Desk-Concert Video
A ChatGPT Tiny Desk workflow can start with a written idea for a desk-side performance. In this independent studio, create the video by assigning photos to roles: one lead is required and up to four bandmates are optional. The studio produces a 19-second vertical video with sound and is not an official NPR product.
Can ChatGPT help write a Tiny Desk prompt?
A writing assistant can help organize a cast, suggest a non-branded outfit or make a brief shot list. An example request is: “Help me describe a desk-side band with a lead singer, two backing singers, keyboard and saxophone.”
The available image and video features of any assistant can vary by product and plan. Do not assume a prompt automatically transfers your photos or creates a task in this site.
How do I make the video on this site?
Open the studio, upload a clear lead photo and assign optional photos to the four bandmate slots. Choose a resolution in Advanced settings, check the credit cost and create the task. The site builds its own prompt; a long external prompt is not required.
Each photo must show an adult who agreed to its use. Review the completed video because faces, roles and timing may differ from the references.
What does it cost and include?
A 19-second video costs 10 credits at 480p, 60 at 720p, or 120 at 1080p. A one-time 10-credit pack starts at $9.90.
The finished video includes the studio soundtrack. Custom audio or voice upload is not offered in this studio. Check platform rules and obtain any rights required to share the soundtrack.
