Every pack uses the same generation workflow and delivers the same output format. The larger packs change the quantity and effective cost per video, rather than unlocking a different model or a higher resolution. The comparison shows the current totals in US dollars; check the amount displayed on Stripe’s checkout page before paying. Your bank may apply its own currency conversion or card fees, which are separate from the displayed pack price.
What one video includes
Each performance is approximately 18 seconds long and delivered as a vertical 9:16 MP4 at 720×1280. You receive a version with the original soundtrack and a silent copy. The finished download has no added watermark. You can replace the lead, keyboard player, sax player and two backing performers. Replacing all five uses the same 10 credits as replacing a single person, so choose the cast for the joke rather than for a different price tier.
The stage starts with five dogs. Add your own adult portraits to the positions you want to change, keep dogs as the backing band, or remove a dog to retain the original performer at that position. Review those choices before submitting. The tool uses a fixed performance template; it does not sell an open prompt editor, custom song uploads or a longer music video as part of these packs. Read the template guide for the exact structure.

Pick a pack around your plans
A single-video pack suits someone who wants one finished joke for a birthday, a group chat or a sports conversation. A three-video pack gives you room for separate casts, such as yourself on lead, a friends version and an adult team version. The ten-video pack is for a series of distinct performances. You do not need to buy the largest pack to include five people: cast size does not change the number of credits required for one render.
If you are still choosing photos, start with the guide to making a band with friends. It explains one clear face per image, role assignment and why a recent front-facing portrait is easier to interpret than a busy group photo. For a phone-only workflow, the iPhone tutorial covers selecting images, waiting for the job and saving the finished file. Planning first can save a generation you would otherwise spend fixing an avoidable input mistake.
From checkout to download
- Sign in with your email code so the pack and future videos belong to your account.
- Choose a pack and complete the secure Stripe checkout after reviewing its total.
- Return to the generator, confirm your cast and parody statement, then start the render.
Generation takes several minutes and may take longer when the provider is busy. You can close the page and sign in again to check progress and download a completed result. A purchase buys credits; it is not a promise of an instant render or an exact delivery deadline. Avoid repeatedly submitting the same cast while one job is already running. Check the account history before starting another attempt if you are unsure whether the first one completed.
Know the refund difference
A failed render and a card refund are different events. When a job reaches a confirmed failed state, its credits return automatically for another attempt. A payment refund instead returns an eligible purchase through the payment provider. Review the refund policy before buying, particularly if you intend to purchase more credits than you will use immediately. Contact support about a clearly broken completed video within seven days rather than assuming every difference in likeness is a technical failure.
AI can preserve a strong resemblance without making an exact twin. Lighting, glasses, pose, facial hair and the source performance all affect the result. Use only adult subjects and an obvious parody context. The soundtrack may be muted by a social platform; the silent download lets you choose an available sound inside that platform. Neither a paid render nor a larger pack changes copyright ownership, supplies a commercial song license or guarantees that a platform will distribute the post.
Pricing and credit questions
How do credits pay for a video?
One Tiny Desk video uses 10 credits, whether you replace one performer or all five. Choose the adult portraits and review the total before starting. Credits pay for generation, rather than for downloading the two finished copies.
Do credits expire or renew automatically?
Credits in these one-time packs never expire. Buying a pack does not start a subscription or schedule a recurring payment. You can keep the unused balance in your account and return when you are ready to make another performance.
What happens if generation fails?
Confirmed failed renders automatically return their credits to your account. This restores generation credit rather than sending a card refund. If a completed result is clearly broken, contact support within seven days so we can review it under the refund policy.
Can I request a card refund?
See the refund policy for unused-pack requests within 14 days and the conditions that apply after credits have been used. Send support the email address used for the purchase and the relevant order details. Never include a full card number or security code.
Are music rights or commercial use included?
The output includes the original song and a silent copy. Purchasing generation credits is not a music license, endorsement or permission to use another person’s likeness. Keep the result an obvious personal parody, and check platform rules before posting.
