Baby Lip Sync not working? Fixes for common problems and a free redo
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
A failed Baby Lip Sync run is refunded automatically, but a finished clip is not redone for free, even if a face drifts or a mouth looks odd. Every pack includes bonus previews, so check your photo in one before you spend the credit on the full clip.
What comes back and what does not
- Back automatically: a run that ends with an error and no video.
- Not back: a finished clip where a face changes from your photo, a mouth looks stiff or an extra person appears. This is a result, not a failed render.
- A new run: another photo or option costs 1 credit, and a 10-second retry is among the cheapest on the site.
- Unused packs: refundable within 7 days, see the refund policy.
What to check in the preview before re-running
Make sure every face is recognisable, there are only your singers and nothing is written anywhere. The three fix guides cover the usual misses: a face changes in the swing (guide), the mouths or the swing look odd (guide), and a second person or text appears (guide). Previews per pack: 1 ($8.99), 3 ($16.99) and 5 ($25.99).

Baby Lip Sync video: why does a face change when the camera swings, and how do I fix it?
A face drifts when the photo is dark, small or turned away, because the camera swings from one face to the next. Use sharp, well-lit, front-facing head-and-shoulders photos, run a 5-second bonus preview, then make the full video.
Quick fixes
- Pick a photo where the eyes are open and the face is fully visible.
- Use even light, without a strong shadow across the face.
- Start with the default place and clothes before changing both.
- Keep hair, hats and scarves off the face in the photo.
Why it happens
Each face fills the frame, then leaves it, then returns at the edge. Sharp photos give the model a clean face for each one to keep through all of it.
Baby Lip Sync video: the mouths or the camera swing look odd, what can I do?
Mouths that mime a song and a camera swing between faces are hard for a video model, so a mouth can look stiff or the swing can jerk. Start with the default place and clothes, keep the photos plain, and check a 5-second bonus preview.
Quick fixes
- Use a whole-body photo with a clear outline.
- Start with the default sunny street and the clothes from your photos.
- Pick bright daylight: the faces and the mouths show best in even light.
- Run again rather than changing several options at once.
Why it happens
The model has to draw mouths that move, a moving camera and several faces, and it redraws all of them every frame. A second run often draws them cleaner.
Baby Lip Sync video: an extra person or some text appears, how do I stop it?
There should be only your singers, two or three, and nothing should be written anywhere. An extra person or a stray sign usually comes from a photo with someone else beside you or a printed shirt. Use a photo of one subject each, wear plain clothes, and check a 5-second bonus preview.
Quick fixes
- Crop out other people, pets and toys.
- Avoid shirts with printed words or logos.
- Avoid photos with a poster, a sign or a screen behind you.
- Use a plain background.
Why it happens
The model sometimes turns a second face in a photo into an extra singer, and printed words on a shirt can be redrawn as a sign. A clean photo of one subject each avoids both.
Questions people ask
Is a failed video charged?
No. The credit is reserved when the run starts and returned if it fails. Failed runs return their credit automatically.

How do I avoid paying twice for a bad result?
Run a bonus preview first and fix the photo: one subject per photo, open faces, the mouth visible. Only then spend the credit on the full clip.
Can I get my money back instead?
Only for packs you have not used, within 7 days of buying. Credits that already produced a video stay spent.
Will the same photo give the same result?
Not exactly. Every run differs a little, even with the same photo.
