Chipmunks Dance AI not working? Fixes for common problems and a free redo

By MimicZip Team · Updated:

Short answer

A failed Chipmunks Dance run is refunded automatically, but a finished clip is not redone for free, even if the faces drift mid-spin or two dancers look alike. Every pack includes bonus previews, so check your photos 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 faces drift, the dancers swap faces or a fourth person appears. This is a result, not a failed render.
  • A new run: other photos or another option cost 1 credit, and a retry costs the same whether it has one dancer or three.
  • Unused packs: refundable within 7 days, see the refund policy.

What to check in the preview before re-running

Make sure every dancer is recognisable, nobody else is on the court and nothing is written anywhere. The fix guides cover the usual misses: faces swap or merge (guide), the spins and fingers look odd (guide) and an extra person or text appears (guide). Previews per pack: 1 ($4.98), 3 ($9.98) and 5 ($12.98).

Chipmunks Dance AI video: the dancers’ faces swap or merge, how do I fix it?

Faces swap or blend when the photos look too similar or the dancers cross in the middle. Use clearly different photos, one subject each, run a 5-second bonus preview, then make the full video.

Quick fixes

  • Use photos with different clothes, hair or fur colour.
  • Keep one subject in each photo.
  • Put the clearest photo in the lead box, the dancer in the middle.
  • Try two dancers instead of three: the swap is easier to follow.

Why it happens

When the two on the outside cross past the lead, faces overlap for a moment and the model can mix them. Photos that differ a lot keep them apart.

Chipmunks Dance AI video: the spins and finger circles look odd, what can I do?

Fast spins make a body turn into a blur, so limbs can stretch or fingers can double. Use full-body photos where the arms and hands show, start with the default place and your own look, and check a 5-second bonus preview.

Quick fixes

  • Use full-body photos where arms and hands are visible.
  • Start with the default court and your own look.
  • Avoid photos with hands in pockets or hidden.
  • Run again rather than changing four options at once.

Why it happens

A body turning on the spot shows its front, side and back within a second, and the model has to invent the back from one photo. Fingers drawing circles beside a spinning head are small and fast, so a second run often draws them cleaner.

Chipmunks Dance AI video: an extra person or some text appears, how do I stop it?

Only your dancers should be on the court, with no writing anywhere. A fourth person or a stray sign usually comes from a photo with another person or a printed shirt. Use one subject per photo, plain clothes, and a 5-second bonus preview.

Quick fixes

  • Crop out other people, pets and toys.
  • Avoid clothes with printed words or logos.
  • Avoid photos with a sign or a banner behind you.
  • Use plain backgrounds in every photo.

Why it happens

The model sometimes turns another face in a photo into a spectator on the court’s edge, and printed words on a shirt can be redrawn as a sign. Clean photos of one subject each avoid 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. A finished clip that just looks off is a result, not a failure, so it is not refunded. Failed runs return their credit automatically. A finished clip that just looks off is a result, not a failure, so it is not refunded.

How do I avoid paying twice for a bad result?

Run a bonus preview first and fix the photos: one subject each, clear faces, plain backgrounds. 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 photos give the same result?

Not exactly. Every run differs a little, even with the same photos.

Which photo goes in which box?

The first box is the lead in the middle, the second the dancer on the left and the third the dancer on the right.
