Convertible Coffee Drive not working? Fixes for common problems and a free redo
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
A failed Convertible Coffee Drive run is refunded automatically, but a finished clip is not redone for free, even if the face drifts or the car 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 the face changes from your photo, the car changes shape or the cup melts. 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 the face is recognisable, there is only one driver and nothing is written anywhere. The three fix guides cover the usual misses: the face changes in the wind (guide), the car or the coffee looks odd (guide), and a second person or text appears (guide). Previews per pack: 1 ($8.99), 3 ($16.99) and 5 ($25.99).

Convertible Coffee Drive video: why does my face change in the close-up, and how do I fix it?
The face drifts when the photo is dark, small or turned away, because the close-up shows sunglasses and windblown hair. Use a sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo, 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 city avenue and red car before changing both.
- Keep hair, hats and scarves off the face in the photo.
Why it happens
Sunglasses, wind and a moving camera hide and change a lot of the face. A sharp photo gives the model a clean face to keep.
Convertible Coffee Drive video: the car or the coffee looks odd, what can I do?
A car moving past a camera is hard for a video model, so the shape can change or the cup can melt. Start with the default red convertible and city avenue, keep the photo plain, and check a 5-second bonus preview.
Quick fixes
- Use a whole-body photo with a clear outline.
- Start with the default red convertible.
- Pick the sunny midday light: the car and the cup show best in clear light.
- Run again rather than changing several options at once.
Why it happens
The model has to draw a whole car, a road and a small cup, and keep them steady while the camera moves. A second run often draws them cleaner.
Convertible Coffee Drive video: a second person, a plate or some text appears, how do I stop it?
There should be only the driver, and nothing should be written anywhere, not even on the car. A passenger or a stray plate usually comes from a photo with someone beside you or a printed shirt. Use a photo of one subject, plain clothes, and a 5-second bonus preview.
Quick fixes
- Crop out other people and pets.
- 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 the photo into a passenger, and printed words on a shirt can spread to the car. A clean photo of one subject 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, an open face, chest up or more 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.
