Cricket Six AI not working? Fixes for common problems and a free redo
Updated:
Short answer
A failed Cricket Six run is refunded automatically, but a finished clip is not redone for free, even if your face drifts a little or the bat 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 your face drifts from your photo, the bat bends or a second person appears. This is a result, not a failed render.
- A new run: another photo or option costs 1 credit, and a 8-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 your face is recognisable, you are alone on the ground and nothing is written anywhere. The three fix guides cover the usual misses: your face looks different (guide), the swing or the bat looks odd (guide) and a second person or text appears (guide). Previews per pack: 1 ($8.99), 3 ($16.99) and 5 ($25.99).

Cricket Six AI video: why does my face look different, and how do I fix it?
Your face drifts when the photo is small, dark or turned away, because the batter is small in a wide shot and moves fast. Use a sharp, well-lit, front-facing whole-body photo, run a 5-second bonus preview, then make the full video.
Quick fixes
- Pick a photo where the face is sharp and the eyes are open.
- Use a whole-body photo, so the model can match the build.
- Use a plain background and even light.
- Try your own clothes or the default outfit before the others.
Why it happens
In a wide shot the face is only a few dozen pixels, and during the swing it turns and blurs. A sharp whole-body photo gives the model more to hold on to.
Cricket Six AI video: the swing or the bat looks odd, what can I do?
A bat swung fast is one of the hardest things for a video model, so it sometimes bends or doubles. Use a photo where both hands are visible, start with the default ground and light, and check a 5-second bonus preview.
Quick fixes
- Use a photo where the hands and arms are visible.
- Start with the default ground: the dusty village ground.
- Avoid very busy backgrounds in the photo.
- Run a second time rather than changing five options at once.
Why it happens
A thin bat moving through the air blurs into one shape, and the model has to redraw it every frame. A second run often draws it cleaner.
Cricket Six AI video: a second person or some text appears, how do I stop it?
You should be alone on the ground with no writing anywhere. A second person or a stray caption usually comes from a photo with another person or a printed sign. Use a photo with only your subject, remove signs and logos, and check a 5-second bonus preview.
Quick fixes
- Crop out other people, animals and toys.
- Remove or hide anything with writing or a logo.
- Use plain clothes without printed words.
- Make sure no signs are in the photo.
Why it happens
The model sometimes treats a second subject in the photo as a spectator or a fielder, and any readable writing can leak onto the bat or the clothes. 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. A finished clip that just looks off is a result, not a failure, so it is not refunded. Failed runs return their credit automatically.

How do I avoid paying twice for a bad result?
Use a bonus preview before paying for the full clip, and fix the photo first: one subject, a visible face, a plain background. Spend the credit once the preview matches what you want.
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.
