Fancy Cafe POV AI not working? Fixes for common problems and a free redo
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
A failed Fancy Cafe POV run is refunded automatically, but a finished clip is not redone for free, even if a seat looks odd or the two people 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 a table looks odd, a face drifts or a third person appears. This is a result, not a failed render.
- A new run: another photo or option costs 1 credit, and a 12-second retry is among the cheaper ones on the site.
- Unused packs: refundable within 7 days, see the refund policy.
What to check in the preview before re-running
Make sure both people are recognisable, nobody else is in the cafe and nothing is written on the walls or the cups. The fix guides cover the usual misses: the two people look alike (guide), the seat and tables look wrong (guide) and a third person or text appears (guide). Previews per pack: 1 ($8.99), 3 ($16.99) and 5 ($25.99).

Fancy Cafe POV AI video: the two people look alike, how do I fix it?
The two blend when the photos look too similar or each has two faces in it. Use two clearly different photos, one subject each, run a 5-second bonus preview, then make the full video.
Quick fixes
- Use two photos with different clothes, hair or fur.
- Keep one subject in each photo.
- Put the clearer photo in the first-timer box, the one who sits on the table.
- If you have only one photo, accept the twin look.
Why it happens
One of them sits on a table and then moves, while the other walks in, and the model sometimes lets one face leak into the other. Photos that differ a lot keep them apart.
Fancy Cafe POV AI video: the steel tables or the seating look wrong, what can I do?
A person sitting on a small table is an odd shape for a video model, so the tables can turn into stools, merge or move. Start with the default concrete cafe, keep photos plain, and check a 5-second bonus preview before the full video.
Quick fixes
- Start with the default concrete-walled cafe and soft daylight.
- Avoid the darker cafes if the steel tables disappear into the shadow.
- Use photos of the whole body, so the sitting pose has a full figure to work from.
- Run again rather than changing four options at once.
Why it happens
The joke needs two round tables to stay solid and a person to sit on one of them, and the model redraws everything every frame. A second run often draws them cleaner.
Fancy Cafe POV AI video: a third person or some text appears, how do I stop it?
Only the two of you should be in the cafe, with no writing anywhere. A third person or a stray caption 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 poster, a menu or a screenshot behind you.
- Use plain backgrounds in both photos.
Why it happens
The model sometimes turns another face in a photo into a bystander, and the original posts carry a caption at the top that it may try to redraw. 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 photo give the same result?
Not exactly. Every run differs a little, even with the same photo.
Does the move to the ledge change who is who?
No. The first-timer stays the first-timer from start to end: only the seat changes, not the face.
Is the first-timer meant to sit on the table?
Yes, that is the joke: they think the round steel table is a stool. If a result puts them on a normal stool, run again.
