Gimme Purr Gimme Meow not working? Fixes for common problems and a free redo
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
When a Gimme Purr Gimme Meow run ends in an error, your credit comes back on its own. A clip that finished is final, even if the face drifts or a hand looks odd, and no free retry follows. Each pack carries bonus previews, so try your photo in one before using the credit on the full video.
Which cases are returned
- Returned on its own: a run that stops with an error and gives no video.
- Not returned: a finished clip in which the face changes from your photo, the sunglasses look wrong or a second person appears. It counts as an outcome, not a broken run.
- Another attempt: it costs 1 credit, whichever photo or option you change, for a 10-second clip.
- Packs nobody has touched: can be refunded inside 7 days; the refund policy has the details.
Before you run it again
Make sure the face is recognisable, there is only one subject and nothing is written anywhere. The three fix guides cover the usual misses: the face changes between poses (guide), the poses or the sunglasses look odd (guide), and a second person or text appears (guide). Previews per pack: 1 ($8.99), 3 ($16.99) and 5 ($25.99).

Gimme Purr Gimme Meow video: why does my face change between poses, and how do I fix it?
The face drifts when the photo is dark, small or turned away, because the camera looks down from above and a hand often crosses the face. 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 outfit and the sunglasses before changing both.
- Keep hair, hats and scarves off the face in the photo.
Why it happens
The view from above shows the head at a steep angle, and a hand passes close to it in every pose. A sharp photo gives the model a clean face to keep.
Gimme Purr Gimme Meow video: the poses or the sunglasses look odd, what can I do?
Fingers and a pair of sunglasses going on are hard for a video model, so a hand can bend oddly or the frames can sit crooked. Start with the default outfit and the slim black sunglasses, keep the photo plain, and check a 5-second bonus preview before the full clip.
Quick fixes
- Use a whole-body photo with a clear outline.
- Start with the white tee outfit and the slim black sunglasses.
- Pick the bright flat first: the poses show best in a plain room.
- Run again rather than changing several options at once.
Why it happens
The model has to draw a moving pose, fingers pointing at the lens and a pair of sunglasses reaching the face, and it redraws all of them every frame. A second run often draws them cleaner.
Gimme Purr Gimme Meow video: a second person or some text appears, how do I stop it?
There should be only you in the room, and nothing should be written anywhere. A second person or a stray sign 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 another person, and printed words on a shirt can be redrawn as a sign. A clean photo of one subject avoids both.
Questions people ask
Do I pay for a video that errors out?
No. A credit is held when the run begins and goes back to you if the run fails.
How can I avoid paying twice?
Run a bonus preview first and fix the photo: one subject, an open face, the whole body visible. Only then spend the credit on the full clip.
Can the money come back instead?
Yes, but only for a pack with no used credits, within 7 days of the purchase. Credits that produced a clip are final.
Is a failed video charged?
No. Failed runs return their credit automatically. A finished clip that just looks off is a result, not a failure, so it is not refunded.
Will the same photo give the same result?
Not exactly. Every run differs a little, even with the same photo.
