Me Sitting and Doing Nothing not working? Fixes for common problems and a free redo
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
A failed Me Sitting and Doing Nothing run is refunded automatically, but a finished clip is not redone for free, even if the robe or the snack 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 for a Me Sitting and Doing Nothing video, and what does not
- Back automatically: a Me Sitting and Doing Nothing run that ends with an error and no video.
- Not returned: a finished clip in which the face changes from your photo, the snack bends or a second person appears. That counts as a result, not a failed render.
- A new run: another photo or option costs 1 credit, and a retry of the scene with the lying back, the snack and the deadpan look stays among the cheapest on the site.
- Unused packs: refundable within 7 days, see the refund policy. Credits that already made a Me Sitting and Doing Nothing clip stay spent.
What to check in the Me Sitting and Doing Nothing preview before re-running
Make sure the face is recognisable, no sunglasses are in the photo and nothing is written anywhere. The fix guides cover the common misses: the face changes while lounging (guide), the robe or the snack look odd (guide), and a third person or some text appears (guide). Previews per pack: 1 ($8.99), 3 ($16.99) and 5 ($25.99).

Me Sitting and Doing Nothing video: why does my face change while I lounge, and how do I fix it?
The face drifts when the photo is dark, small or turned away, because the sunglasses and the snack pass in front of it. 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 backdrop and sunglasses before changing both.
- Keep hair, hats and scarves off the face in the photo.
Why it happens
The face is half covered by sunglasses and the snack keeps moving toward it. A sharp photo gives the model a clean face to keep through both.
Me Sitting and Doing Nothing video: the robe, the snack or the sunglasses look odd, what can I do?
A floppy robe and a moving snack are hard for a video model, so the robe can merge with the lounger or the snack can change shape. Start with the default backdrop, popcorn and 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 default pink backdrop and the popcorn.
- Pick the plain dark sunglasses first: the face shows best with a simple accessory.
- Run again rather than changing several options at once.
Why it happens
The model has to draw a soft robe, a snack going to the mouth and a pair of sunglasses, and it redraws all of them every frame. A second run often draws them cleaner.
Me Sitting and Doing Nothing video: a second person or some text appears, how do I stop it?
There should be only you on the lounger, 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 on the lounger, and printed words on a shirt can be redrawn as a sign. A clean photo of one subject avoids both.
Questions people ask
Is a failed Me Sitting and Doing Nothing video charged?
No. The credit is reserved when the run starts and returned if it fails.
How do I avoid paying twice for a bad Me Sitting and Doing Nothing result?
Run a bonus preview first and fix the photo: one subject, an open face, head and shoulders 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. A credit that already made a Me Sitting and Doing Nothing clip stays spent.
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.
