Window Dance AI not working? Fixes for common problems and a free redo
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
A failed Window Dance run is refunded automatically, but a finished clip is not redone for free, even if your face drifts or the curtain 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 changes from your photo, the curtain never closes 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 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 your face is recognisable, you are alone in the window and nothing is written anywhere. The three fix guides cover the usual misses: your face slips while dancing (guide), the curtain looks wrong (guide) and a second person or text appears (guide). Previews per pack: 1 ($8.99), 3 ($16.99) and 5 ($25.99).

Window Dance AI video: why does my face change as I jump, and how do I fix it?
Your face drifts when the photo is dark, small or turned away, because the dancer moves a lot in a small, far-off window. Use a sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo, run a 5-second bonus preview, then make the full video.
Quick fixes
- Pick a sharp photo where the eyes are open and the whole face is visible.
- Use even light, without a strong shadow across the face.
- Start with the default room and outfit before changing both.
- Try the white tee first: busy patterns blur when you jump.
Why it happens
While the dancer jumps and swings their arms, the face is small in the frame and moves fast. A sharp photo gives the model one clean face to keep returning to.
Window Dance AI video: the curtain does not close or looks odd, what can I do?
The curtain closes in the last two seconds, so it is the easiest detail to lose. A busy photo or a cluttered background confuses it. Use a plain photo, start with the default cream curtain, and check a 5-second bonus preview.
Quick fixes
- Use a plain photo with one subject.
- Start with the default cream curtain.
- For a pet, expect it to duck out of sight, with the curtain swinging shut behind it.
- Run again before changing the curtain and the room together.
Why it happens
A soft object moving across a lit window right at the end is hard to draw. The model sometimes leaves the curtain half open or skips it, and a second run often closes it more cleanly.
Window Dance AI video: a second person or some text appears, how do I stop it?
You should be alone in the window with no writing anywhere. A second person or a stray logo usually comes from a photo with someone else behind you or a printed shirt. Use a photo of one subject, wear plain clothes, and check a 5-second bonus preview.
Quick fixes
- Crop out other people, pets and toys.
- Avoid shirts and hoodies with printed words.
- Avoid photos with a sign, a poster or a screen behind you.
- Use a plain background.
Why it happens
The model sometimes turns a second face in the photo into a second dancer, and printed words on a shirt can be redrawn as a logo on the hoodie. 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, a plain background. 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.
