The eight most common No Scrubs AI fails are a bent face in the fisheye shot, sunglasses that swallow the close-up, a group photo that confuses who the lead is, a beauty filter that wipes out the face, a cropped photo that loses the outfit, blurry hands in the trio shots, backup dancers who change between renders, and two people swapped in Bring a Friend. Each has a fix that involves no typing: change the photo, pick another look, pick a higher tier or render again. A failed or blocked render returns its credits automatically.
Key takeaways
- No Scrubs AI Dance has no prompt box. The set, the backup dancers, the finger wag and the seven-shot timeline are built into each look, so your levers are the photo, the look, the tier and a re-render.
- A sharp, front-facing, evenly lit photo with the whole head in frame fixes more problems than any other change.
- Video models vary from run to run, so a second render of the same photo is normal and not a sign you did something wrong.
- Standard 720p costs 10 credits. Tiers and resolutions range from 5 to 93 credits, and higher tiers hold faces and hands more steadily.
What should I check first when the video looks wrong?
When a No Scrubs AI video looks wrong, check the photo first. The render copies one identity from the photo into a 15-second music-video take, and almost every visible problem traces back to how much of you the model could see.
Three facts about the clip explain most of what follows. The top-down fisheye shot, at about 9 to 11 seconds, bends everything near the edge of the frame. The quick low-angle trio shots, from about 4.5 to 9 seconds and again in the finale, put three bodies in a busy frame, so faces and hands can blur. And the two backup dancers are made up by the model, so they differ from render to render. None of that is a fault in your upload. It is how a 15-second take behaves, and the example clips on the site are TikTok versions of about 12 seconds, while our renders run the full 15.
Decide which of the eight problems below you have, then change one thing at a time. A note on what is not on the list: rewriting a prompt. There is none to rewrite, and the prompt post explains why adding words is a poor lever for this clip.
1. Why does my face look bent in the fisheye shot?
Your face looks bent in the fisheye shot because it is a lens effect: the camera looks straight down from above, and a fisheye lens curves anything near the edge of the frame. In the clip the lead crouches between the chrome walls with arms spread, so the face sits in the most distorted part of the picture.
Some curvature is correct. What you do not want is a jaw that stretches, eyes that change shape or a head that no longer resembles the photo. Try these in order.
- Change the photo. A sharp, front-facing picture with the whole head in frame gives the model more to hold on to when the lens bends it.
- Pick a higher tier. Pro and Ultra hold the face better in this shot than Standard.
- Render again. The shot comes out differently each time, and a second render often bends less.
The honest limit: the fisheye shot is the hardest frame in the clip, and even on Ultra it will not look like a flat portrait. If you want a calmer result, a look with a plain outfit, such as Black Tee, Baggy Cargos, gives the model less to distort around your face.
2. Why do sunglasses ruin the close-up?
Sunglasses ruin the close-up because the shot at about 3 to 4.5 seconds is the one people pause on, and the eyes are most of what makes a face recognisable. If the photo hides them, the model invents eyes, and the invented ones rarely match.
There are two versions of the problem. In the first, the sunglasses vanish in some shots and return in others, so the face seems to change between cuts. In the second, they stay on and turn into a dark blur across the face. Both come from the same cause: the model has no clear view of what is behind the lenses.
The fix is a different photo. Use one with your eyes visible and no glasses with dark or mirrored lenses. Clear glasses are usually fine, though a heavy frame can shift between shots. If you love the sunglasses look, remember that the dance already has a styled outfit in most of the looks; the face matters more than the accessory.
3. What goes wrong with a group photo?
A group photo goes wrong because the model has to guess which person is the lead. When several faces are in the picture, it may pick the wrong one, blend two of them or give a backup dancer the face of someone standing beside you.
This matters more for No Scrubs AI than for many trends, because the clip already has three dancers. The lead is the person from your photo and the other two are invented. A photo with four people in it asks the model to sort out who plays which part, and it often sorts it badly.
Use a solo photo, cropped or taken so that only you are in the frame. If you want a friend in the video, do not use a group picture. Use the Bring a Friend look and give each person their own photo, which is easier for the model than one photo of two.
4. Why does a filtered photo give a different face?
A filtered photo gives a different face because beauty filters smooth skin, reshape the jaw, enlarge the eyes and remove the small details that make you look like you. The model copies what it sees. If it sees a filtered face, the video shows the filtered face, and in the harder shots, where the model has to rebuild the face from less information, it drifts back toward an average one.
The signs are a face that looks too smooth in the close-up and different in the trio shots, or a face that your friends say is "almost you". Both are the filter showing through.
Take a fresh photo without the filter, in even daylight if you can. Turn off any face-editing in the camera app. Stand a little further back if your phone's front camera stretches faces up close. A plain, slightly boring photo makes a better dance than a flattering edit.
5. Why did a cropped photo lose my outfit?
A cropped photo loses your outfit because the Come As You Are look copies the clothes it can see, and if the picture stops at the shoulders or the waist, the model has to invent the rest. You may get the top you wore, but the trousers and shoes are a guess.
This matters only for Come As You Are, the one look that keeps your own clothes. The other five looks dress you in an outfit that comes from the template, so a head-and-shoulders selfie is enough.
If you want your own clothes, use a full-length photo, standing straight, with shoes visible and a plain background. If you only have a cropped picture, pick another look instead. Black Tee, Baggy Cargos, Pastel Puffer, 80s Power Dress and Double Denim all give a complete outfit without needing your wardrobe in the shot.
6. Why are the hands blurry in the trio shots?
The hands are blurry in the trio shots because three people move quickly in a low-angle frame, and a video model has the least detail to spare on fingers and feet. The routine at about 4.5 to 9 seconds is a shoulder bounce and a side step with one dancer reaching toward the lens, which is a lot of moving limbs for a few frames.
Blur on a hand for a few frames is normal and is part of the honest limits of the clip. It becomes a problem when a hand has the wrong number of fingers or melts into the sleeve. Try these in order.
- Pick a higher tier. Pro and Ultra hold fine detail much better than Standard, and hands are where the difference shows.
- Render again. Hands vary more between runs than almost anything else.
- Pick a plainer look. Long sleeves, a puffer jacket and shiny fabric give the model more edges to confuse. A plain tee, as in Black Tee, Baggy Cargos, is easier.
- Choose 720p or higher. At 480p there are simply fewer pixels for fingers.
Do not expect perfect hands on Standard. If the hands matter to you, such as for a post that will be watched closely, the extra credits for a higher tier are the sensible spend.
7. Why do the backup dancers change between renders?
The backup dancers change between renders because they are made up by the model. Only the lead comes from your photo. The other two are invented each time, so their faces, hair and builds are different on every run, and sometimes one of them looks a little like you.
That variation is by design and cannot be fixed with a setting. It can be managed.
- Render again if you dislike a particular pair. A new run draws new dancers.
- Use a clean solo photo. A busy background or a group shot raises the chance that the model borrows a face for the dancers.
- Expect some resemblance. If one dancer echoes your features, that is the model reusing a strong reference, and a new render is the fix.
If you want a second real face in the routine, the answer is not to describe one. It is Bring a Friend, covered next.
8. How do I stop two people swapping in Bring a Friend?
Two people swap in Bring a Friend when the model cannot tell the photos apart or loses one face in a busy shot. In that look you lead the routine and your friend dances beside you and does the finger-wag close-up, each in the clothes from their own photo. The third dancer is made up.
The swaps usually look like one of three things: your face on the friend's body, the friend's face on you in the trio shots, or the two faces merged into one in the finale.
- Use two solo photos, one face each. Do not upload a single photo of both of you. It is the most common cause of mix-ups.
- Make the photos match in style. Similar light and similar framing help the model treat the two people evenly. A bright selfie for one and a dark group crop for the other invites a swap.
- Pick a higher tier. Two real faces in a busy frame is a hard job, and Pro and Ultra keep them apart better.
- Render again. A swap in one run does not mean a swap in the next.
Both people must be adults who agreed to be in the video. It costs the same credits as a one-person video.
What happens if the render fails, and what does a fix cost?
If a render fails or is blocked, its credits come back to your account automatically, so a failed attempt costs nothing. A render that finishes but looks wrong counts as a completed video, which is why the photo is the cheapest first move.
Here is the order that wastes the least. Change the photo first, since it costs no credits. Render again second. Move to a higher tier third, if the problem is a bent face or blurry hands. Switch the look only when the problem is the outfit.
A Standard 720p video costs 10 credits, and tiers and resolutions range from 5 to 93 credits. The smallest pack, Single, holds 10 credits, enough for one Standard 720p render. Credit packs are final sale, there is no free tier, and the pricing page lists every tier. When you are ready, go to the generator.

Frequently asked questions
Should I re-render or change the photo first?
Change the photo first when the problem is the face, the outfit or a swap, because the photo decides most of the result and costs no credits. Re-render first when the photo is already sharp and the flaw is random, such as a blurry hand or an odd backup dancer.
Can I choose what the backup dancers look like?
No. The two backup dancers in the No Scrubs AI video are made up by the model and change on every render. You can render again for a new pair, which gives a different pair. Bring a Friend is the only way to put a second real person in.
Which tier fixes blurry hands?
Pro and Ultra hold hands and fine detail better than Standard, so they are the ones to try when fingers melt in the trio shots. Pro 720p costs 20 credits and Ultra 720p costs 37. Hands can still blur for a few frames on any tier, because the trio routine moves fast.
Is a selfie enough, or do I need a full-length photo?
A sharp head-and-shoulders selfie is enough for every look except Come As You Are. That look copies the clothes it can see, so use a full-length photo with shoes visible. For the other five looks the outfit comes from the template and only your face matters.
