Common Mistakes

Too close

Standing Too Close to the Camera

When you're less than a meter away, your body fills the frame and it can't place background dancers or track your full silhouette. Stand 2-3 meters back and frame head to toe with space around you.

Starting mid-dance

Starting Mid-Dance

If your video starts mid-move, there's no clean reference point for your body position. Hold a neutral standing pose facing the camera for 1-2 seconds before you start dancing. The first frame is critical.

Bad lighting

Poor or Uneven Lighting

Dark rooms, harsh overhead lights, or strong backlight from a window make it hard to see your face and body clearly. Face a window or use a ring light. No harsh shadows on your face.

Video with cuts

Video With Cuts or Edits

Spliced clips, slow motion, transitions, or text overlays confuse the processing. Each cut creates a discontinuity that can't be handled. Submit one continuous take: trim the start and end only, no filters or effects.

Busy background

Busy or Moving Background

People walking, cars passing, or TV screens behind you confuse the processing. Moving elements may merge with your dance. Choose a plain wall, empty room, or quiet outdoor space where nothing moves behind you.

Wrong format

Wrong Format or Duration

Videos under 3 seconds or over 30 seconds won't work well. Unsupported formats like GIF or HEIC will fail. Use MP4 or MOV, 720p or 1080p, between 5 and 15 seconds for the best results.

Pro Tip
Before recording your final take, shoot a 3-second test. If your framing, lighting, and setup look clean, you're good to go.
