How to Fix Rubbery, Glitchy Legs in AI Catwalk Videos

Quick answer: Glitchy legs come from fast movement, long clips and outfits that hide the legs. Reduce them by using shorter clips (5 seconds), a steady medium pace, a static camera, clear contrast between legs and floor, and a full-body first frame. Generate two or three takes and keep the cleanest.

Why walking is hard for AI

Walking means legs crossing, overlapping and swapping in front of each other many times per second. Video models sometimes lose track of which leg is which, especially in long dresses or dark trousers on dark floors.

Settings that help

1. Use a first frame where both legs are clearly visible.
2. Ask for a 'steady, medium pace walk' rather than 'fast strut'.
3. Keep the camera static or slowly pushing in.
4. Prefer 5-second clips and edit them together.
5. Make legs contrast with the floor (light floor, dark shoes or the reverse).
6. Run 2–3 takes and choose the best.
