What Is AI Dunk?

AI Dunk is the AI video trend where people use AI to put themselves, a friend or a character into a slow-motion poster dunk in a packed arena, slamming over a tall defender. People also call this video effect the AI Dunk video, the AI dunk trend and the AI dunking video.

The real move comes from a January 15, 2025 matchup where the Memphis Grizzlies played the Spurs in San Antonio. With just over two minutes left, Ja Morant, then a Grizzlies guard, soared over Victor Wembanyama for a one-handed slam, but the basket did not count because a referee's whistle had already stopped play. Memphis won 129–115. ESPN lists Morant at 6-foot-2 and Wembanyama at 7-foot-4. On YouTube, the most-watched replay from Chaz NBA passed 1.84 million views. An earlier dunk by Morant on Wembanyama, on January 2, 2024 in Memphis, counted. Morant now plays for the Portland Trail Blazers.

The AI version took off in October 2026. The search term "ai dunk" appeared in US Google Trends from October 12, 2026. On October 15, 2026, the TikTok account @warped.ai posted an AI dunk that passed 1.1 million views. Arena versions of the trend follow the replay of Morant's dunk over Wembanyama beat for beat. CapCut templates such as "Basketball Trend" and "photo trend" spread it across social feeds. Popular captions on the trend read "turn to your neighbor and say basketball" and "Prime 1v1 moment".

People make their own clips by putting themselves, friends, TV characters and streamers into the dunk, usually slamming over a friend or a rival. They tag friends in the comments to pick who gets dunked on next, and comments keep asking whether the videos are real.

Seadanse builds the dunk, the packed NBA-style arena and the trend's own sound into our AI Dunk generator. Photo 1 is you, the one who dunks, and photo 2 is the one you dunk on, or a made-up tall defender joins the video. You download a 5-second vertical 9:16 slow-motion video for TikTok and Reels in 480p, 720p or 1080p, with no watermark on exported video. One 720p video is $9.90, with no sign-up.

What Makes Our AI Dunk Generator Stand Out

One Slow-Motion Shot Built for the Slam

Our AI Dunk generator builds the full highlight in a packed NBA-style arena with no template, no prompt and no editing. You get one continuous slow-motion shot from the baseline under the basket, with the one-hand poster dunk landing right on the beat of the trend's own sound.

Posterize a Friend, Rival or Character

Posterize a Friend, Rival or Character

Add a second photo to posterize a friend, a rival or any character who rises beside the rim and gets knocked back. If you leave photo 2 empty, our AI Dunk generator adds a made-up tall player so you still slam over someone for the same price.

Dunk in Whatever You Wear

Both people keep their own face, hair and clothes from their photos, so whatever you wear in your picture, you dunk in it. Use a clear photo of any person or character, and our AI Dunk generator puts them straight into the arena.

What is the AI dunk trend?

It is the viral video trend where people put themselves, a friend or a character into a slow-motion poster dunk in a packed arena, slamming over a tall defender. The term ai dunk appeared in US Google Trends from October 12, 2026. On October 15, 2026, the TikTok account @warped.ai posted an AI dunk that passed 1.1 million views. Arena versions follow the replay of Ja Morant's dunk over Victor Wembanyama beat for beat, and CapCut templates like Basketball Trend and photo trend spread it with captions like turn to your neighbor and say basketball. The dunk and the sound are built into our AI Dunk generator so you can create your own clip today.

Did Ja Morant really dunk on Wembanyama? Why didn't it count?

Yes. On January 15, 2025, the Memphis Grizzlies played the Spurs in San Antonio. With just over two minutes left, Ja Morant soared over Victor Wembanyama for a one-handed slam, but the basket did not count because a referee's whistle had already stopped play. Memphis won 129–115, and the most-watched replay passed 1.84 million views. An earlier dunk on Wembanyama on January 2, 2024, in Memphis counted. Morant now plays for the Portland Trail Blazers.

Can I dunk on my friend?

Yes. Photo 1 is you, the one who dunks, and photo 2 is the one you dunk on: a friend, a rival or a character. In the clip, your friend rises beside the rim with both arms up, gets knocked back by your one-hand slam, and stands under the basket with one arm raised while you walk away. Both of you keep your own face, hair and clothes. One photo or two cost the same, as long as every person is 18 or older.

Do I need a second photo?

No. With no photo 2, a new defender joins the video. This made-up tall player challenges your shot, so you still posterize somebody in front of a packed arena. One photo or two cost the same.

Is AI Dunk free? How much does it cost?

One 5-second 720p video is $9.90, and one $9.90 credit pack covers it. That same pack covers a 480p video too. 480p uses 375 credits, 720p uses 500 and 1080p uses 1,480, which is about $23.60 with the $39.90 pack of 2,500 credits, and the rest stays in your balance. One photo or two cost the same. Credit packs are a one-time payment with no subscription, and credits stay valid for 12 months. You buy with no sign-up, though sign-up is free and adds 40 starter credits. The price shows on the Create button before you pay, and a render that fails returns its credits automatically. The Seadanse pricing page lists every credit pack.

Do I need the CapCut template or an app?

No. The dunk, the arena and the trend's own sound are built into our AI Dunk generator on this page. You never have to track down a template, copy a link or edit footage. Simply upload your photos, see the price on the Create button and press Create.

Is the AI Dunk video real?

Every video made on this page is an AI video. Our AI builds the dunk with the people from your photos in it, in one slow-motion shot that plays like a real highlight. Both people keep their own face, hair and clothes.

Will it look like me, and do I keep my clothes?

Yes. Your face, hair and clothes come from your photo, and so do your friend's in photo 2. Whatever you wear in your photo, you dunk in it. For the best result, upload a photo with one person or character and a clear face.

Can I use a cartoon, anime or game character?

Yes. A cartoon character, an anime character, a game character or an AI-made picture works for either photo slot. You can watch a character posterize its rival, or you can slam a dunk over a fictional character yourself.

How long is the video, and will it fit TikTok and Reels?

Each video is 5 seconds long. It is one continuous slow-motion shot from the drive to the defender left standing under the basket, complete with the trend's own sound. The vertical 9:16 frame is tailored for TikTok and Reels in 480p, 720p or 1080p. You download an MP4 with no watermark.

What song is in the AI Dunk video?

It uses the trend's own sound, the "Clandestina" song that TikTok AI dunk videos feature. Every video made here includes it from the first frame, and your slam hits right on the beat.

Do I need to be tall or know how to dunk?

No. The dunk is built in, so nobody in your photos has to be tall, play basketball or jump. Just upload your photos and press Create to take flight.

What happens if my video fails?

A render that fails returns its credits automatically. The price always shows on the Create button before you pay, so you can test your best photos with peace of mind.

Can I make other AI trend videos from one photo?

Yes. Ozil Goal AI puts you in as the scorer of a famous Champions League solo goal in a 15-second video with the trend's original sound. Lamine Yamal Rabona AI puts you on the ball for the famous fake rabona in a 9-second video with the clip's original sound. Bulin 47 AI puts you in the viral street freestyle in Bulin 47's spot in a 15-second video with the original sound.
