What an AI dunk video is
Updated : new page.
An AI dunk video shows you, in your everyday clothes, dribbling down the court of a packed pro basketball arena, taking off and slamming the ball through the hoop with one hand. You never touch a ball: the video model takes your face, hair and outfit from one photo and the dunk from a template. It is the AI dunk trend, and a popular template for it on TikTok is a CapCut one people call the epic dunk, posted under “Who wants to make an EPIC dunk video just like a pro basketball player?”
On 6 November 2026 #epicdunk had 664 videos and 3 million views, and #aidunk 949 videos and 1.3 million; of 66 epic dunk posts we sampled that day, 41 were from the previous 24 hours, by 51 different creators. Most are CapCut template promos, and many use famous faces; the biggest, an epic dunk template post from 3 November, had 431,500 plays. On this page you add one photo, and the video model follows a credited template result move by move with you in it, with its sound.
RapVideo.ai has no connection to CapCut, TikTok, the template’s makers, the creators below or any league or team.
Do I need CapCut for an AI dunk video?
No. The TikTok tutorials copy a post’s template link into CapCut and import a photo. Here you do it in the browser: one photo in, a 6-second MP4 of your dunk out, with the sound on it.
Will the old man’s straw hat end up on me?
No. The template result the effect follows is an old man in a straw hat, a towel and a button jacket; the prompt names all of them to leave out, and you wear what you wear in your photo. In our test a young man in a T-shirt and jeans kept his own clothes, with no hat. How to get the best result: how to do the AI dunk trend.
Is the AI dunk video real?
No. The arena, the crowd, the jump and the slam come from an AI template; nobody in it was filmed dunking. Label your AI dunk video as AI when you post it.

Inside the clip
What your AI dunk video shows
The drive
You dribble in fast and low, the camera running with you at floor level.
The take-off
One gather, one last step, and you are in the air with the ball held high.
The slam
The camera looks up at the rim as you dunk it with one hand.
The AI dunk video, second by second
We watched the template result the effect follows every half second. Your 6 seconds keep its camera, its cut to the rim and the ball’s path; you are the one with the ball:
| Seconds | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0 to 1.5 | You come in from the left of the frame, dribbling onto a pro court in front of a packed crowd; the camera runs with you at floor level. |
| 1.5 to 3 | Low and fast, you drive at the camera and the basket, a referee on the right. |
| 3 to 4 | You gather the ball at your hip, take the last step and jump. |
| 4 to 5 | In the air, one hand lifts the ball high over your head, the other arm out; the camera tilts up. |
| 5 to 6 | Looking up at the rim: you slam the ball through the hoop with one hand, still in the air. |

| Tested | Rendered by us once, on 6 November 2026, from a full-body photo of an AI-made young man in a blue T-shirt, jeans and white sneakers, at 480p. He hit every beat of the template, the dribble, the gather, the take-off and the one-hand slam, and kept his face, T-shirt, jeans and sneakers the whole way. The old man’s straw hat, towel and jacket did not show up. His T-shirt rode up at the top of the jump, as the old man’s shirt does in the template. The clip at the top is that render |

Both start from one photo and end with the same kind of AI dunk video: a packed pro court, a long take-off and a one-hand slam. Make the AI dunk video here if you would rather not install an app.
Who to put on the court
- Yourself: the classic AI dunk video, like the creator who told his high school coach he would dunk one day.
- A friend, a partner or a teammate who said yes, for a birthday, a team chat or a bet you lost.
- A parent or grandparent who said yes: the template’s own promo posts show grandmas and grandpas dunking.
Posting an AI dunk video
Post it as what it is: an AI clip, not a real highlight. Turn on TikTok’s AI-generated content label, and do not caption it as if you really dunked; the fun is that everyone knows you did not. Put only people in it who said yes, and keep famous faces and children out, which the template promos do not always do. The rules: does TikTok allow AI videos?.
Tips for a better AI dunk video
- Use a full-body photo: your legs and shoes are in almost every frame of the AI dunk video, and what your photo hides is filled in by the model.
- We tested a T-shirt and jeans, and both stayed the whole way. Other outfits, a hoodie, a jersey, a coat or a dress, we have not tested yet.
- A short top can ride up at the top of the jump, as in our test and in the template; tuck it in or wear something longer if you would rather not.
- A clear face, facing the camera, in good light. The camera is closest at the end, when you look up at the rim.
- Your own photo, or a friend who said yes. Faces of famous people and of children are not for this.

What is the AI dunk trend?
A TikTok trend from October and November 2026: AI videos of ordinary people, grandparents and TV characters dribbling down a pro court and dunking. A popular template is a CapCut one people call the epic dunk.
How do I make an AI dunk video?
Add one clear, full-body photo of you on RapVideo.ai, keep the Epic Dunk effect selected and press Make the effect. Download the MP4; the sound is already on it.
Which site makes an AI dunk video from one photo?
RapVideo.ai, on this page: one photo, a 6-second 9:16 AI dunk video with the sound, made in the browser on a phone or computer, no app needed. TikTok tutorials use the CapCut template.
Can I dunk on a friend in the AI dunk video?
Not in this effect, which has one person on the court. Some epic dunk templates put a second person under the rim, but the ones we found use famous faces, so we did not build that version.
What does the AI dunk video effect cost?
6 seconds for 4 credits at 480p, 6 at 720p or 12 at 1080p on Wan 3.0, always 6 seconds in 9:16. Packs start at 10 credits for $9.99, and a failed render gives its credits back.
Is there a free AI dunk video?
No. The only free part of RapVideo is one 2-second watermarked preview per Google account, of the default Hotel Lobby video, the Bulin 47 Freestyle or Tiny Desk; everything else is paid with credits.
