Slow-Motion Dunk Reel: Timing and Cropping

The slow rise and contested dunk are the scene’s visual payoff. Keep enough of the approach to explain the action, and enough of the landing to finish it.

Edit around the four action landmarks

01

Use source landmarks rather than the scoreboard

The inspected source lasts about 12.04 seconds. As an approximate map, the approach and gather occupy the opening few seconds, the extended jump and contest fill the middle, the ball reaches the rim around the later middle, and the final seconds show the descent. Locate these moments in your actual footage before cutting. The recreated scoreboard contains inconsistent details and is not a reliable editing clock.

02

Keep the rim and the takeoff in the same composition

Start with the complete portrait frame. Check a frame before takeoff and another near the ball’s highest point. A face-focused crop may remove the basket; a crop centered only on the rim may hide the approach. You need the dunker, defender and basketball path to remain understandable as the camera moves. Decide the crop from several action moments, not just a dramatic poster.

03

For a shorter edit, preserve cause and effect

If you shorten a downloaded result in an editor, retain a readable gather, the contest and the landing. Beginning after the ball is already above the defender can make the shot visually striking but harder to understand. The product’s reference remains the complete scene; a shorter publishing cut is an editing choice, not a different source timeline inside the trend.

04

A caption that waits for the action

Try a short setup such as “One more game?” during the approach. Clear it before the characters overlap near the hoop. After the landing, a second line such as “Okay. Last one.” can supply a small reaction without explaining the dunk in advance. These are original caption suggestions to add in your editor, not words in the source audio or text the trend automatically generates.

05

Place text away from the ball path

The upper center contains the backboard and rim; the middle becomes busy with raised hands and faces. Avoid putting a headline over the basket simply because that area looks dark in the opening. Inspect the caption at the gather, highest jump and descent. If a square or landscape layout is required, first try containing the whole portrait clip on the new canvas instead of cutting away its top and bottom.

06

Keep picture and sound attached

When trimming or replaying a section, move its audio with the same source interval. Do not slide the soundtrack independently to make a transition longer. Preserve the original speed unless you intentionally make an editorial variation, and listen across the cut before exporting. The source already has an extended slow-motion treatment; slowing it again is not necessary to retain the original effect.

How to make it

Choose the roles you want to change. Add a photo for each selected role.

  1. 01

    Cast your players

    Upload one clear character photo for the dunker, defender, or each. Check the role labels before choosing photos; the players overlap and change screen positions during the jump.

  2. 02

    Choose quality

    Select 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote for your selected roles. It includes the complete video plus character and scene preparation.

  3. 03

    Review the basket

    Watch the ball, hands, rim contact and landing before downloading. Check that each selected identity and outfit stays consistent when the players overlap.

01

Two distinct roles

The dunker carries the ball into the jump; the defender contests it with raised arms. Upload a photo for either role or cast both. Unselected roles keep their reference appearance.

02

The whole play

The approximately 12-second portrait sequence includes the approach, slow-motion jump, basket and reaction after landing. The template follows the Instagram recreation's timing.

03

Appearance from your photos

Your selected character's face, hair, outfit and species come from the uploaded photo. For a human replacement, choose clothing and body proportions you want to see throughout the jump.

04

A clearly credited reference

The preview is @tisha_bimbo's supplied AI recreation, not an Oakgen-generated example. The official NBA slow-motion clip is a strong motion match; the creator's exact source edit has not been confirmed.

Photo tips

  • One character per photo
  • Show the intended outfit
  • Keep the face and hair clear
  • Choose visibly different characters for two roles
  • Check the hands, ball and rim
  • Keep the basket in your final crop

Questions & answers

What is the Poster Dunk trend?

Poster Dunk is Oakgen's descriptive name for the supplied Po and Tai Lung basketball AI recreation. One character drives into a slow-motion dunk while the other contests the shot, then both land beneath the basket.

Can I replace just one player?

Yes. Upload a photo for the dunker or defender, or supply two photos to replace both. The role without an uploaded photo keeps its reference appearance. The full play is edited in every case.

Can I use a human photo instead of an animal?

Yes. A selected role uses your photo's character and outfit, including a human or animal. Inspect anatomy and identity through the jump: the reference's cartoon proportions should not carry over to a human replacement.

Is this the Ja Morant and Wembanyama dunk?

The official NBA slow-motion clip of Ja Morant dunking over Victor Wembanyama after the whistle is a strong match for the movement in the recreation. That connection is based on source comparison; the creator has not confirmed the exact edit. This template uses the Instagram recreation, not the NBA footage.

How long is the output?

The complete portrait video is approximately 12.04 seconds at 24 frames per second. It retains the source's final reaction; there is no shorter duration selector in this fixed template.

Does the video keep the reference sound?

Yes. The final MP4 retains the Instagram reference audio. We have not verified a track title and do not label it with a guessed song or artist.

Can I change the court or dunk with a prompt?

The court, camera movement and action sequence are fixed by this reference. Your choices are the replacement photos and output resolution.

Is the preview generated by Oakgen?

No. The preview is the attributed Instagram AI recreation. It demonstrates the scene and timing, not a measured result from your uploaded photos.

How much does it cost?

2,688 credits per 720p video. This full-cast quote includes both character preparations, scene references and the complete play. Selecting one role reduces character preparation cost; check your selected quote before generating.
