How to make the Middle Finger Dunk AI video, step by step
This tutorial shows how to make the Middle Finger Dunk AI video: a 10-second vertical video of the trend scene with your faces in it, written shot by shot and scored with music the AI makes for it. You need 1-2 photos and no prompt, editing app or download of the TikTok.
Open the Middle Finger Dunk maker
Switch between the original clip and a real result of this maker, unedited, made October 25, 2026 with photos of AI-generated sample people.
What you need
- 1-2 photos: You (the dunker): crosses over the defender, flies over him and flips the middle finger mid dunk. A person or a pet (a pet raises a paw instead); Friend to dunk on (optional): gets crossed over and dunked on. Leave it empty and the AI adds a defender.
- 100 credits ($8.90 paid once, less with a plan), taken only when the video finishes.
- about 5–10 minutes of waiting. You can leave the page.
- A phone or a computer with a browser. No app, no editor, no account on another AI tool.
Step-by-step: make the Middle Finger Dunk AI video
Open the template
Go to the Middle Finger Dunk AI page on Remake Your Meme. The maker sits next to a real 10-second result, so you can compare it with the original clip before you spend anything.
Choose 1-2 photos
The Middle Finger Dunk AI video needs 1-2 photos: photo 1 is you (the dunker) (crosses over the defender, flies over him and flips the middle finger mid dunk. A person or a pet (a pet raises a paw instead)); photo 2 is friend to dunk on (optional) (gets crossed over and dunked on. Leave it empty and the AI adds a defender). Use one person per photo with the whole face visible, ideally front-facing and sharp.
Upload and confirm
Drop the photos into the maker and confirm that you have permission to use them. They go straight to private storage and are deleted with the video after 30 days.
Keep the trend sound
Leave "Trend sound" on to get the audio of the original clip under your video. Choose "No song" if you want to add the official sound inside TikTok instead.
Start and wait
Press "Make my video". The Middle Finger Dunk AI video usually takes about 5–10 minutes. You can close the tab or start another one; the video waits in Your videos, and we email you when it is ready.
Download and post
Download the 10-second 9:16 MP4 without a watermark and post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Label it as AI-generated where the app asks, and tag the people in it.
How this video follows the trend
The trend clips are made from two photos in a CapCut template, so every version tells the same story. We wrote that story as a shot-by-shot script: who is in each shot, where they stand, how they move and what their face does, down to the tears, the trembling lip and the smile of recognition. The video model films it with your two photos, so the scene matches the trend and both faces stay yours.
Play the original and the remake together
Both clips start together, so you can compare the trend clip with a real result of this maker.
What stays as in the trend
- The play of the original street ball clip: the crossover, the drive past the defender, the take-off over him and the dunk with the middle finger up at the camera.
- The night court of the original: floodlights, dark trees, a glass backboard on a blue pole and a crowd of young people along the baseline.
- The sound of the original clip, laid under the finished video.
What changes
- The original shows the play three times from different angles, and in it the ball pops up before it drops in. Ours is one continuous 10-second take filmed from the free-throw line, and the dunk is a reverse dunk: the dunker spins, jumps facing the camera and slams the ball back over the head and down through the rim, so one hand is free for the middle finger.
- It ends on the dunker landing and staring into the camera while the defender holds his head.
- The dunker and the defender come from your photos, in their own clothes; with one photo the AI adds a defender.
- The caption, the emojis and the sponsor sign of the original are left out, and the picture fills a vertical 9:16 screen.
- A pet stays that pet: as the dunker it raises a paw instead of the finger, as the defender it jumps on its hind legs.
How to get the closest result
- Use a full-body photo where the face is sharp: the dunk shows the dunker close up at the rim.
- Sporty clothes look most like the original, but everyone keeps what they wear in their photo.
- Add your friend as photo 2 so the defender is someone people recognise.
Three ways to make the Middle Finger Dunk AI video
| Method | How close to the original | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| This maker | Same story, with its own music: written shot by shot from the trend, with the faces of your two photos and a piano score made by the AI. | Add 1-2 photos and press one button. Failed videos are refunded. |
| Motion transfer, such as Higgsfield Genjutsu | Very close: Higgsfield says the motion, camera and timing stay as filmed and everything else is rebuilt from your references. | Find and download the original clip, upload it with your photos, describe the swap, check every shot, then add the sound back. |
| Prompt and a reference photo | Loose: the model invents the room, the timing and the camera again on every run. | Write a long prompt for every shot and retry until the scene looks right. |

The manual way, for comparison
This is how people make the Middle Finger Dunk AI video with a general AI video tool. It works, but every step is a place where the result drifts from the original:
- Find a "Your Prime 1v1 Basketball Moment" CapCut template or an AI video app from a tutorial and upload a photo.
- Hope the face stays yours and the hand does what it should: many tools blur the gesture or swap a face onto a fixed clip.
- Put the trend sound under it in CapCut, then export it.
Photo tips for the Middle Finger Dunk AI video
- Use one sharp photo per person, with only that person in it, face visible. A full-body photo helps the jump look right, but a clear face matters most.
- Everyone keeps the clothes from their photo, so a hoodie, a jersey or a suit all come through on the court.
- For a pet, use a clear photo of one animal with its face visible. It plays upright on its hind legs.
