Billy Ripley died soon after the knife fight at a graveyard in Hailsham last summer.
The 20-year-old’s single wound was not survivable, a jury at Lewes Crown Court was told.
A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is said to have plunged a knife 8cm to 12cm into his chest, slicing a rib and the breast bone.
The boy, who sat in the dock on March 17, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black tie, denies murder.
Sussex Police Detective Constable Dawn Robertson told the jury hours of CCTV had been analysed and enhanced.
Ryan Richter, prosecuting, said in one clip the boy can be seen drawing a large knife before confronting Mr Ripley.
“He can be seen exiting the entrance to the graveyard and crossing the road to his bicycle,” DC Robertson said.
The jury was also shown CCTV footage of Mr Ripley jogging out of the graveyard, still carrying a knife and clutching his chest with his other hand after being stabbed.
Witnesses saw him stumble and collapse.
He told the young woman he was with: “Call an ambulance, I’ve been just been stabbed.”
The 17-year-old boy was identified by witnesses at the scene and arrested within an hour, Mr Richter told the jury.
He claimed Mr Ripley attacked him with a knife and he swung his own blade at him once before running away.

In a prepared statement, the boy told police: “I did not murder Billy Ripley. I acted in self defence.”
The court heard a large, machete style knife was found next to Mr Ripley and identified as the one he had been carrying.
The murder weapon was not recovered, Mr Richter said.
Mr Ripley had spent the day with a young woman, celebrating her 18th birthday.
Ella Doe told police they had a peaceful day together and were sitting on benches while she waited for a lift home.
She told police the boy shouted to Mr Ripley after spotting him and the pair made their separate ways to the graveyard.
When Mr Ripley came back, she could see blood coming from his chest.
“Soon after he came running back.
“He told her to call an ambulance as he had been stabbed.
“He was holding his chest and she could see blood.”
A witness driving past the churchyard saw Mr Ripley and the boy facing off.
“One of them seemed to have something on the right hand side of his chest,” Mr Richter said.
“Mouth open, eyes open, in what he thought was a state of shock.
“The other boy had arm raised above his head.
“He thought the boy had thrown something at the other.”
The 17-year-old boy told police: “As I approached him, he walked towards me too.
“He pulled a large machete out of the waistband of his jeans and started whacking me with it.
“He is a lot bigger than me and physically imposing and intimidating.
“I pulled a knife I had in my trouser waistband.
“He hit me with his machete I think twice and I blocked it with my left forearm.
“I stumbled back and he approached me again and hit me again.
“I swung my knife towards him and hit him once in his torso.
“I turned around and ran towards my bicycle and rode away as fast as I could.”
Mr Richter told the jury: “The prosecution case is on that day, the boy chose to have a fight with Billy Ripley and acted aggressively towards him.
“He used a knife with significant force to stab him to his chest and into his heart.”
The 17-year-old denies murder.
The trial at Lewes Crown Court continues.
