What it is

What is the End of Watch meme?

An End of Watch AI video puts you in the locker room scene from End of Watch (2012): an officer films himself in front of his locker and holds his gear up to the lens one piece at a time, then his partner leans in.

The end of watch locker scene became a TikTok trend in 2023, when people filmed their own version with whatever they carry. Since August 2026 AI versions put other people and characters in the locker room.

Your photo

Which photo to use for the End of Watch AI template

The camera is a hand’s length from the face for most of the clip, so a sharp, front-on face is what makes it look like you. The white T-shirt comes from the scene unless your photo shows your own clothes.

  • Sample photo: a man in his forties in a red polo shirt, cargo shorts and sneakers, standing full length, face clearly visible

Fixes

If your End of Watch AI video looks off

The face fills the frame most of the time, so most problems start with the photo.

  • It does not look like me

    Use a sharp photo, face clear and front-on, in good light, and make it again.

  • The partner from the film is still there

    Add a photo in the Partner box, or pick one photo of you both. Left empty, the original partner stays.

  • The photo will not upload

    Use a JPG, PNG or WEBP. If an iPhone photo will not open, upload a screenshot of it.

  • The video did not render

    The credits go back on their own. Add the photo again and press the button.
