WeddingEditor is built for wedding footage. Its optional sample edit is made automatically by AI from a selection of your own clips, so you can preview the approach on your own wedding. The full Highlight Reel of about 5 minutes is then made by WeddingEditor's AI editing from all of your footage, guided by the preference answers you gave. [Start your first wedding](https://app.weddingeditor.ai/sign-up?redirect_url=/dashboard) ## What the AI does for the sample and the full edit WeddingEditor splits the work in a way you can rely on. - **AI sample, made automatically**: The sample is made automatically by AI from a bounded selection of your uploaded clips. - **Your own footage, not a stock demo**: The sample is cut from a selection of your own clips, so you see how WeddingEditor treats your wedding before you buy the full edit. - **A preview you watch in the app**: You watch the sample in the app as a preview. If a sample fails, you can try again without paying again. - **AI editing makes the full edit**: Every paid Highlight Reel is made by WeddingEditor's AI editing and published to your project. - **Up to two revision rounds**: If the full edit needs changes, email your notes and the same edit is revised, up to two rounds. ## What is an AI highlight video generator? The phrase describes software that watches long footage and pulls out the best moments automatically. In sports and gaming, a highlight is easy to define: a goal, a kill, a spike in crowd noise. Weddings are harder. The meaningful moments are quiet as often as loud, a highlight has to tell a story in order, and one wrong cut, such as a guest who asked not to be filmed, matters a lot. WeddingEditor uses AI where it is safe and useful: to make an automatic sample from part of your footage. For the paid highlight, WeddingEditor's AI editing works from your whole upload and your preference answers. If you are searching for a fully automatic generator, that is an honest difference to know before you upload. The upside is practical: the sample shows you quickly how AI reads a selection of your footage, and the full highlight is built from the whole upload, shaped by what you said about pacing, story and anything that should not be in the film. For a business delivering to paying couples, that combination is usually worth more than raw speed. Not the same as: Not the same as a sports or gaming highlight tool. WeddingEditor only works with wedding footage and does not generate footage. ## How to use it 1. **Upload the wedding** Create a Highlight Reel project and add every clip and audio file from the day. 2. **Optionally buy the AI sample** Try Before You Buy makes a short sample automatically from a selection of your clips, 30 to 40 seconds for a Highlight Reel project, watched in the app. 3. **Set your priorities** Answer the optional preferences on feel, people and must-include moments. 4. **Order the full highlight** Pay with One Wedding or a credit. WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the edit, typically 24 to 72 hours after processing starts, and you download the MP4. ## What you get - **Automatic AI sample**: The sample is made automatically by AI from your own uploaded footage. - **Sample from your clips**: The sample is a short preview made by WeddingEditor's AI editing from a selection of your own uploaded clips. - **Retry without paying again**: If a sample fails, you can try again without being charged a second time. - **Free retries on failed samples**: If a sample fails, you can try again without being charged again. - **AI-edited full edit**: Paid edits are made by WeddingEditor's AI editing, guided by your preferences. - **Highlight of about 5 minutes**: The full Highlight Reel runs about 5 minutes. ## Limits to know - **Not fully automatic**: The paid edit typically takes 24 to 72 hours, so it is not an instant generator. - **The sample uses part of the footage**: The sample draws on a bounded selection of clips, not the whole upload, and is a preview, not a download. - **Weddings only**: It is built for wedding footage, not sports, gaming or podcasts. ## AI highlight tools compared by approach | Question | General AI highlight generator | WeddingEditor | |---|---|---| | Built for | Many kinds of video | Wedding footage | | Who makes the final cut | Software | AI sample from a selection; AI full edit from everything | | Review before delivery | Varies | Published to your project for download | | Revisions | Re-run the tool | Up to two rounds by email | ## Pricing The full highlight is $119 one-time for one wedding, or one monthly credit.

Creating a WeddingEditor account is free. The sample and the full edit are paid; there is no free plan. ### Is WeddingEditor discussed on Reddit? This page does not cite community posts or reviews. The most reliable test is your own footage: upload a wedding, buy the optional sample and watch what it makes before you decide on the full edit. If a sample fails, you can try again without being charged again. ### Is it an AI highlight video maker or a service? Both. The sample is made automatically by AI from a selection of clips; the full highlight is made by WeddingEditor's AI editing from the whole upload. ### What if the full edit gets a moment wrong? Wedding films are personal, and a single wrong cut can upset a couple. Every full edit is made by WeddingEditor's AI editing and published to your project, and up to two revision rounds are included before you deliver it. ### Does the sample count toward the full edit? No. The sample is a separate purchase and does not count toward the full edit or grant a credit. ### Can I download the AI sample? No. You watch the sample in the app as a preview. It is rendered from 720p analysis proxies placed in a 1080p frame, so it does not show the full detail of your source footage; the paid edit is the file you download and deliver. ### How long does the full highlight take? Processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours, with no guaranteed turnaround. ### Can I use footage from many cameras? Yes. Upload footage from several cameras into one project without renaming or sorting. Drone and 4K clips are accepted too, and the edit is delivered at 1080p. ### What should I put in the preferences for an AI-assisted highlight? The same things you would tell a second editor: the feel of the film, how much speech versus ambient sound you want, the people who must appear, the moments that cannot be missed and anything to avoid. Free-text answers can run to 2,000 characters, and nothing is assumed for questions you skip. ### Is a sample available for every project? Samples are available for Highlight Reel and Social Teaser projects, one per project. ## Related guides - [Wedding video guides](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video-guides/): Every head-term guide - [Automatic wedding video editor](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/automatic-wedding-video-editor/): What is automatic and what is not - [AI video editing service](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/ai-video-editing-service/): AI editing guided by your preferences - [Wedding highlight video maker](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-highlight-video-maker/): A Highlight from your footage - [AI wedding video editor](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/ai-wedding-video-editor/): WeddingEditor's main product page ## See what AI makes of your footage Upload the wedding, preview a sample and order the full highlight.
