What you get
- What can I order for a wedding project?When you create a wedding project in WeddingEditor, you choose the deliverable you want: a Highlight Reel of about 5 minutes or a Social Teaser.
- How long is the WeddingEditor Highlight Reel?The WeddingEditor Highlight Reel is about 5 minutes long, and it is made from the raw footage you upload for that one wedding project.
- What is the WeddingEditor Social Teaser?The Social Teaser is a WeddingEditor film of about one minute: faster, more compressed and trailer-like, made to make the viewer feel the wedding at once.
- What format is the finished video?The finished WeddingEditor edit is a 1080p (1920 x 1080) H.264 MP4 in widescreen, which you watch in the app and download.
- Can I get a 4K version of my edit?No. WeddingEditor delivers every edit as a 1080p H.264 MP4 and offers no 4K version, though you can still upload 4K and drone footage.
- Can I add my own finishing touches to the WeddingEditor edit?Yes. The finished edit is a standard 1080p H.264 MP4, so you can bring it into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro for your own finishing touches.
Uploading footage
- What files can I upload to WeddingEditor?You can upload your raw wedding video and audio files in the browser, including .mov, .mp4 and .wav files, straight to cloud storage.
- Is there a limit on how much footage I can upload?No. WeddingEditor has no limit on the number of files or the total size of a wedding project, so you can upload everything you filmed.
- How large can a single file be?Each file you upload to a WeddingEditor project can be up to 5 GB, because every file uploads as one direct transfer to cloud storage.
- Do I need to sort or rename clips before uploading?No. You can upload your clips as they came off the cards, without renaming, sorting by camera, making proxies or pre-selecting the best takes first.
- Can I upload footage from several cameras?Yes. Upload the footage from every camera you used into the same wedding project, and you do not need to sort it by camera before uploading.
- Can I upload drone and 4K footage?Yes. WeddingEditor accepts drone and 4K clips alongside your other footage, and the finished edit is delivered as a 1080p MP4.
- Do all files need to finish uploading before I pay?Yes. Every file must finish uploading, or be deliberately left out, before you check out or start processing, so the edit is made from a complete upload.
- Can I add footage after I pay?No. Once you pay or use a credit, the footage in that WeddingEditor project is locked, so the edit is made from exactly what you uploaded.
- Can a second shooter upload footage to my project?Yes. Teammates signed in to your WeddingEditor team can add files through a team upload link that WeddingEditor sets up for you on request.
- Can my couple or guests upload footage to WeddingEditor?No. Only you and teammates signed in to your WeddingEditor team can add files, so there is no upload link for couples, clients or guests.
- What happens if my upload is interrupted?If an upload session is interrupted, come back and keep adding the remaining wedding files: WeddingEditor does not treat the wedding as ready until you finish.
How the edit is made
- How does WeddingEditor pick the best wedding moments?WeddingEditor looks for the moments that make a wedding meaningful, such as vows, reactions, parents, speeches and the first dance, not just the cleanest clips.
- How does WeddingEditor decide whether a shot is worth using?WeddingEditor asks whether a shot adds something to the film, so a slightly imperfect clip of a parent crying can beat a flawless shot of table decor.
- How does WeddingEditor edit wedding speeches?WeddingEditor keeps the parts of a speech worth remembering, such as emotional or funny lines and stories about the couple, not the whole recording.
- How does WeddingEditor use real wedding audio and music?WeddingEditor uses real wedding audio, such as vows, speeches, laughter and reactions, together with music, so the film is not one continuous music montage.
- Does a wedding film have to be chronological?No. A strong wedding film does not have to run from the earliest file to the latest, and WeddingEditor can build the edit around story and emotion.
- How does WeddingEditor use B-roll?WeddingEditor uses B-roll such as rings, the dress, decor, the venue and drone shots to set the place and give the film room, not to replace the people.
- Does WeddingEditor use slow motion?Yes, when it has a reason: WeddingEditor can use slow motion for entrances, couple portraits, dress or veil movement, dancing and emotional moments.
- What do the WeddingEditor style preferences change?The style preference shifts the feel of the edit: Emotional and Cinematic, Fun and Energetic, Romantic and Elegant, or Natural and Documentary-style.
- What do the WeddingEditor audio preferences change?The audio preference sets how much of the film is carried by real wedding audio and how much by music: More speeches and voices, Balanced, or Mostly music-led.
- How does WeddingEditor avoid missing important moments?WeddingEditor works across the whole uploaded wedding instead of asking you to pick clips first, and you can name must-have moments and people.
- How do I make sure parents and grandparents appear in the film?Tell WeddingEditor who matters: the preference questions let you name parents, grandparents, siblings, the wedding party, children and close friends.
- Can I give WeddingEditor a style reference film?Yes. You can show WeddingEditor the kind of wedding film you love, and it uses that direction on your own footage, such as pacing, emotional feel and energy.
- How does WeddingEditor edit ceremony footage?WeddingEditor treats the ceremony as one of the most important parts of the film, keeping vows, rings, reactions and the kiss without replaying the service.
Shaping the edit
- Can I tell WeddingEditor what matters most in the film?Yes. Optional preference questions let you describe the feel of the film, the people and moments that matter most, and anything to avoid.
- Do I have to answer the preference questions?No. Every preference question in WeddingEditor is optional, and nothing is assumed or invented for any of the questions you choose to skip.
- Can I make sure certain moments are included?Yes. The optional preference questions include must-include moments and specific people, and your answers guide WeddingEditor's AI edit.
- Can I ask WeddingEditor to leave things out?Yes. One of the optional preference questions asks what to avoid, such as a moment, a person or a type of shot, and your answers guide the AI edit.
- Can I use WeddingEditor for a destination wedding or an elopement?Yes. Any wedding you filmed can be a WeddingEditor project, from a destination wedding or an elopement to a large reception, once you upload the footage.
Cameras, light and footage
- What cameras does WeddingEditor work with?WeddingEditor is built for real wedding production, so one wedding can mix cinema and mirrorless cameras, phones, drones, action cameras and gimbals.
- Can WeddingEditor handle LOG footage from different cameras?Yes. Footage from different cameras and picture profiles, indoors and out, by day and under reception light, is edited toward one consistent film.
- Can WeddingEditor handle mixed frame rates?Yes. Mixed frame rates are normal in wedding production, and WeddingEditor treats real-time and high-frame-rate clips according to how they serve the film.
- Can WeddingEditor handle low-light receptions and difficult lighting?Yes. WeddingEditor is built for weddings as they are shot, including dark receptions, DJ lighting, mixed color temperatures and candlelight.
- How does WeddingEditor use drone and gimbal footage?WeddingEditor uses drone and gimbal footage where it adds something: establishing the venue, showing the destination, revealing scale and transitions.
- How much wedding footage has WeddingEditor processed?WeddingEditor has processed more than 6 TB of wedding footage, so it is being developed around real, large wedding workloads rather than small test examples.
- How does WeddingEditor edit a multi-camera wedding?WeddingEditor works across footage from multiple cameras and shooters and turns it into one coherent wedding film, using the different perspectives together.
Wedding types and traditions
- How does WeddingEditor handle multi-day weddings?WeddingEditor treats a multi-day wedding as a set of events with their own identity, such as a mehndi, sangeet, ceremony and reception, in one story.
- How does WeddingEditor handle cultural wedding rituals?WeddingEditor treats a ritual as a moment with meaning, not just a visual: pheras, a baraat, a nikah or a tea ceremony can be central to the film.
- Can WeddingEditor edit a bilingual or multilingual wedding?Yes. A bilingual or multilingual wedding need not become a music-only film; WeddingEditor keeps meaningful spoken moments in any language.
- How does editing change for different types of weddings?The wedding sets the structure: an elopement is intimate and couple-focused, a destination wedding leans on place, a large wedding has more people.
- What if filming was restricted during a religious ceremony?WeddingEditor works with what was captured, so the edit builds around permitted footage, the processional, reactions, audio and family moments.
Turnaround and delivery
- How long does WeddingEditor take to deliver an edit?WeddingEditor processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours after you start it, and the finished edit then appears in your project.

- Can I download my video again later?Yes. You can download the finished MP4 again later from the same WeddingEditor project, and each download link is valid for 24 hours.
- Does WeddingEditor email me when my edit is ready?WeddingEditor does not send the finished edit by email; it appears in your project in the app, typically 24 to 72 hours after you start processing.
- Does WeddingEditor send the video to my couple?No. WeddingEditor never sends anything to your couple: the finished edit comes to you, and you decide what to deliver and when.
Pricing and plans

Your workflow and business
- How can WeddingEditor help clear a wedding editing backlog?A wedding backlog is an editing-capacity problem, and WeddingEditor takes the editing job off your plate so more weddings move toward delivery.
- How many weddings can a solo videographer handle with WeddingEditor?There is no fixed number: the benefit is capacity, because every wedding you no longer edit by hand gives time back for shooting, clients or rest.
- How can a wedding studio use WeddingEditor with multiple shooters?WeddingEditor is built around the wedding as the project, so a studio with several shooters uploads every camera into one wedding and gets one coherent film.
- How much time does WeddingEditor save?WeddingEditor saves the editing decisions you no longer make yourself: reviewing footage, finding speeches and reactions, and building the story.
- Do I still need Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve if I use WeddingEditor?Not for the wedding edit itself: WeddingEditor takes on that job, so you no longer open hundreds of clips and face an empty timeline to start.

- What is WeddingEditor's Try Before You Buy?Try Before You Buy lets you see WeddingEditor work with your own wedding footage before you commit to the full edit, through a short sample.
Revisions, limits and privacy

- Why do wedding films sometimes need revisions?Wedding editing involves personal choices, so a revision often means the couple knows what matters most, such as a relative or a line, not an error.
- What are the limits of WeddingEditor?WeddingEditor works with what was captured: it cannot create a reaction that was never filmed or rebuild a ceremony angle that does not exist.
- What happens if a wedding file is corrupted or has bad audio?WeddingEditor makes the strongest film it can from usable material: if one clip is unusable, the rest of the wedding still matters.
- Is my wedding footage kept private?WeddingEditor treats your wedding footage as private customer footage, personal material that belongs to you and your couple, not public content.
- How many revisions are included with a WeddingEditor edit?Full WeddingEditor wedding edits include up to two revision rounds after the first edit, so your first edit does not have to be your last word.
- Does WeddingEditor share or publish my clients' footage?No. WeddingEditor treats your clients' wedding footage as private customer material for doing the editing job and delivering your film, not public content.
