# 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. A reference is guidance, not a copy.

A reference helps with things like how much speeches carry the film, music-led versus voice-led storytelling, a cinematic versus documentary feel, and how long moments are given to breathe.

WeddingEditor does not copy another filmmaker shot for shot. Without a reference, the style preferences (Emotional and Cinematic, Fun and Energetic, Romantic and Elegant, Natural and Documentary-style) still set the feel.

For how to describe a reference, see the [Style references](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/features/style-references/) feature page.
