# How do I start a wedding project in WeddingEditor?

Create a project and choose a Highlight Reel or a Social Teaser, upload your footage, answer the optional questions, then pay or use a credit to start. Every file must finish uploading first, and processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours.

Steps in order: 1. Create the project and choose the deliverable. 2. Upload your raw video and audio files. 3. Answer the optional questions about the film. 4. Buy One Wedding or use a wedding credit from your plan. 5. Start processing.

Processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours, and the finished edit appears in the project.
