What is a wedding highlight video?
A wedding highlight video is a short film, usually a few minutes long, that tells the story of the wedding day through its key moments. It does not cover every part in full, and couples watch and share it far more than a full-length film.
It typically draws on the getting-ready scenes, the ceremony, the speeches, the first dance and the reactions of family and friends, cut into one story. Full ceremony and speech recordings are usually delivered separately when a couple wants them.
With WeddingEditor, choose Highlight Reel when you create a project, and AI editing makes a highlight film of about 5 minutes from your footage.
