# Upload a whole wedding, however many cameras shot it

Upload your raw wedding footage in the browser, straight to cloud storage: each file can be up to 5 GB, with no limit on the number of files. If an upload is interrupted, come back and keep adding the remaining files; WeddingEditor only treats the wedding as ready once you finish.

## How uploading a wedding works

1. **Create the wedding project** Start a project and choose a Highlight Reel or a Social Teaser. All of the wedding's footage goes into that one project.
2. **Add every file from every camera** Select your video and audio files, such as .mov, .mp4 and .wav. No renaming, sorting by camera, proxies or pre-selection; file names only need to be unique within the project.
3. **Keep the tab open, or come back** Files upload while the browser tab stays open. If the session is interrupted, return to the project and select the remaining original files to continue.
4. **Finish, then move on** When every file has finished uploading, or you have deliberately left some out, the project moves on to preferences and checkout.

## Built for weddings with a lot of footage

### No file count or total size limit

A wedding project has no cap on the number of files and no total size limit. WeddingEditor has processed more than 6 TB of wedding footage, so long ceremonies, full receptions and multi-camera coverage are the normal case, not the exception.

### Up to 5 GB per file

Each file can be up to 5 GB. If a camera split a long recording into several files, upload all the parts.

### Interrupted? Keep uploading

A dropped connection or a closed laptop does not end the upload for good. Come back to the project and keep adding the files that did not finish; what already arrived stays in the project.

### Never edited from a partial upload

Your wedding is not considered ready just because the first few files arrived. Incomplete wedding: keep uploading. Complete wedding: editing can begin, from the wedding as a whole. If you choose to continue without some files, you confirm it deliberately.

### Every camera in one project

Main camera, second shooter, drone and gimbal clips all go into the same project, and WeddingEditor turns the different perspectives into one coherent wedding film. Drone and 4K clips are welcome; the finished edit is 1080p.

### Teammates can add files

Teammates signed in to the same WeddingEditor team can add files through a team upload link that WeddingEditor creates on request. Couples and other people outside your team cannot upload.

### Finish before you pay

Footage is locked once the project is paid for or submitted, so upload everything you want in the film first.

## Questions about uploading large weddings

### How do I send large wedding video files?

Upload them in the browser straight into your WeddingEditor project, not by email. See [How do I send large wedding video files?](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/faq/how-do-i-send-large-wedding-video-files/).

### Is there a limit on how much footage I can upload?

No limit on file count or total size; each file can be up to 5 GB. See [Is there a limit on how much footage I can upload?](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/faq/is-there-a-limit-on-how-much-footage-i-can-upload/).

### Will WeddingEditor start editing before my upload finishes?

No. The wedding is only ready for editing once every file has finished uploading or you have deliberately left some out.

### Do I need to rename or sort my clips?

No. Upload them as they came off the cards; file names only need to be unique within the project.

### Can a second shooter upload to my project?

Yes, if they are signed in to your WeddingEditor team, through a team upload link WeddingEditor creates on request. See [Can a second shooter upload to my project?](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/faq/can-a-second-shooter-upload-to-my-project/).

### Can I upload 4K and drone footage?
