--- title: "Try Before You Buy: Wedding Edit Sample | WeddingEditor" url: https://www.weddingeditor.ai/features/try-before-you-buy/ last_updated: 2026-10-12 --- # See WeddingEditor edit your own footage before you commit Try Before You Buy is a short sample edit made from your own uploaded wedding footage: 30 to 40 seconds for a Highlight Reel project or 15 to 20 seconds for a Social Teaser project. It costs $10, one-time, and it is its own product, separate from the full edit. [Start your first wedding](https://app.weddingeditor.ai/sign-up?redirect_url=/dashboard) ## How the sample works 1. **Create a project and choose the deliverable** Start a wedding project and pick a Highlight Reel or a Social Teaser. The choice sets the sample's length: 30 to 40 seconds for a Highlight Reel project, 15 to 20 seconds for a Social Teaser project. 2. **Upload the wedding** Upload your footage in the browser. Every file must finish uploading, or be deliberately left out, before you can buy the sample. 3. **Answer the preferences if you like** The optional questions about feel, audio, people and moments guide the sample as well, so it reflects the direction you would give the full edit. 4. **Buy the sample and watch it in the app** Pay $10 and the sample is made from your footage. You watch it as a preview inside your project. ## What the sample is, and what it is not ### Your wedding, not a stock demo A demo reel shows what someone else's footage looked like. The sample shows WeddingEditor working on the footage you shot, with your light, your cameras and your couple, which is the question most videographers actually need answered before handing over a whole wedding. ### Short by design At 30 to 40 seconds or 15 to 20 seconds, the sample is not a miniature version of the product. It is a way to experience the editing on your own wedding, so you can judge the feel and the choices before you commit to the full Highlight Reel or Social Teaser. ### Made from a selection of your footage The sample is built from a bounded selection of your uploaded files, not from the whole upload. The full edit works across the entire wedding, so it can draw on moments, speeches and people that the sample never touched. ### Its own product, not a deposit The $10 is not a deposit and does not count toward the full edit or add a credit. The full edit is a separate purchase: One Wedding is $119 one-time for one wedding, or a monthly plan credit covers it. ### Watched in the app, not downloaded The sample is a preview for your decision, not a file to deliver. You watch it inside the project; the finished full edit is the MP4 you download and deliver. ### No revision rounds on samples Revision rounds belong to full edits, which include up to two. If the sample shows you something you would brief differently, put that into your preferences before you order the full edit. ### A failed sample can be tried again If a sample does not come out, you can try again without being charged a second time. ## Try Before You Buy at a glance | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Price | $10, one-time | | Highlight Reel project | 30 to 40 second sample | | Social Teaser project | 15 to 20 second sample | | Made from | A selection of your own uploaded footage | | How you see it | A preview in the app, not a download | | Counts toward the full edit | No; the full edit is a separate purchase | | Revision rounds | Not included; full edits include up to two | | If it fails | Try again without a new charge | ## Questions about Try Before You Buy ### Is there a free trial? Creating an account is free, but edits are not. Try Before You Buy is the low-cost way to see WeddingEditor on your own footage first, at $10, one-time. See [Is there a free trial?](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/faq/is-there-a-free-trial/). ### Does the sample count toward the full edit? No. The sample is its own product, not a deposit or a credit, and the full edit is a separate purchase. ### Can I download the sample? No. You watch it as a preview inside your project. The full edit is delivered as a 1080p MP4 you can download. ### Do I need to upload the whole wedding first? Every file must finish uploading, or be deliberately left out, before you buy the sample. Uploading the whole wedding also means the project is ready for the full edit. ### Will the full edit look like the sample? It follows the same direction and the same preferences, but it is longer and works across the whole wedding, so expect more people, more of the day and a fuller structure than the sample can show. ### Can I ask for changes to the sample? No. Revision rounds apply to full edits only. Adjust your preferences before you order the full edit instead. ## Works with the rest of WeddingEditor - [Edit preferences](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/features/edit-preferences/): Brief the sample and the full edit - [Large and interrupted uploads](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/features/large-uploads/): Get the whole wedding uploaded first - [Revisions and delivery](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/features/revisions-and-delivery/): What you get with the full edit ## See your own wedding edited first Upload one wedding, order a short sample, and decide on the full edit when you have seen it.
