# Offer wedding video without becoming a video editor

Many wedding photographers now shoot some video on the same day, or are asked to. The filming fits into the day; the editing does not, because cutting a wedding film is a different craft from culling and grading photos. With WeddingEditor you upload the video clips you shot, choose a Highlight Reel or a Social Teaser, and WeddingEditor's AI editing turns them into a finished edit you can add to the gallery you deliver.

For hybrid shooters who are confident with a camera and would rather not learn a video timeline.

## Why video is hard to add to a photo business

- **Editing video is a separate skill**: Culling and grading stills does not prepare you for pacing a film, choosing which speech lines to keep and cutting between clips.
- **Your editing time already belongs to photos**: Galleries take the post-wedding days. Adding a video edit means fewer evenings for the work you are known for.
- **Clips shot between photos are scattered**: Video taken on a photo body between portraits arrives as many short files. Making sense of them is slow when you do not edit video every week.

WeddingEditor lets a photographer sell video while keeping editing time for photographs. You upload the clips from the same cards you shot stills on, without renaming or sorting them, use the preference questions to say who and what matters, and receive a finished widescreen edit. Every full edit includes up to two revision rounds, and nothing goes to the couple until you add it to their delivery.

## What a photographer needs to know

- **Upload what you shot**: Video and audio files go straight from your cards into one project. There is no file count or total size limit, and each file can be up to 5 GB.
- **Two kinds of edit**: Choose a Highlight Reel of about five minutes or a Social Teaser when you create the project.
- **A brief in plain words**: Optional questions let you note the people, speeches and moments that matter, and anything to leave out.
- **Original sound kept**: The edit keeps the sound recorded in your footage. Real audio and music work together, set by your audio preference.
- **Delivered next to your gallery**: Download the 1080p MP4 and deliver it alongside the photos, whenever you are ready.

## Adding a video to a photography delivery

1. **Create a project for the wedding** Choose Highlight Reel for a short film of the day or Social Teaser for something brief.
2. **Upload the clips from your cards** Add every video and audio file you recorded; you do not need to pick the good ones first.
3. **Answer the preference questions** Describe the feel you want and the people who matter, then pay with One Wedding or a plan credit.
4. **Review and add it to the delivery** Watch the edit, ask for up to two revisions by email, and deliver it with the gallery.

## Ways photographers use it

- **A video add-on in a photo package**: Offer a short film as an upgrade and send the clips to WeddingEditor instead of editing them yourself.
- **A teaser to go with sneak-peek photos**: Pair sneak-peek photos with a Social Teaser made from the clips you shot.
- **A studio that shoots both**: Send the video side of each wedding to WeddingEditor and keep the photo team on galleries.

## Questions from wedding photographers

### I shot video on my photo camera. Is that enough footage?

Each project needs at least one uploaded file, and there is no upper limit. The edit can only use what you filmed, so use the preferences to say which moments matter most.

### Do I need to learn video editing software?

No. WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the edit, guided by your answers. If you later want to adjust it yourself, the MP4 opens in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro.

### Will there be music under the film?

Music supports the real sound, balanced by your audio preference. The edit keeps the original sound from your footage, such as vows and speeches.

### Can I get a vertical version for social media?

No. Every edit is widescreen 1080p; there is no vertical version.

### How do I pay if I only offer video occasionally?

Use One Wedding, $119 one-time for one wedding, for each wedding with video. A monthly plan suits steadier volume.

### Does WeddingEditor send the film to my couple?

No. You download it and choose how it is delivered.

### Can my second photographer's video clips go in too?

If they are signed in to your WeddingEditor team, they can add files through a team upload link that WeddingEditor sets up for you. Everything ends up in the same wedding project.
