--- title: "Editing a Wedding Shot on Mixed Cameras" url: https://www.weddingeditor.ai/guides/mixed-camera-wedding-editing/ last_updated: 2026-10-12 --- # Editing a wedding shot on mixed cameras Most weddings are not shot on one identical camera. A single day can mix cinema or mirrorless bodies, a second shooter, phones, drones, action cameras and a static ceremony camera, in different picture profiles and frame rates. The aim is one coherent film rather than a viewer feeling every camera change. WeddingEditor is built around that reality: you upload footage from every camera and it treats the clips by how they serve the film.

Each has its own colour, recording settings and frame rate. You should not have to shoot the whole wedding on one camera for the footage to belong in one film. ## Making it feel like one film Footage may have been captured indoors and out, in daylight and after sunset, under reception lighting, on different cameras and with different picture profiles, including LOG. WeddingEditor works toward a consistent finished visual experience rather than making the viewer notice every camera change. Difficult lighting does not automatically make meaningful footage worthless. A dark reception or DJ lighting can still hold the best moments of the night. ## Mixed frame rates A project may contain real-time footage, higher-frame-rate footage meant for slow motion, clips from different shooters and clips from different devices. WeddingEditor treats those clips according to how they serve the film rather than expecting identical settings. Slow motion is used with a reason: entrances, couple portraits, dress or veil movement, dancing and emotional moments. Speech and natural real-time interactions usually stay natural. ## Phones, drones and gimbals Phone clips often hold candid moments nobody else caught; include them. Drone and gimbal footage is excellent for establishing the venue, showing the destination, revealing scale, transitions and entrances. It should support the wedding story rather than lead it. ## Practical upload tips for mixed footage Upload from every camera and shooter into the same wedding project. You do not need to sort or rename clips. Keep the browser tab open until every file finishes, and check that large files are within the per-file limit of 5 GB. ## A mixed-camera wedding and how each source tends to be used | Source | Typical settings | Usually used for | |---|---|---| | Main mirrorless body | LOG, real time and high frame rate | Ceremony, couple, key moments | | Second shooter, other brand | Different profile | Reactions, alternate angles | | Static ceremony camera | Wide, locked off | Coverage, vows audio, safety angle | | Drone | Aerial | Establishing the venue, transitions | | Phone | Auto settings | Getting ready, candid moments | ## Where WeddingEditor fits WeddingEditor takes video and audio from every camera into one wedding project, with no limit on file count and up to 5 GB per file, and its AI editing builds one film from them. You download a 1080p widescreen MP4 you can deliver or bring into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro. It cannot recover detail that a camera did not record. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I mix Sony, Canon and phone footage? Yes.
