--- title: "Uploading Large Wedding Video Projects" url: https://www.weddingeditor.ai/guides/uploading-large-wedding-video-projects/ last_updated: 2026-10-12 --- # Uploading large wedding video projects A large wedding project, with several cameras, shooters, drone and audio files, is best uploaded as one complete wedding rather than in pieces. WeddingEditor does not treat a wedding as ready just because the first files arrived: if your upload is interrupted, come back and keep adding the remaining files, and editing can begin once the wedding is complete. Plan the upload by source so nothing is left on a card. [Start your first wedding](https://app.weddingeditor.ai/sign-up?redirect_url=/dashboard) ## Key takeaways - Upload the whole wedding into one project, from every camera and shooter. - A wedding is not ready until the footage is complete; an interrupted upload can be continued. - Plan by source (each camera, drone, audio) so no card is forgotten. - Each file can be up to 5 GB, with no limit on the number of files. - Add everything before you check out; the edit is made from exactly what you uploaded. ## Why large wedding uploads go wrong Big projects fail in boring ways: a card from the second shooter never gets copied, a laptop sleeps halfway through, a drone folder is left on a desktop, or someone starts the edit before the last camera finished. The result is a film built from part of the wedding. A multi-camera wedding should become one wedding story, and that needs the whole wedding in one place. ## Complete wedding first, then editing WeddingEditor treats completeness as the starting condition. An incomplete wedding means keep uploading; a complete wedding means editing can begin. It does not intentionally edit from an accidental partial upload. Every file must finish uploading, or be deliberately left out, before you check out or start processing. The app asks before continuing without unfinished files. ## If the upload is interrupted Large projects take time, and connections drop. If an upload session is interrupted, return to the project and continue adding the remaining wedding files. Keep the browser tab open while files transfer, and check the project before you continue so you know what still needs to go up. ## Plan the upload by source Before you start, list every source from the day: main camera, second shooter, static ceremony camera, drone, gimbal, phones and any separate audio. Upload source by source, and tick each off. This is the simplest way to make sure a whole perspective does not go missing. You do not need to sort, rename or pre-select clips. WeddingEditor works across footage from multiple cameras and shooters and turns it into one coherent film. ## Formats and limits WeddingEditor accepts .mov and .mp4 video and .wav audio. Each file can be up to 5 GB, and there is no limit on the number of files. If a camera split a long recording into several files, upload all of them. ## Before you check out Once you pay or use a credit, the footage in that project is locked so the edit is made from exactly what you uploaded. Do a final check against your source list, then start the edit. ## Large-project upload checklist - List every source: each camera, drone, gimbal, phones, audio. - Create one project for the wedding. - Upload source by source and tick each off. - If the upload stops, return and add the remaining files. - Confirm every file finished before you check out. ## Where WeddingEditor fits WeddingEditor takes large multi-camera weddings in the browser, with no file count limit and up to 5 GB per file, and waits for the complete wedding rather than editing from the first files that arrive. WeddingEditor has processed more than 6 TB of wedding footage, so large real projects are its normal workload. It cannot use files that never made it into the project. ## Frequently asked questions ### What happens if my wedding upload is interrupted? Return to the project and keep adding the remaining files. The wedding is not treated as ready until the footage is complete. ### Is there a limit on how much footage I can upload? No limit on the number of files; each file can be up to 5 GB. ### Do I need to sort clips by camera before uploading? No. Upload everything into the one wedding project. ### Can I add footage after I pay? No. The footage is locked once you pay or use a credit, so upload everything first. ## Related guides - [Editing a wedding shot on mixed cameras](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/guides/mixed-camera-wedding-editing/) - [Bad wedding audio and AI editing](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/guides/bad-wedding-audio-ai-editing/) - [What to tell an AI wedding editor](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/guides/what-to-tell-an-ai-wedding-editor/) - [Is AI wedding video editing safe for client footage?](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/guides/is-ai-wedding-video-editing-safe-for-client-footage/) - [Wedding video upload](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video-upload/) - [Sending large wedding video files](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/faq/how-do-i-send-large-wedding-video-files/) - [All guides](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/guides/) ## Start your first wedding Upload the footage from every camera, tell WeddingEditor what matters, and get a finished wedding film back.
