How to build a wedding videography editing workflow that holds up in peak season

By WeddingEditor

A wedding videography editing workflow that scales has five fixed parts: one intake routine for footage, a written brief per wedding, a single place where the cut is made, one review step, and clear rules for revisions and delivery. Fix those, and every wedding moves the same way whoever, or whatever, makes the cut.

Start your first wedding

Key takeaways

Every wedding enters the workflow the same way.
The brief is written, not remembered.
Decide where the cut is made for each kind of film.
One review step before anything reaches the couple.
Revision and delivery rules are agreed in advance.

1. Intake

Offload and back up every card the same way, and record which cameras and shooters were on the day. With WeddingEditor, teammates in the same team can add files through a team upload link that WeddingEditor sets up for you.

2. The brief

Write it within a day of the wedding: names, important people, must-include moments, things to avoid, the style and audio balance. In WeddingEditor these are the project's preferences.

3. Where the cut is made

Decide per film type. For example, highlights and teasers in WeddingEditor, long-form films in your own editor. Consistency matters more than the choice.

4. Review

One person watches every film before delivery, once without stopping and once with notes. Finishing touches such as titles happen here, in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro if you use them.

5. Revisions and delivery

Agree with couples how many rounds of changes are included. WeddingEditor includes up to two revision rounds on every full edit, requested by email. Delivery stays with you; WeddingEditor never sends anything to your couple.

Where WeddingEditor fits

WeddingEditor slots into step 3 as the place the highlight or teaser is cut. Processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours, so the cut is rarely the step that holds a wedding up.

Frequently asked questions

Can several people upload to one project?

How many revisions should I offer couples?

That is your business decision; WeddingEditor includes up to two rounds on its side.
