# Post production wedding video editing: the stage where the film is actually cut

Wedding post-production covers everything from the card offload to the delivered file. The editing stage inside it, reviewing the footage, choosing the moments, cutting the speeches and building the story, is where most of the hours go. WeddingEditor takes on that stage: you upload the raw footage, brief the film, and its AI editing returns a finished Highlight Reel or Social Teaser. For the whole pipeline, see [wedding video post production](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video-post-production/).

## What post production wedding video editing is

Post production wedding video editing is the cutting stage of post-production: watching the day's footage, deciding what the film needs, trimming speeches to the lines worth keeping, choosing between camera angles and assembling a film with a beginning, middle and ending.

Not the same as: Not the same as the whole of post-production, which also includes backup, file management, color, titles and delivery.

## How the editing stage moves to WeddingEditor

1. **Offload and back up as usual** Your card and backup routine stays the same.
2. **Upload the raw footage** Add every camera's files to one wedding project in the browser, unsorted.
3. **Brief the cut** Style, audio balance, important people, must-include moments and things to avoid.
4. **Receive the cut film** Processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours. Review it, use up to two revision rounds, and carry on with your own finishing if you want any.

## What leaves your editing workload

- **Reviewing hours of footage**: You no longer scrub every clip to remember where the moments were.
- **Speech and vow selection**: Long toasts are cut to the lines worth remembering while the picture keeps moving.
- **Choosing between angles**: Footage from several cameras becomes one film, not separate problems.
- **Building the story**: The film is structured around story and emotion, not file order.

## What stays in your post-production

- **Backup and archiving**: Your copies of the footage remain your responsibility.
- **Delivery to the couple**: WeddingEditor never sends anything to your couple; you decide what to deliver.
- **Extra finishing**: Branded titles, a logo or your own grade are added in your editor if you want them.
