Wedding video editor for hire, or AI editing you hand off to
If you are looking for a wedding video editor for hire, you have two kinds of option: a freelancer you brief and manage, or a service that runs the edit as a process. WeddingEditor is the second kind. You do not hire a named person; you upload the raw footage, answer optional brief questions, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the edit. You get a Highlight Reel of about 5 minutes or a Social Teaser as a 1080p MP4, typically in 24 to 72 hours, with up to two revision rounds.
Creating an account is free; you only pay when you are ready to start an edit.
What hiring through WeddingEditor looks like
No interviews or test edits
There is no portfolio review or rate negotiation. You create a project, choose the deliverable and upload.
A written brief instead of a call
Preference questions capture the feel, the speech and sound balance, the people who matter, must-include moments and anything to avoid, up to 2,000 characters per free-text answer.
A predictable package
Each paid project returns one edit with up to two revision rounds, priced per wedding or by plan credit.
Work that does not depend on one person's calendar
Several weddings can be in progress at once, each as its own project.
What a wedding video editor for hire does
A wedding video editor for hire is usually a freelancer who takes a videographer's footage and returns an edit to an agreed brief, price and deadline. Hiring one well takes time: you look at reels, agree on a rate, share a style guide, transfer drives and manage revisions over email or a review tool. The upside is a long-term relationship with someone who learns your taste. The trade-off is that the arrangement depends on one person's availability during peak season. WeddingEditor replaces the hiring step with a fixed process. You brief through the app, WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the edit, and changes come through up to two revision rounds. You keep the creative direction and the finishing you want to do yourself.
Not a job board. WeddingEditor does not list or place freelance editors, and it is not hiring wedding video editors through these pages.

What you get compared with a freelance hire
An AI-made edit
Every full edit is made by WeddingEditor's AI editing and delivered to your project.
Brief fields that are always the same
The same optional questions every time, so your brief is complete and comparable across weddings.
Footage handover in the browser
Upload .mov, .mp4 and .wav files straight from your computer, with no file count or total size limit.
Revisions written into the price
Up to two revision rounds come with every full edit.
Re-downloads
The MP4 stays in the project and can be downloaded again later.
Your own finishing
Import the MP4 into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro for color, music or titles.
Where a freelancer may suit you better
You want one named editor
WeddingEditor does not assign a dedicated editor you can call. If a single long-term collaborator matters to you, hire one.
You need several deliverables from one booking
Each project returns one edit. A full film plus a teaser means separate projects.
You need a guaranteed date
Processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours, but there is no guaranteed turnaround.

Questions about hiring a wedding video editor
How much does it cost to hire a wedding video editor?
Freelance rates vary by editor and are set between you. With WeddingEditor the price is fixed per wedding: $119 one-time for one wedding, or one credit from a monthly plan.
Is WeddingEditor a freelance marketplace?
No. It is AI editing, not a marketplace of freelancers. You do not browse or choose individual editors; WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the edit.
Are you hiring wedding video editors?
These pages are for videographers who want an edit made. They are not job listings, and WeddingEditor does not recruit through them.
Can I give the same instructions I would give a freelancer?
Yes, through the optional preference questions. Describe the feel of the film, how much speech to keep, who matters most, the moments that must be included and anything to avoid.
What if I do not like the first version?
Up to two revision rounds are included with every full edit. Email your notes from the link in the app and the same edit is revised.
How long does it take compared with a freelancer?
Processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours after you start it, with no guarantee. A freelancer's timing depends on their queue.
Can my second shooter send footage directly?
Yes, if they are signed in to your WeddingEditor team. WeddingEditor can set up a team upload link so teammates add their files to the same wedding project. People outside your WeddingEditor team, including couples, cannot upload through a shared link.
Will the editor contact my couple for details?
No. WeddingEditor never sends anything to your couple. Everything the edit needs comes from your footage and your brief, and you stay the only point of contact for the client from booking to delivery.
Is there a way to see the style before paying for a full edit?
Yes. Try Before You Buy is a paid sample made automatically by AI from a selection of your own clips. You watch it in the app as a preview. It is a separate purchase and does not count toward the full edit.
Can I keep editing after I get the file?
Yes. The edit is a 1080p H.264 MP4 that you can bring into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro.
