No renaming, sorting or proxies are needed. - **During: the cut**: WeddingEditor's AI editing builds the edit from your footage and preference answers. - **After: your finishing pass**: Bring the 1080p MP4 into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro for grade, music, titles or anything else your style needs. - **Alongside: your other weddings**: Because each wedding is its own project, the edit for one wedding can be processing while you back up, upload or finish another. Post production stops being one long queue that runs through your evenings in order, and busy weekends stop stacking up into a backlog. - **Last: delivery**: You decide what goes to the couple and when. WeddingEditor never contacts them. ## What wedding video post production covers Post production for a wedding film usually runs in a fixed order. First comes data management: copying cards, checking files and organizing them by camera and part of the day. Then selects, where an editor watches the footage and marks usable moments. The cut follows, where those moments are arranged into a story with a beginning, a build and an end. Sound work balances speeches, vows and room audio. Color correction and grading give the film one consistent look. Music, titles and export come last, then delivery to the couple. A post production service can take on any of these. WeddingEditor takes on selects and the cut as a single paid step, so the most time-consuming part of the workflow moves off your desk. Not the same as: Not the same as a full-service post house. WeddingEditor does not deliver to your clients; you decide what to send and when. ## A post production workflow with WeddingEditor in it 1. **Ingest and back up** Copy and back up your cards in your usual way. Keep the original files, because those are what you upload. 2. **Upload and brief** Create a project, choose a Highlight Reel or a Social Teaser, upload every file in the browser and answer the optional preference questions. 3. **Start processing** Buy One Wedding or use a plan credit. Your footage locks, and processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours. 4. **Finish and deliver** Review the edit, use up to two revision rounds, download the MP4 and add your finishing in your editor before delivering. ## The steps WeddingEditor takes off your list - **Selects**: You do not need to pre-select clips or sort by camera before you upload. - **The cut**: WeddingEditor's AI editing makes every full edit and delivers it to your project. - **A brief that steers the cut**: Optional answers on film feel, audio approach, priorities, specific people, must-include moments and things to avoid shape the edit. - **Changes to the cut**: Up to two revision rounds are included with every full edit. - **A clean handoff file**: A 1080p H.264 MP4 that imports into the major editors. - **Locked source footage**: Once you pay, the footage is locked, so the cut is built from exactly the files you uploaded and nothing shifts underneath it. - **Original sound kept**: The edit keeps the sound recorded in your footage, ready for your own mix. ## Post production steps that stay with you - **Bad audio is worked around, not restored**: Poor sound on a key moment is worked around with other recordings, reactions or music where possible; it is not restored. - **Delivery files beyond 1080p**: There is no 4K or vertical version of the edit. - **It works with what was captured**: The edit cannot create a reaction that was never filmed or an angle that does not exist, so cover the moments that matter. ## Your post production with and without WeddingEditor | Step | Doing everything yourself | With WeddingEditor | |---|---|---| | Ingest and backup | You | You | | Selects and the cut | You | WeddingEditor's AI editing, from your brief | | Revisions to the cut | You | Up to two rounds by email | | Grade, music, titles | You | You, in your editor | | Delivery to the couple | You | You | ## What the editing step costs The edit is $119 one-time for one wedding per wedding, or one credit from a monthly plan such as Solo at $99 per month. - One Wedding: $119 one-time for one wedding - Solo: $99 per month, 1 wedding credit - Pro: $249 per month, 3 wedding credits - Studio: $599 per month, 8 wedding credits - Try Before You Buy: $10 one-time for a short sample edit from your own footage ## Questions about wedding video post production ### What is the wedding video post production timeline with WeddingEditor?

Only your backups. For WeddingEditor you do not need to rename, sort or pre-select; upload the files from every camera as they are. ### What audio does the edit use? The original sound recorded in your footage. Real audio and music are balanced by your audio preference. ### Can more than one person upload footage? Teammates signed in to your WeddingEditor team can add files through a team upload link that WeddingEditor sets up. ### Which post production steps take the longest? For most videographers it is selects and the cut: watching hours of footage, marking moments and arranging them into a story. That is the step WeddingEditor takes on.
