--- title: "African Wedding Teaser from Your Footage | WeddingEditor" url: https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/african/teaser/ last_updated: 2026-10-11 --- # A teaser for a wedding where two African traditions meet A Social Teaser for a blended African wedding has little time, so the strongest teasers show contrast and union: a flash of one family's attire, a flash of the other's, and the two families celebrating together at the end. You pick those beats in the preference questions, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the teaser from your footage. The result is a widescreen MP4 at 1080p that stays in your project until you decide to share it. A teaser and a highlight of the same wedding are separate projects.

Files go in straight from your cards, and teammates on your team can add theirs through a team upload link that WeddingEditor sets up. 2. **Pick the contrast and the union** In the moments question, list a moment from each tradition, such as the bride in kente and then in a kitenge dress, and the closing beat where both families come together. Name anything to avoid, and describe each family's attire so the AI editing can tell the two ceremonies apart. 3. **Receive it and share when ready** After processing, which usually takes 24 to 72 hours, watch the teaser in the app and download it. WeddingEditor does not post it or send it to anyone. ## Opening and closing beats for a blended teaser - **Open on the first tradition**: The couple in the first family's attire, or that family's drummers or elders. - **Cut to the second**: The couple in the second family's attire, showing the change. - **One voice from each**: A short line from each side, in each family's language, if the recordings are clear. A parent's blessing or an elder's welcome works well because both families will recognize the voice. - **The families meeting**: Both families greeting or exchanging gifts. - **Close together**: Both families dancing with the couple at the reception. - **Hold back**: Full rites and long speeches belong in the highlight or the longer film you deliver. ## What a blended teaser needs - **Contrast first**: Showing each family's attire or music in quick succession tells viewers at once that two traditions are meeting. - **Union last**: Ending on both families together gives the teaser its point. - **Widescreen output**: Delivery is a widescreen 1080p MP4. Make any vertical version yourself after download, in the editing software you already use. - **Original sound**: The teaser keeps the sound from your footage, so music from both families is heard only if you recorded it. A specific song the couple loves can go in afterwards, in your own editor. - **Respect both**: Give each tradition a moment; a teaser that features only one side can upset the other family, especially when relatives travelled a long way to attend. - **Mind the family balance**: If one family's ceremony was much longer or louder, the teaser can still give it the same brief moment as the other. Say so in the moments question. ## Blended teaser beats and how to brief them | Beat | Purpose | How to brief it | |---|---|---| | First tradition | Set the scene | "Open on the bride in kente." | | Second tradition | Show the meeting of cultures | "Then the couple in kitenge with the elders." | | Voices | Make it personal | "One short line from each father." | | Union | End on the point | "Close on both families dancing together." | ## What is a Social Teaser for a blended African wedding? A Social Teaser is a short edit chosen as a project's deliverable. For a wedding blending African traditions it usually contrasts each family's look or sound and ends with the families together. Not the same as: It is not a vertical reel and not a highlight. Delivery is widescreen, and a highlight is its own project. ## Blended teaser questions ### Can the teaser show both families' attire? Yes, if both ceremonies are in the project. List one moment of each in the moments question. ### Can the teaser end on the families together? Yes. Write that as the closing beat; it often makes the strongest ending. ### Can I get a teaser of only one family's ceremony? Yes. Upload just that ceremony to the project, or say in the moments question which footage to draw from. ### What if one family's moment is missing? Email a revision note from the link in the app naming the moment. Every full edit includes up to two rounds. ### The two ceremonies were weeks apart. Should the teaser use both? It can if both are in the same project, and the contrast often works well. If you uploaded only one ceremony, the teaser draws only on that footage. ### Who makes the teaser? WeddingEditor's AI editing makes it and delivers it to your project. ### Does WeddingEditor decide which family's ceremony opens the teaser? No. In a blended wedding that choice can matter to both families, and WeddingEditor does not decide it. Agree the opening with the couple, then name it in the preferences; the AI editing follows what you write. ## More for African and diaspora weddings - [African wedding video editing](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/african/): Blended and diaspora weddings - [African wedding highlight](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/african/highlight/): The about 5-minute version - [Ghanaian wedding teaser](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/ghanaian/teaser/): A Ghanaian teaser - [Nigerian wedding teaser](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/nigerian/teaser/): A Nigerian teaser - [All cultures](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/cultures/) ## Two families, two traditions, one teaser Upload the footage, choose a moment from each family's tradition and the closing beat, and share the finished teaser when the couple is ready for it.
