--- title: "Barn Wedding Teaser From Your Footage | WeddingEditor" url: https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/barn/teaser/ last_updated: 2026-10-11 --- # A barn wedding teaser that opens on the place and closes on the night A barn teaser has to say where the couple married before it says anything else. Many open on the place itself, a wide of the barn in its fields, sunlight through the slats or the doors swinging open, then cut quickly to the couple and one spoken line, and close on string lights, the dance floor or a sparkler exit. You choose the Social Teaser when you create the project, name those opening and closing beats in the preference questions, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the teaser as a widescreen 1080p MP4. You decide where it goes and when. WeddingEditor sends nothing to the couple.

Include the establishing shots you took of the venue on arrival, the drone pass if you flew one, and the evening clips under the lights; those are the raw material of a teaser. 2. **Set the first and last beats** In the must-include question, say what the teaser should open on and what it should end on. In the feel question, say whether it should be warm and quiet or full of the party. In the audio question, name the one line of vows or toast you would like heard. 3. **Receive and share it yourself** Buy One Wedding or use a credit and start processing, which typically takes 24 to 72 hours. Watch the teaser in the app, download the MP4, and post or send it whenever you choose. Up to two revision rounds by email are included. ## Opening and closing beats for a barn teaser A teaser is built around its first and last moments. These are beats videographers commonly ask for on barn days. - **Open: the barn in its setting**: "Open on the wide of the red barn with the field in front, or the drone shot rising over the roof." - **Open: the doors**: "Start on the barn doors sliding open to the room with the lights on." - **Middle: one sentence of vows**: "Keep her line 'you are my home' from the vows, from the lapel audio." - **Middle: the details**: "A couple of quick details: the hand-painted welcome sign, the jars of wildflowers on the tables." - **Close: the dance floor**: "End on the friends lifting the groom during the last song." - **Close: the exit**: "Finish on the sparkler tunnel and the truck pulling away." ## What a barn teaser needs - **A sense of place first**: The barn, the beams and the fields are what make the day recognizable. A wide or a detail of the venue near the start orients anyone watching. - **Warm light that reads at a glance**: String lights, lanterns and the glow through the doors are strong images for a teaser. Point WeddingEditor to the clips where faces are lit, not only the lights. - **A voice, not a speech**: A teaser rarely has room for a full toast. One clear line from the vows or a speech gives it a heartbeat. - **A clean ending**: Exits, last dances and sunset walks give the teaser somewhere to land. Name a first choice and a backup. - **Widescreen 1080p, one per project**: The Social Teaser is delivered as a 1080p H.264 MP4 in widescreen. There is no vertical version, so if you want one for social posts, crop it yourself. - **Music with a real line in it**: A teaser usually runs on music for momentum, with a vow line or a cheer from your footage cutting through. The audio preference decides how much of each you hear. ## Barn teaser beats and how to brief them | Beat | Purpose | How to brief it | |---|---|---| | Venue wide or aerial | Tells the viewer where they are | "Open on the drone shot over the barn roof." | | Getting ready detail | A quiet, personal start | "Her boots by the farmhouse door." | | Walk down the field aisle | The first look at the ceremony | "Dad and daughter walking past the hay bales." | | One spoken line | Gives the teaser a voice | "The vow line about home, lapel audio." | | Barn entrance | The energy shift into the party | "Doors open, guests on their feet." | | Final image | Where the teaser ends | "Sparkler exit; if unusable, the sunset kiss." | ## What is a barn wedding Social Teaser? A Social Teaser is the WeddingEditor deliverable for a teaser of the wedding, built from its strongest images and a little of its sound. For a barn wedding it often leans on the venue, the warm light and one spoken moment. You choose it when you create the project, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes it from your footage. Not the same as: It is not a vertical reel. The Social Teaser is delivered in widescreen 1080p; any vertical crop for phones is something you make yourself after download. ## Barn teaser questions ### Can the teaser open on the barn before showing the couple? Yes. Put it in the must-include question as the opening beat, for example the wide of the barn in the field, and the teaser can open there if the clip is usable. ### Should I upload the whole barn day for a teaser, or only the best clips? Upload the whole day. The edit chooses from what you send, and a teaser often borrows small moments, a detail or a glance, that you might not think to pick. ### Will the string light shots look grainy in the teaser? They start from what is in your files, and WeddingEditor works toward a consistent finished look across the evening clips. Point it to your cleanest string light shots in the preferences. ### Can I get both a barn teaser and a barn highlight? Yes, as two projects. Each project produces one edit and uses its own purchase or plan credit. ### Can I post the teaser vertically? The teaser comes as a widescreen MP4. Make a vertical crop in your own editor if you need one for a phone-first platform. ### What does a barn teaser cost? One Wedding is $119 one-time for one wedding for one project, whichever deliverable you choose; on a plan, the project uses one credit. ## More for barn weddings - [Barn wedding video editing](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/barn/): Everything about editing a barn day - [Barn wedding highlight](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/barn/highlight/): A Highlight Reel of the barn day - [Beach wedding teaser](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/beach/teaser/): A teaser built on sea, sun and wind - [Micro wedding teaser](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/micro-wedding/teaser/): A teaser for a small guest list - [All wedding types](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/wedding-types/) ## Open on the barn, close on the lights Create your account, start a Social Teaser project and write down your first and last beats.
