--- title: "Chinese Wedding Teaser From Raw Footage | WeddingEditor" url: https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/chinese/teaser/ last_updated: 2026-10-11 --- # A Chinese wedding teaser that opens loud and lands on the couple A Social Teaser of a Chinese wedding works best when it picks a few strong beats and lets them breathe: the groomsmen pleading at the bride's door, a hand passing a cup of tea to a grandmother, the couple bowing, a ballroom on its feet for the yam seng. Lead with whatever the couple will recognise in the first second, and close on them together. Create a WeddingEditor project, choose Social Teaser, upload the day, and use the preference questions to name the opening and closing beats. WeddingEditor's AI editing makes a teaser of about a minute from them. The teaser is a widescreen 1080p MP4. If you want a portrait cut for a phone feed, reframe it yourself after download.

Upload the files from every camera that covered the bride's home, the groom's home, any ceremony and the banquet. Clips do not need to be trimmed or pre-selected first, and nothing about the upload has to be sorted. 2. **Name the beats, not the whole day** A teaser has no room for every elder or every course. In the moments question, list the three or four beats you want, in the order you want them, and say which one should open it. For the feel question, Fun & energetic suits a teaser built on the door games and the banquet; Romantic & elegant suits one built on the tea ceremony and portraits. 3. **Watch it, then decide what goes out** After you pay with One Wedding or a plan credit, processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours. Watch the teaser in the app, download the MP4, and send it to the couple yourself when you are ready, because WeddingEditor never contacts them. Up to two email revision rounds are included if a beat needs to change. ## Opening and closing beats for a Chinese wedding teaser Pick one opening and one closing, then two or three beats between them. Write them into the moments question in order. - **Open on the door**: "Start on the bridesmaids' faces through the gate grille as the groom arrives, with the shouting about red packets audible." - **Open on red and gold**: "Start with a close detail of the bride's qun kwa embroidery and her hands, then cut wide to the room." - **The middle beat: tea**: "One cup handed to her grandmother with both hands, and her grandmother smiling as she drinks." - **The middle beat: leaving home**: "Her father walking her to the car, no speech, just the moment." - **Close on the toast**: "End on the couple on stage with the whole ballroom raising glasses for the final yam seng." - **Close quietly**: "End on the couple alone at the hotel window after the banquet, no crowd." ## What a Chinese wedding teaser needs - **A recognisable first shot**: The opening of a teaser decides whether people keep watching. For many Chinese weddings the strongest openers are the door games, the red and gold of the bride's outfit, or the couple's banquet entrance. - **Few beats, clearly chosen**: A teaser shows a handful of moments, not the structure of the day. Choosing them is your call with the couple; the edit uses the beats you list and does not decide which customs matter most. - **Sound that carries without words**: Speeches in Cantonese or Mandarin may not land with every viewer in a short piece, but a cheer, laughter at the door or the yam seng does. Say in the audio question whether voices or the room's sound should lead. - **Red, gold and the double happiness sign**: Many families dress the home, the car and the banquet stage in red, with the double happiness character on doors, tea sets and gift boxes. A one second detail of these tells viewers what kind of wedding they are watching before anyone speaks, so it is worth naming one in the brief. - **Leave the long moments for other edits**: The tea ceremony for every relative and the full speeches belong in a longer film you cut yourself, or in a Highlight Reel project of about 5 minutes. - **One Social Teaser per project**: The project produces the Social Teaser and nothing else. It arrives as a 1080p widescreen MP4 in which music drives the pace and a shout or a laugh from your footage can cut through, as your audio preference sets. ## Beats of a Chinese wedding teaser | Beat | Purpose | How to brief it | |---|---|---| | Opening | Make it unmistakably this wedding | "Open on the door games, groomsmen mid challenge." | | Detail | Show the colours and craft of the day | "Close up of the dragon and phoenix bangles." | | Place | Set the scene in one shot | "The double happiness sign on the bride's front door." | | Family | Show who the day is for | "Tea to the bride's grandmother, once." | | Couple | Give the viewer a reason to care | "The couple laughing during portraits by the river." | | Energy | Lift before the end | "Banquet entrance, guests standing." | | Closing | Leave a single strong image | "Final yam seng, everyone's glasses up." | ## What is a Social Teaser of a Chinese wedding? A Social Teaser is a short edit of a few chosen beats from the day, made to be shared before or alongside the longer film. With WeddingEditor it is the one edit of its project, cut from your uploaded footage by WeddingEditor's AI editing around the opening, closing and middle beats you name. Not the same as: It is not a portrait reel cut for a phone screen; it is delivered in widescreen at 1080p. It is also not the Highlight Reel of about 5 minutes, which is a separate project and a separate edit. ## Chinese wedding teaser questions ### Should a Chinese wedding teaser open on the door games or the tea ceremony? Either works; it depends on the couple. The door games give an energetic, funny start, while the tea ceremony opens on family and feeling. Name your choice as the first item in the moments question so the edit follows it. ### Can the teaser include a line of a speech in Cantonese? Yes, if your camera recorded it clearly. Say which line in the speeches question, with the speaker and roughly when it was said. Keep in mind a short teaser has room for very few spoken lines. ### Can I get the teaser in time to post during the banquet? No. Processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours from when you start it, with no guaranteed turnaround, so plan to post the teaser in the days after the wedding. If the couple wants something on the night, cut a quick clip yourself. ### Will WeddingEditor post the teaser or send it to the couple? No. The teaser stays in your project for you to watch and download, and you decide when the couple and their families see it. ### Can I order a teaser and a highlight of the same Chinese wedding? Yes, as two projects. Create a Social Teaser project and a Highlight Reel project, upload the footage to each, and pay for each or use a credit for each. ### How much is a Chinese wedding teaser? One Wedding is $119 one-time for one wedding, and it covers one edit, here the teaser. Plan subscribers use one credit instead. ## More for Chinese weddings - [Chinese wedding video editing](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/chinese/): The whole wedding, event by event - [Chinese wedding highlight](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/chinese/highlight/): The day in about 5 minutes - [Door games highlight](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/chinese/door-games/): The morning challenges as their own edit - [Chinese wedding banquet highlight](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/chinese/banquet/): The evening as its own edit - [All cultures](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/cultures/) ## Open on the door, close on the toast Create your account, choose Social Teaser, and list the beats you want the couple to see first.
