An Indian wedding teaser that makes the family want the full film
A teaser is a short preview, and for an Indian wedding the hardest choice is what to leave out. A strong teaser picks one striking opening, such as the dhol at the baraat, a burst of color at the haldi or the couple in their ceremony clothes, a few rising beats from the other events, and a closing image of the couple together. Choose Social Teaser when you create the project, describe the opening and the closing you want, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes it in widescreen from your footage.

How to brief an Indian wedding Social Teaser
- 1
Create a Social Teaser project
Choose Social Teaser as the project's deliverable and upload the footage it should draw from. You can upload every event or only the ones you want previewed; there is no need to pre-select clips.
- 2
Describe the opening, the middle and the close
Use the moments question to say what the first shot should be, which events belong in the middle, and how it should end. A teaser rarely has room for long speeches, so say whether any single line of dialogue should be heard.

Review it and decide when to share
After processing, which typically takes 24 to 72 hours, watch the teaser in the app and download the MP4. WeddingEditor sends nothing to the couple, so you choose when they see it, and up to two revision rounds by email are there if the opening is not right.
Opening and closing beats for an Indian wedding teaser
Open on sound
"Start on the dhol at the baraat before we see the groom."
Open on color
"Start on the haldi: turmeric on hands, marigold petals, the bride laughing."
Build through the events
"Then the sangeet stage, the mehndi on her hands, the groom on the horse, quick and in that order."
One line of voice
"Keep the bride's brother saying 'she's finally leaving us' at the sangeet; it is the only line we want heard."
Close on the couple
"End with the couple at the mandap after the sindoor, looking at each other."
A quieter alternative
"No dancing. Open on the ganesh puja diya, end on the vidaai car pulling away."
What an Indian wedding teaser needs
A first shot that stops a scroll
Indian weddings give strong openings: a dhol drummer mid-beat, a cloud of flower petals at the jaimala, hands covered in fresh henna. Pick one and name it.
Recognizable moments, quickly
A teaser works when relatives recognize the events at a glance: the haldi's yellow, the sangeet stage, the baraat crowd, the sacred fire. Quick glimpses of several events are usually enough.
Restraint with the ceremony
Many couples prefer the teaser to hint at the ceremony rather than show its most private moments, keeping those for the highlight or the full film. Say what is off limits.
Live sound only
The teaser keeps the sound you recorded: drums, crowds, a laugh, a single sentence, with music alongside, balanced by your audio preference.
Widescreen delivery
The teaser is delivered as a 1080p widescreen MP4, the same frame as your cameras. If you need a phone-shaped version for social, reframe it yourself in your editor.
Teaser beats for an Indian wedding
| Beat | Purpose | How to brief it |
|---|---|---|
| Opening image | Grab attention in the first second | "Open on the dhol at the baraat." |
| Events in sequence | Show the scale of the celebration | "Haldi, mehndi, sangeet, baraat, one shot each." |
| The couple | Make it about them | "At least two shots of the couple together before the end." |
| One voice | Give it a human line | "Keep the brother's line at the sangeet." |
| Closing image | Leave them wanting the full film | "End at the mandap after the sindoor." |
What is a Social Teaser of an Indian wedding?
A Social Teaser is WeddingEditor's short preview deliverable. For an Indian wedding it gives a quick taste of the celebration, made from the footage in the project by WeddingEditor's AI editing around the opening, moments and closing you describe.
It is delivered in widescreen at 1080p, not as a phone-shaped reel, and it is not a trailer of the full ceremony. Choose it when you create the project; one project produces one edit.
Indian wedding teaser questions
Which event should an Indian wedding teaser open on?
Whichever the couple will find most striking. The baraat and the haldi are common choices because they are loud and colorful, but a quiet opening on the ganesh puja or the bride getting ready works too. Name it in the moments question.
Can the teaser include a moment from the pheras?
Yes, if you list it. Some families prefer the teaser to stay away from the ceremony's most private moments, so say clearly what to show and what to leave for the highlight.
Can I get a teaser and a highlight of the same wedding?
Yes, as two projects. Each project produces one edit, either a Highlight Reel or a Social Teaser, and uses its own purchase or plan credit.
How is music used in the teaser?
The teaser uses real sound from your footage and music together. Choose mostly music-led for a fast preview or more voices if a blessing or a laugh should be heard; WeddingEditor does not promise a specific song.
Can I post it straight to Instagram?
The teaser comes as a widescreen 1080p MP4. For a phone-shaped post, reframe it in your own editor before sharing.
Do I need to sort the clips by event first?
No. Upload the files as they came off your cards; you do not need to rename, sort or pre-select them. Describe the events in the preference questions instead.
Does WeddingEditor know what an Indian family will accept in a teaser?
It does not set family or religious protocol. The teaser is cut from what you upload, guided by your notes, so ask the couple which sacred moments may appear in a public preview and leave the rest out of the upload or the avoid list.
