A wedding highlight that arrives finished, with Premiere Pro kept for your own touches
Most Premiere Pro wedding edits start the same way: hundreds of clips in a bin and an empty timeline. WeddingEditor takes that job on. Upload the wedding, choose a Highlight Reel, answer the optional preference questions, and WeddingEditor's AI editing delivers a finished film of about 5 minutes as a 1080p H.264 MP4, with real wedding audio and music balanced by your audio preference and a consistent look across your cameras. Premiere Pro stays in your workflow for whatever you add on top: your title card, your logo, captions or a vertical copy.
There is no Premiere project or editable sequence to download, only the finished MP4, so treat it as a locked film you add your brand to.

From upload to the file you deliver
- 1
Brief the highlight, not the timeline
Create a project, choose Highlight Reel and upload every camera's files without renaming or sorting them. In the optional preference questions, pick the style, choose the audio approach (More speeches & voices, Balanced speech & music or Mostly music-led), name the people who must appear and list the must-include moments.

Settle the film before Premiere opens
Processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours. Watch the edit in the app first. If a moment is missing or a speech runs long, send the note by email in one of up to two revision rounds now, because anything you add in Premiere on top of a cut that later changes has to be redone.

Import and build a sequence
Download the MP4 and import it with File > Import or the Media Browser. Right-click the clip in the Project panel and choose New Sequence From Clip, so the sequence matches the file's 1920x1080 frame size and frame rate rather than a preset you guessed.

Add your layer and export
Put your title card, logo and any captions on tracks above the clip, then open Export mode, choose H.264 and a preset such as Match Source, High Bitrate, and export the file you deliver.
Optional touches editors add in Premiere Pro
None of these is needed for a finished film. They are the studio-specific extras some videographers like to keep in their own hands.
A title card in your house style
Use the Type tool and the Essential Graphics panel, or a Motion Graphics template you already own, for the couple's names and date over the opening shot or on black before it.
Logo and end card
Close with your studio logo or a thank-you card on black, so the delivered file carries your brand and your contact details.
Split the clip where you need a title
Park the playhead on a cut inside the MP4 and use Add Edit (Cmd+K or Ctrl+K) so one section can carry a lower third without the title running across the whole film.
Captions for a speech line
Open the Text panel, transcribe the sequence and turn the lines you want into captions, then check the spelling of every name against your notes.
A light house look, if you have one
The film already arrives with a consistent finished look across cameras. If your studio signs every film with a subtle look, put Lumetri Color on an adjustment layer and keep the move small, because a delivery MP4 holds less latitude than camera originals.
A softer opening
Keyframe the opacity of the first shot so the film fades in from black under your title rather than starting on a hard cut.
What to know about the MP4 before you open Premiere Pro
One finished file
The highlight arrives as a single MP4 with picture and sound together. There is no Premiere project, no editable sequence and no separate tracks.
1080p widescreen H.264
The file is 1920x1080, widescreen, encoded as H.264, which Premiere Pro imports directly. There is no 4K or vertical master.
Sound already balanced
Vows, toasts and room sound play with music, balanced by the audio preference you chose. If the mix should lean differently, say so in a revision note rather than rebuilding it in Premiere.
About 5 minutes, one per project
The Highlight Reel runs about 5 minutes, one edit per project. A separate teaser for posting is a separate project with a Social Teaser.
Changes go through revisions
Missing a grandparent or a ring shot is a revision note, not an evening in Premiere: up to two revision rounds come with every full edit.
Download it again when needed
If a Premiere project needs relinking months later, download the same MP4 again from the project in the app.
Premiere Pro tasks for a finished highlight
| Task | Where in Premiere Pro | Tip for a wedding highlight |
|---|---|---|
| Import | File > Import, or the Media Browser | Keep the MP4 next to your logo and graphics in one project folder so relinking stays simple |
| Sequence settings | Right-click the clip > New Sequence From Clip | Avoid a mismatched preset; scaling a 1080p file up to a larger frame softens it |
| Titles | Type tool, Essential Graphics or Properties panel | Keep names inside the title-safe area |
| Captions | Text panel, Transcribe, then Create Captions | Correct names by hand; they are easy to mishear |
| Vertical copy | Sequence > Auto Reframe Sequence on a duplicate | Check every shot for cropped faces |
| Export | Export mode, H.264, Match Source, High Bitrate | Watch the exported file once end to end before sending it |
Where does Premiere Pro fit once WeddingEditor edits the highlight?
WeddingEditor's AI editing does the wedding-editing job itself: choosing the moments, giving the vows and speeches room, and assembling the footage from every camera into one film of about 5 minutes. Premiere Pro becomes one more part of your production workflow rather than the place you spend the weekend, used for titles, branding, captions and extra versions. The structure of the film is settled through your preferences and up to two revision rounds.
It is not editing the wedding from raw footage in Premiere Pro, and WeddingEditor does not send a Premiere project, a sequence or any file other than the MP4.
Premiere Pro highlight questions
Does Premiere Pro open the WeddingEditor MP4 without converting it?
Yes. It is a standard 1080p H.264 MP4, a format Premiere Pro imports natively. Bring it in like any other clip and build the sequence from it.
Can I get the highlight as a Premiere project so I can change the cuts?
No. WeddingEditor delivers the finished MP4 only. If the structure needs to change, such as more of a speech or less of the dance floor, ask for it in one of the revision rounds and the same edit is revised.
Do I still need to mix music under the vows in Premiere?
No. The film already uses real wedding audio and music together, balanced by your audio preference. Choose More speeches & voices when you brief it if the vows and toasts should carry more of the film.
Can Premiere Pro make a phone-shaped copy of the highlight?
Yes, as your own step. WeddingEditor delivers widescreen only, but Sequence > Auto Reframe Sequence can build a vertical copy that you then check shot by shot, since faces at the frame edge can be cropped.
Should I add titles before or after the revision rounds?
After. If a revision changes the cut, a title placed over a shot that moved has to be redone, so settle the film first.
What does the highlight cost?
One Wedding is $119 one-time for one wedding; plan subscribers spend one credit per project instead.
