A Scottish wedding teaser that opens on the pipes
A Social Teaser of a Scottish wedding has an easy hook: the first skirl of the pipes, a swish of tartan, a wide view of a castle or a hill. What it needs from you is a decision about which of those to lead with and how to end, usually on the ceilidh at its wildest. Create a WeddingEditor project with Social Teaser as the deliverable, upload your footage, and write the opening and closing beats into the preference questions. WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the teaser and it is delivered to your project as a widescreen 1080p MP4. Because a teaser is short, every second you describe in the preferences counts, so be specific about the two or three images that must be there.

How to brief a Scottish teaser
- 1
Pick Social Teaser and upload
Choose Social Teaser when you create the project and upload the day from every camera, including the ceilidh, since teasers often end there.
- 2
Name the hook and the finish
Say which image or sound should come first, such as the pipes or the venue, and what the last shot should be. Keep spoken words to one line at most.
- 3
Review it and publish on your terms
Watch it in the app, download the MP4, and request changes by email in up to two revision rounds. WeddingEditor does not post or send it anywhere.
Opening and closing beats for a Scottish teaser
Open on the drones of the pipes
The piper filling his bag and the first notes, before any picture of the couple.
Open on the place
A castle, a loch or a glen under big cloud, held for a breath.
A flash of tartan
The kilt pleats swinging as the groom walks, or the sash on the bride's shoulder.
The middle
Hands bound in cord or the quaich passing between them, kept to a moment.
Close on the reel
Dancers spinning in Strip the Willow, mid-laugh.
Close on the knot
For a handfasting couple, the bound hands held up to the guests as a final image.
What a Scottish wedding teaser needs
One strong signature
Pipes, tartan or landscape each say Scotland instantly; one of them in the opening is usually enough.
Brevity with the customs
A teaser has no room to explain a quaich or a handfasting. Show the moment and save the meaning for the highlight.
End on movement
The ceilidh gives a teaser an ending with real momentum.
Ceremony settings photograph differently
A teaser of a castle or hillside wedding often opens on the landscape, while a church or registry office wedding usually opens closer, on the couple or the door. Say which kind of opening suits this wedding.
Widescreen only
The teaser comes as a widescreen 1080p MP4 with no tall version; crop it yourself for phone-first platforms.
Your sound, with music
If the pipes are in your footage they can carry the teaser, with music in support, as your audio preference sets.
Beats of a Scottish teaser and how to brief them
| Beat | Purpose | How to brief it |
|---|---|---|
| Pipes or place | Instant sense of Scotland | "Open on the piper's first notes." |
| Tartan detail | Texture and character | "A shot of the kilt pleats walking." |
| The custom | What made the day theirs | "Quaich passing, one beat." |
| The kiss or the exit | The turn of the story | "Exit behind the piper." |
| The ceilidh | Finish high | "End mid-spin in Strip the Willow." |
What is a Scottish wedding Social Teaser?
A Social Teaser is a short widescreen edit of a Scottish wedding made from your uploaded footage to give a first look at the day. It is the deliverable you pick for the project, made by WeddingEditor's AI editing.
It is not the Highlight Reel and it is not a phone-shaped reel. A teaser and a highlight of the same wedding are two projects.
Scottish teaser questions
Can the whole teaser run on the pipes?
If the piper's playing in your footage is long and clear enough, you can ask for that. Say so in the preferences and mention which clips have the best sound.
Should I include the speeches?
One line at most. Teasers move fast, so a single laugh from a speech is usually plenty.
Will WeddingEditor recognize our clan tartan?
Only if you describe it. Tell them who wore what, for example "groom in red and green tartan, best man in grey tweed".
Can I post it straight to a phone-first feed?
Not as delivered, because the file is widescreen. Make a tall or square copy yourself from the MP4 in your own editor if a platform needs one.
What does it cost to make a teaser?
A teaser is one project, paid for with $119 one-time for one wedding or a plan credit.
Does WeddingEditor decide which moments are fine to share in a teaser?
No, that is the couple's decision. Name what may appear in the preferences and leave anything private out of the upload; WeddingEditor's AI editing works only from what you send.
