A Somali wedding teaser the family will be happy to share
A Somali wedding teaser is a short widescreen first look at the aroos that the couple can share, so it should open strong and stay within what the family is comfortable showing publicly. Good openings include the couple's entrance under ululation or the bride's dress; good endings bring the couple together. Upload the aroos footage to a WeddingEditor project, choose Social Teaser, name the opening and closing beats and anything that must not appear, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the teaser.
A teaser is often shared widely, so agree with the family what may appear in it before you brief the edit.

How to brief a Somali wedding teaser
- 1
Create a Social Teaser project
Choose Social Teaser and upload the aroos footage. A teaser is its project's one edit; a highlight of the same wedding is a separate project.
- 2
Pick the beats and the boundaries
Name the opening and closing moments and two or three in between, and write in the avoid question who and what must stay out of a film that will be shared publicly.
- 3
Check it before it is shared
Pay or use a credit, start processing, and watch the teaser in the app. Use a revision round if anything should change before the couple shares it.

What a Somali wedding teaser needs
A public-friendly selection
Teasers are shared with people who were not at the wedding, so many families are more careful about what appears in them than in a private film. Agree the boundaries with the couple and their parents before you write the brief.
One strong opening
The entrance or the dress gives a clear, immediate opening without explaining the whole day.
Live sound as the hook
The ululation and singing recorded at the entrance give the teaser its energy, kept as recorded.
Its own project
A Social Teaser is a project's one edit, separate from any Highlight Reel project.
Widescreen delivery
The teaser is a 1080p widescreen MP4 with no vertical version; crop one yourself if the couple wants it for phone-first sharing.
Teaser beats and how to brief them
| Beat | Purpose | How to brief it |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | Catches attention immediately | "Entrance and ululation first." |
| The couple | Keeps them at the center | "Couple together within the first beats." |
| The dancing | Shows the joy of the day | "One dhaanto beat, family only." |
| The family | Shows who was there for them | "Both mothers with the bride." |
| Closing | Leaves a warm last image | "End on the couple, not the venue." |
What is a Social Teaser of a Somali wedding?
A Social Teaser is a short widescreen edit of the celebration, made by WeddingEditor's AI editing from the footage you upload, for the couple to share. It is the single edit of its project.
It is not a vertical reel and not a Highlight Reel; a vertical crop is something you make yourself from the MP4.
Somali wedding teaser questions
Should the teaser show guests?
Only guests the family is comfortable showing publicly. WeddingEditor edits the footage you upload and does not decide what is appropriate; write the family's rule in the avoid question, or leave those clips out of the upload.
Can the teaser open on the ululation?
Yes, if your cameras recorded it. Name the entrance as the opening beat and the original sound comes with it.
Can I get a teaser and a highlight of the same aroos?
Yes, for a Somali wedding that means two projects, each with its own purchase or plan credit.
Will the teaser work on social media?
It is a 1080p widescreen MP4. If the couple wants a vertical version, crop it yourself after download.
Can WeddingEditor post or send the teaser?
No. WeddingEditor never sends anything to your couple or posts anywhere; you download the teaser and decide how it is shared.
What if the family wants a private teaser just for relatives?
Make that clear in the preferences, and you can be less restrictive about which guests appear. The teaser is delivered to your project only, and you decide who receives it.
Which is better for a teaser, the entrance or the dancing?
Many teasers open on the entrance, because it is instantly recognizable and carries the ululation, and use a short beat of the dancing before the closing image. If the dancing was the family's favorite part, ask for it to open instead.
