What a Thai wedding teaser should show first
A Social Teaser of a Thai wedding has room for only a few beats, so the first one should say at once that this is a Thai wedding: the khan maak procession coming in to the long drum, the couple seated in their joined mongkol, or a monk's hand sprinkling water. The rest hints at the day without retelling it. Create a Social Teaser project, upload your footage, name the opening and closing beats, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes a teaser of about a minute.

How to brief a Thai wedding teaser
- 1
Start a Social Teaser project
Pick Social Teaser when you create the project and upload the footage it should draw from, morning and evening alike. The upload runs in your browser; keep the tab open until every file is in.
- 2
Write the opening and the ending
In the moments question, give the first image, the last image and two or three beats between. The procession, the gates and the water pouring are the strongest Thai beats; the reception gives you an energetic finish if you want one.

Get it back and adjust
Processing is typically 24 to 72 hours from the start, and there is no guaranteed turnaround. The teaser waits in your project as a widescreen 1080p MP4, and up to two emailed revision rounds are included.
Opening and closing beats for a Thai wedding teaser
Write beats like these into the moments question. A short, specific note is easier to follow than a long wish list, and it leaves less to guess about a family WeddingEditor has never met.
Open: the drum
"Open on the long drum and the trays coming up the driveway."
Open: the mongkol
"Open close on the joined mongkol being placed on their heads."
Middle: the gate
"One beat of the cousins blocking the groom at the gold gate, then him laughing as he pays."
Middle: water
"Her grandmother pouring water from the conch shell over their hands."
Close: night
"End on the couple in their evening clothes walking into the ballroom."
Keep out
"Leave the sin sod out of the teaser entirely."
What a Thai wedding teaser needs
An unmistakable first beat
The procession, the gates and the water pouring are visual signatures of a Thai wedding. Leading with one of them tells viewers what kind of wedding this is straight away.
Sound that carries
The long drum and the laughter at the gates work well in a short piece; long chanting and quiet spoken blessings usually suit the highlight better.
Respect for the sacred moments
Some families prefer the monks' blessing to appear only briefly, or not at all, in something shared publicly. Ask the couple and note it in the brief.
A promise of more
The teaser hints; the highlight and your own film tell the full story. Many videographers hold back the most emotional blessing for the longer edits.
Widescreen and your own sound
The Social Teaser comes as a widescreen 1080p MP4 in which music leads and the long drum or a blessing can come through, as your audio preference sets; there is no portrait version.
Beats of a Thai wedding teaser
| Beat | Purpose | How to brief it |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | Identifies the wedding at once | "Drum and trays arriving." |
| Ritual glance | One sacred image, kept short | "Monk sprinkling water, a single shot." |
| Comic beat | Shows the family's warmth | "The gold gate standoff." |
| Blessing | The emotional note | "Grandmother pouring water." |
| Outfit change | Shows the shift from morning to night | "Cut from the gold Thai dress to the evening gown." |
| Close | Leaves on celebration | "Ballroom entrance at night." |
What a Thai wedding Social Teaser is
A Social Teaser is WeddingEditor's shorter deliverable, a widescreen edit that previews the wedding in a few strong beats. For a Thai wedding it typically picks one image each from the procession, the rituals and the celebration, chosen from your footage by WeddingEditor's AI editing. Because the morning and evening often look so different, a teaser can also show the change of clothes as a quick cut between the two halves of the day.
It is not a tall phone-format clip and not the highlight. If you need a portrait cut for stories, reframe the widescreen file yourself.
Thai wedding teaser questions
Should the monks appear in a teaser meant for social media?
Ask the couple. Some families are glad to share the blessing, others prefer it kept for the family film. Write their choice in the brief either way.
Can the teaser use only the morning ceremonies?
Yes. Upload just the morning, or say in the avoid question that the reception should not appear.
Which Thai moment makes the strongest opening?
It depends on what you filmed best. The procession gives sound and movement; the mongkol and the water pouring give a calm, close start. Pick one and name it.
Can I get both a teaser and a highlight of a Thai wedding?
Yes, as two projects, since each project returns one edit and needs its own purchase or credit.
The gates were loud and chaotic. Will the teaser make sense of them?
Give the edit one clear beat to use: who blocked the way, which gate, and the moment the groom got through. A single named exchange reads better in a short piece than a long stretch of crowd noise.
Will the teaser be sent to the couple?
No. It waits in your project; you download it and decide when they see it.
