A timeless wedding teaser made of a few held images
A timeless Social Teaser resists the habit of opening with a burst of quick cuts. It usually starts on one steady image of the place, moves through only three or four moments held long enough to register, and ends on a face, often the couple or a parent, rather than on a punchline. Describe that restraint in the preference questions and WeddingEditor's AI editing cuts the teaser from your footage as a widescreen MP4.
Short does not have to mean fast. A teaser of a handful of held shots can feel calmer and age better than one of many.

How to brief a timeless teaser
- 1
Create a Social Teaser project
Choose Social Teaser when you create the project; it is the only edit that project will make. A timeless highlight of the same wedding needs a second project with its own purchase or plan credit. Upload the footage the teaser could use.

Name a few images and ask for calm
In the preferences choose the style nearest your aim, then use the moments question to name three or four images and the order they should come in. In the last free-text question, ask for no quick-cut opening and no novelty elements.

Watch, download, decide
Processing typically takes 24 to 72 hours. Watch the finished teaser in your project and download the MP4; WeddingEditor never sends it to the couple, so sharing it is your call. Up to two revision rounds by email are included.
Opening and closing beats for a timeless teaser
Timeless teasers rely on a few steady beats. Notes like these set them.
Open on a place
"Open on the tripod wide of the farmhouse at dawn, held."
Open on hands
"Or open on her grandmother pinning the veil, close and steady."
Middle
"Then the aisle from the back of the barn, then the vows from the side, no more."
Close on family
"End on her father's face during the first dance."
Avoid
"No fast montage at the start, no phone shots, no props from the booth."
What a timeless teaser needs
Steady source shots
A teaser of held images depends on tripod or stabilised footage. If the only angle of a moment is shaky, it is better left out than cut quickly to hide it.
A sense of place
One wide image of the venue or the family home grounds a timeless teaser and gives it meaning for viewers years later.
An ending on a person
Closing on a face, a parent or the couple, tends to age better than closing on a joke, a crowd or a stunt.
Widescreen delivery
The Social Teaser arrives as a 1080p widescreen MP4; WeddingEditor makes no vertical version, so any phone-feed crop happens in your own editor.
Separate from the highlight
One project gives one edit, so a teaser and a highlight of the same wedding are two projects, each with a purchase or a plan credit.
Beats of a timeless teaser
| Beat | Purpose | How to brief it |
|---|---|---|
| Place | Grounds the teaser in somewhere real | Name the steady wide you want first |
| First moment | Introduces the day without hurry | One image, held |
| Second and third moments | Shows the commitment and the family | The aisle or vows, then a parent |
| Closing face | Ends on a person the family will treasure | Name the person and the moment |
| What to avoid | Keeps the teaser from dating | List props, signs or novelty shots to skip |
What is a timeless Social Teaser?
A Social Teaser is the shorter WeddingEditor deliverable and the one edit of its project. A timeless one uses a few steady, held images of the place, the couple and their family, cut by WeddingEditor's AI editing from your footage and the restraint you ask for.
Not a vertical clip made for a feed. The teaser is widescreen; a vertical crop for a phone-first platform is yours to make after download.
Timeless teaser questions
Can a teaser really be calm and still work?
Yes, if the images are strong. A few steady shots of the place, the vows and a parent's face can carry a teaser; what matters is choosing them well in the preferences.
What should a timeless teaser avoid?
Rapid cut openings, novelty props, phone-filming guests and anything tied to this year's trends. Write the specific things to avoid in the last free-text question.
Should the teaser feature the grandparents?
If they mattered to the day, a single held shot of them is often the most treasured part of a teaser years later. Name them and say where they appear.
Can I have a timeless teaser and a highlight?
Yes, as two projects, each with its own purchase or plan credit, since each project produces one edit.
Will the teaser have music?
Real wedding audio and music are used together. For a timeless teaser, Balanced speech & music lets the bells or a parent's voice come through with music underneath; Mostly music-led keeps it quieter on speech.
