# 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.
2. **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.
3. **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 the same as: 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.
