A Yoruba wedding teaser that leads with aso oke and the drums
A Social Teaser is the short edit the couple shares first. A Yoruba wedding gives you striking openings: the shimmer of aso oke, gele tied high, the talking drummer leading the groom's family in, the bride's veiled entrance. You choose the first and last beats in the preference questions, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the teaser from your footage as a widescreen 1080p MP4 that stays in your project until you share it.
The teaser is one project's edit; a highlight of the same wedding needs its own project.

How to brief a Yoruba wedding teaser
- 1
Create a Social Teaser project
Pick Social Teaser when you create the project and upload the footage it should come from, for example only the engagement, or the engagement and the reception if both should feature.
- 2
Choose how it opens and ends
Write the opening, such as "the talking drummer leading the groom's family in", and the closing, such as "the couple dancing after the fila", into the moments question. Add anything to keep out in the avoid question.
- 3
Receive it and share when ready
After processing, typically 24 to 72 hours, watch the teaser in the app and download it. WeddingEditor never contacts the couple or posts it.
Opening and closing beats for a Yoruba teaser
Open on fabric
A close look at the bride's aso oke or gele, then a wider view as she moves.
Open on the drum
The talking drummer playing as the groom's family arrives, if the sound is clean.
A flash of humor
The groom's friends going down for the dobale, a moment people recognize instantly.
The couple together
The bride placing the fila on the groom's head and their smiles.
Close on dancing
The couple dancing with both families around them.
Hold back
The letters, the full prayers and the church vows belong in the highlight, not the teaser.
What a Yoruba teaser needs
An instant cultural signal
Aso oke, gele and fila tell viewers whose wedding this is before anyone speaks.
One clear moment
The dobale or the fila makes a strong center for a short edit; trying to show every rite makes it feel rushed.
Widescreen output
The teaser is a widescreen 1080p MP4. If you need a vertical version, crop it yourself after download.
Your real sound, with music alongside
The talking drum and the band are what viewers hear, because the edit keeps your footage's sound. Want a song the couple chose? Swap it in with your own editor once the file is downloaded.
Save the depth for later
Leave the prayers and the full engagement for the highlight you deliver afterwards.
The alaga as a hook
A short burst of the alaga calling out to the groom's family can open a teaser with personality, as long as it is brief and the sound is clean.
Yoruba teaser beats and how to brief them
| Beat | Purpose | How to brief it |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | Stop the scroll | "Start on the bride's gele." |
| Signature moment | Make it unmistakably Yoruba | "Include the dobale." |
| The couple | Make it personal | "Keep the fila moment." |
| Ending | Leave them smiling | "End on the couple dancing." |
What is a Yoruba wedding Social Teaser?
A Social Teaser is a short edit chosen as a project's deliverable. For a Yoruba wedding it usually opens on attire or drumming, centers on one signature rite and closes on the couple.
It is not a vertical reel or a full highlight. Delivery is widescreen, and the highlight is a separate project.
Yoruba teaser questions
Should the teaser come from the engagement or the church day?
Most couples choose the engagement for its color and energy, but it is your call; note in the moments question.
Can the talking drum open the teaser?
Yes, if your recording is clear. Name the moment and the AI editing will look for it.
Can I get a vertical version?
No. The teaser is widescreen 1080p; make a vertical crop yourself if you need one.
Can I have both a teaser and a highlight?
Yes. Make one project for the teaser and another for the highlight; each one uses its own purchase or credit.
What if the opening is not the one I wanted?
Email a revision note from the link in the app naming the moment to open on. Up to two revision rounds come with every full edit.
Can the teaser show the groom's friends prostrating?
Yes, if you filmed it. Many couples like the dobale in the teaser because friends and family recognize it immediately. List it in the moments question and say whether it should open or sit in the middle.
Does WeddingEditor decide which part of a Yoruba wedding the teaser draws on?
No. Whether the teaser comes from the engagement or the church, and which customs are shared, is the couple's decision; WeddingEditor does not decide it. Say which in the preferences.
