A wedding video editing workflow with AI

Editing a wedding includes both repeated work and decisions that depend on the couple. Wedit brings automated selection and assembly into that process while keeping the film available for your review and finishing.

Before the edit: keep the wedding organized

Back up your camera and recorder files and keep their folders easy to identify. Decide what you are delivering: a highlight, a longer film or both. Choose the songs and note the moments the couple expects to see.

In Wedit, choose wedding sections and assign the footage to them. You set the length and select the material the edit can use. The highlights workflow follows Song, Footage, Sections, Tag and Export.

Selection and assembly

In a manual edit, you choose source moments, place them on the timeline and decide their length against the music. Wedit proposes those selections and builds the sequence from your footage and settings. You then have an edit to watch and revise.

For longer coverage, the Full movie workflow keeps chapters together. A music montage and a continuous multicam ceremony need different treatment, so choose the mode that matches each chapter.

Review with a purpose

Watch the complete film first. Check whether the important people appear, whether sections repeat the same idea and whether the opening and ending suit the film. Then use the shot board to make specific changes.

A useful change has a reason: replace a distracting expression, remove a repeated angle or include a reaction that matters to this couple. The decision stays yours.

Color, sound and detailed finishing

Use timeline export to continue in your usual editor. This is where you can work on camera matching, dialogue levels, music transitions and precise cuts. Keep the originals connected so the sequence can find its source files.

Measure the whole workflow

Compare the total time spent on preparation, upload, selection, review and export. A faster generation step is only useful if it also helps you finish the film. Use a wedding you know, and assess the result against the work you intend to deliver.
