How to edit wedding videos faster with AI

The editors who work fastest leave the mechanical part to AI —watching hundreds of clips, sorting them by moment and building a first cut to the music— and keep the creative part. WedCut does that first half on your computer, on Mac or Windows, and hands it to you as an editable project in Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere.

Where the time goes in a wedding, and what AI can do

Step by step

A wedding workflow with AI, from card to delivery

  1. Offload the cards and import

    You import the folders from every camera and the drone; WedCut tells you the price of that wedding before you start.

  2. Leave the analysis running

    It runs on your computer without you sitting there: a wedding of about 500 clips takes one or two hours of machine time.

  3. Review the selection in the pool

    What was picked and what was discarded, clip by clip. Rescue, throw out and find moments by keyword.

  4. Generate the edits you need

    Teaser, short film or feature film to your song. Each edit is generated in a few minutes, and regenerating is free.

  5. Finish in the editor you already use

    You export and open the project in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere, with your original clips linked.

  6. Deliver the verticals too

    From the finished teaser you get the reel or the Stories for social.

What AI shouldn’t decide for you

The grade, the sound, the song and your way of telling the wedding are what set you apart. That’s why WedCut doesn’t hand you a finished video: it leaves you a project you open in the editor you already use, with every clip swappable.

With «In / Out» you choose where each shot starts, and with Edit notes you ask for what you want in your own words. And if you’re a PRO Member, with “My style” Musical cuts with your rhythm, learned from your own finished teasers.

Quick questions

How can I edit wedding videos faster?+

By taking the mechanical part off your plate: culling the footage, ordering the day and the first cut. A first-cut AI like WedCut does that on your computer and leaves you the project in Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere, where you add the grade, the sound and your signature.

Does AI replace the wedding editor?+

No. It does the cull and the first cut; the finishing, the judgement and the style are still yours. That’s why WedCut delivers an editable project, not a finished video.

Does it work with my editing software?+

Yes, with Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro. It isn’t a plugin: you export a file and import it into your editor with the original clips linked.

Do I have to upload my videos to the cloud?+

No. Your videos are not uploaded: they are analysed on your computer and only individual frames of each clip go to the AI.

How long does a wedding analysis take?+

A wedding of about 500 clips takes one or two hours of machine time, and longer if there’s more footage. After that, each edit is generated in a few minutes.

Do I need a powerful computer?+

An Apple silicon Mac, an Intel Mac or a Windows 10 or 11 PC. You don’t need a special graphics card.
