Wedding edit to Premiere, DaVinci, Final Cut

One file for each editor

Which file does each editor use, and how do you import it?

Editor	File	How to import it	What you see next
Final Cut Pro	.fcpxml	File → Import → XML… and choose the .fcpxml.	A new event with your edit inside.
DaVinci Resolve	.fcpxml	File → Import → Timeline… and choose the .fcpxml. Don't drag it into the Media Pool: that way it comes in as loose clips.	A timeline with just your edit and, in a second file, your sorted wedding: import both.
Premiere Pro	.xml	File → Import… and choose the .xml.	It doesn't open by itself: a new bin appears in the Project panel; the sequence is inside, double-click to open it.
Other editors	.edl	Through your editor's option to import edit decision lists (EDL).	The cut list of the edit.

Before you import

The two things that almost always go wrong

The file is not in Downloads. WedCut saves it in the wedding's own folder, inside «WedCut». The «Open folder» button in the export notice takes you straight there.
Connect the drive with the footage before opening the file. The edit points to your original files: if the drive isn't there, your editor will mark them as missing.

What lands in your editor?

The cuts of the edit in order, pointing to your original footage. WedCut doesn't copy or re-encode your video: there is no new multi-hour file to move around.
The music on its own track, with the cuts on the beat.
Slow motion on the clips shot at higher frame rates.
In the full film, subtitles for vows and speeches in an .srt file next to the project.

What do you finish yourself?

Everything that makes the film yours: trimming cuts, colour, sound, titles and the final render. WedCut does the culling of the footage and the first cut of the whole wedding; you decide the final edit in your usual editor.

What if a clip shows up red or «offline»?

It's almost always the drive: connect it and open the file again. If you moved the footage to another folder, use your editor's relink media option and point it to the new folder. And if it still won't work, write to soporte@wedcut-ai.com with a screenshot.

Quick questions

Is WedCut a plugin for Premiere, DaVinci or Final Cut?+

No. It's a separate app for Mac and Windows: it installs nothing inside your editor. It exports a file that you import from the File menu.

Is my video copied or re-encoded when I export?+

No. The edit points to your original files, so you work at the quality you shot.

How much does exporting cost?+

Nothing. You only pay for the analysis, once per wedding: generating, regenerating and exporting edits as many times as you like is free.

Can I export the same edit to two editors?+

Yes. Each editor has its own export button, and you can export the same edit for Final Cut, DaVinci and Premiere.

Does it work on Mac and Windows?+

Yes. Final Cut Pro only exists on Mac; on Windows you export for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
