How to edit a two-camera wedding with AI

The slow part of a two-camera wedding is syncing them and working out which take from one goes with which from the other. WedCut does it on your computer: it matches the cameras by sound and hands you the sorted wedding, with the second camera stacked above the main one at its exact moment, in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro.

Step by step

A two-camera wedding, step by step

  1. Give it both cameras' folders

    You pick the wedding folders as usual, with each camera's cards. WedCut analyses every clip on your computer.

  2. It syncs them by sound

    Even if the cameras' clocks don't match, WedCut matches the takes from both cameras by sound and orders the wedding by each one's real time.

  3. It only stacks what is proven

    The second camera only goes on top when the match is measured to within half a frame. If a take can't be proven, nothing is guessed: it stays on the main track, in order.

  4. Open the sorted wedding in your editor

    You export the sorted wedding and in Final Cut, DaVinci or Premiere you get the main camera below and the second one above, each take whole and at its moment.

  5. And the first cut, too

    In the long film, the second camera comes in frame-accurate or not at all, and the same instant is never shown twice even if both cameras filmed it.

Quick questions

Does WedCut sync the two cameras of a wedding?+

Yes. It matches the takes from both cameras by sound and orders the wedding by each one's real time, even if their clocks don't match.

How do the two cameras arrive in my editor?+

When you export the sorted wedding, the main camera goes on the lower track and the second one above, each take at its exact moment, in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro.

What if a take can't be synced?+

Nothing is guessed: the second camera is only stacked when the match is measured to within half a frame. Otherwise the take stays on the main track, in order.

Does it cut between cameras for me?+

In the sorted wedding, no: it leaves both cameras stacked and you choose in your editor which shot stays. In the first cut WedCut chooses, and the second camera only comes in if it's frame-accurate.

Are my videos uploaded to sync them?+

No. The sound is measured on your computer and your videos are not uploaded. Only individual frames of each clip go to the AI to describe the shot.
