PricingFrom clips to a highlight
How Shorty turns a handful of clips into a short highlight. Turn the sound on.
A recorded Shorty test: five sample clips (generated snowboard footage, not a wedding) cut into a 15-second highlight with a title, impact cuts and music. Narration added afterwards. A wedding highlight is made the same way from your ceremony and reception clips. Watch the film
Which wedding videos it makes
| Video | Ask for |
|---|---|
| Highlight film | About a minute, 16:9, story order from getting ready to the last dance, vows and speech lines kept clear over the music. |
| Same-day or next-day Reel | 30–60 seconds, 9:16, the best moments cut to one song, names and date as a title. |
| Guest-footage highlight | Phone clips from many guests in one story; ask it to leave out shaky or duplicate shots. |
| Speech or vows edit | One speaker kept whole and in order, with B-roll over moments they read from a phone. |
| Venue promo | Your venue’s spaces, details and a real ceremony, for the venue’s site and social. |
How to make a wedding highlight
- Collect the clips: the videographer’s selects or guests’ phone videos. One edit takes up to 150 clips and 8 GB in total; each video can be up to 1 GB. Download guest clips from your shared album and upload the files.
- Name the moments that must be in it and their order: arrival, vows, first kiss, first dance, speeches, send-off.
- Attach the song you have the rights to, or ask for music, and say the length and format.
- Watch the cut, then revise by message: “use the second take of the first kiss, end on the sparkler exit”.
Make a 60-second 16:9 wedding highlight film from these ceremony and reception clips. Open on the venue at golden hour, then getting ready, the walk down the aisle, the vows (keep “I choose you, every day” clear), the first kiss, the first dance and the sparkler exit. Cut to the song I attached, music lower under every spoken line, a soft warm grade, and “Anna & James · 14 September 2026” as the opening title.
Vows, speeches and music together
Spoken lines stay audible: music dips under voices and comes back between them, and fades out instead of stopping dead. Name the lines that must be kept. Attach your song as an MP3, WAV or M4A file and confirm you have the rights, or ask for music and Shorty finds a library track or creates an original one. It cannot fetch a song by its name.
For wedding videographers
Use Shorty for the fast deliverables around your main film: a next-day teaser, Reels for the couple and vendors, a venue promo. Send the couple a review link so they can comment at exact moments without an account, and turn their notes into one revision. Keep your full film in your timeline editor.
What it does not do
Shorty edits the clips you supply; it cannot recover a moment nobody filmed or fix a blurry shot. It is not built to sync hours of multicam footage into a full-length ceremony film. Edits follow your brief, so name the people and moments that matter.
Rendering needs a Shorty account and credits. Plans start at $19 a month; current plans and the estimate for each edit are shown before you submit.
