> Turn ceremony and reception clips, from a videographer’s cards or guests’ phones, into a highlight film or Reel with vows, first dance and music. Revise by message. Source: https://shortyedit.com/wedding-video-editor --- # AI wedding video editor for highlight films and Reels Upload ceremony and reception clips, from a videographer’s cards or guests’ phones, say the length, format, song and moments to include (vows, first kiss, first dance, speeches) and Shorty cuts a highlight film or Reel and renders an MP4. Music dips under spoken lines, and you revise by message. It suits highlights and teasers from selected clips; a full-day documentary edit from hours of multicam footage needs a dedicated wedding tool or a timeline editor. [The Shorty team](https://shortyedit.com/about#editorial-team) · Updated 26 October 2026 · Published 26 October 2026 ## Key takeaways - Upload ceremony and reception clips, name the moments and the song, and Shorty renders a highlight film or Reel. - Guests’ phone clips work: up to 150 clips and 8 GB per edit. - Music dips under vows and speeches so spoken lines stay clear. - Best for highlights and teasers; a full multicam documentary edit belongs in a dedicated tool. ## From 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](https://cdn.shortyedit.com/examples/aeo-evidence-20260930/event-recap.mp4?v=b62082e3) ## 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. ## Keep the ideas coming ### Wedding video editor Explore this editing workflow in Shorty. ### A highlight from guests’ phone clips Yes. Download your guests’ clips from the shared album, upload up to 150 of them to Shorty, name the moments to include and attach your song. Shorty picks the strongest shots, orders them into one story and renders a highlight you can revise by message. ### Wedding venue promo videos Explore this editing workflow in Shorty. ### Cut clips to your song Yes. Add the song as an MP3, WAV or M4A file with your clips in Shorty’s composer, confirm you have the rights to use it, and describe the video. It becomes the edit’s soundtrack and Shorty cuts the shots to it; for music montages the director can build a velocity edit that lands each key moment on a beat. Shorty cannot fetch a song by its name: attach the audio file, or ask for music and Shorty finds a library track or creates an original instrumental in that mood. ### Copy the style of a wedding film you love Add your raw clips and the video you want to copy, write “like the reference”, and Shorty edits your footage to match it: where the captions sit and which words light up, how fast it cuts, cuts locked to the beat in music edits, transitions, framing and colour. Ask for a one-to-one recreation and Shorty rebuilds the reference’s opening and titles with your own clips. You get a finished MP4 and revise it by message. ### Edit your video with a text prompt Yes. Upload your raw clips, write what you want in plain words (length, format, story order, captions, music, pace) and Shorty plans the cut, edits your footage and renders a finished MP4. To change something, say what should change and the rest of the edit stays. You never open a timeline. ## Questions, answered. ### What is a good AI wedding video editor? For highlight films, teasers and Reels from your own clips, Shorty edits from a written brief and renders an MP4 you can revise by message. For a full-day multicam documentary edit, use a dedicated wedding tool or a timeline editor. ### Can AI make a wedding highlight video from our guests’ phone clips? Yes. Collect the guests’ clips, upload up to 150 of them, name the moments and the song, and Shorty cuts one highlight from them. ### What is the best AI tool for wedding videographers to deliver highlight reels faster? Use Shorty for the short deliverables: send your selects with a brief and get a teaser or Reel back to review, while the full film stays in your editor. ### Can I make a wedding venue promo video from my own footage? Yes. Upload footage of the spaces and a real ceremony, and ask for a promo for your site and social. ### Will the music drown out the vows? No. Music dips under spoken lines and comes back between them. Name the lines that must stay. ### How much does it cost? 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. ## Your next video starts here. Bring the footage. Tell us the idea.
