Outsource Wedding Video Editing for Videographers

Nine in-house editors. DaVinci Resolve. 7-8 working days.

Outsourced wedding video editing for videographers and studios in the US, Canada and the UK. Nine full-time in-house editors, DaVinci Resolve throughout, and a standard turnaround of 7 to 8 working days rather than three to four weeks. Prices and revision terms published.

You shot the wedding. The footage is sitting on a drive, and there are three more weddings before the end of the month. That is the problem this page is about.

You send us the footage. We edit it. You deliver it to your couple under your own name.

Who This Is For

Videographers and studios who shoot more than they can edit. That is most of the people we work with: a peak season that produces more weddings in four months than the other eight combined, and a choice between turning work away, delivering late, or spending every evening in front of Resolve.

It is not for couples. We do not shoot weddings and we do not sell to couples. We only work with the people who do.

Who Actually Edits Your Film

Nine full-time in-house editors. No freelancers, no subcontractors, and no rotating pool of whoever happens to be free that week. The same editors stay on your account, so the second film we cut for you starts from everything we learned on the first.

Everyone works in DaVinci Resolve, and only in DaVinci Resolve. That is a deliberate decision rather than a preference. One program across the whole team means a project can move between editors without conforming or rebuilding anything, and it means colour happens in the tool built for it rather than as an afterthought at the end.

Since 2022 we have edited more than 450 weddings for over 100 videographers. Around 80% of them are in the US and Canada.

What We Edit, and What It Costs

Film Length Price
Teaser 60-90 seconds $250
Highlight film 3-7 minutes $350
Full-length film The whole day, in sequence $250
Ceremony video Multi-camera, synced and cut $200
Bride, groom or couple reel Vertical, for social $70 each
Teaser reel The teaser, cut vertically $250
Wedding package Teaser, highlight and full-length together $650

Colour grading and sound design are included in every film we edit. Both are also available on their own, colour grading and sound design, if you cut in-house and want one part handled.

The prices are published because you should not have to book a call to find out whether we are in your range.

How a Project Runs

You send the footage. Google Drive, Dropbox, or whichever cloud storage you already use. There is no size limit. Three to five hundred gigabytes for a wedding is normal here.

You fill in the project intake form. One per wedding. It covers the theme and direction, the moments that have to be in the film, names and pronunciations, music direction, and anything in the footage you would rather we did not use. This is the brief the film gets built to, and it is the single biggest factor in how few revision rounds a project needs.

We edit. The cut, the colour and the sound are handled together rather than passed down a line.

You review, we revise. Notes go on the Frame.io link that carries the files.

You deliver it to your couple. Under your name.

What We Need From Your Footage

We work with what a professional camera produces. Log and RAW are ideal, and 4K 10-bit is our preference. If your situation is different, we would rather talk about it than have you guess.

Two or three camera angles is what we see most often. Multi-camera sync is part of the job rather than an add-on, and that includes ceremonies and speeches where several angles have to line up against a single audio source.

Send everything. Deciding what is unusable is our job, and the shot you nearly deleted is quite often the one the film turns on.

Turnaround

Standard turnaround is 7 to 8 working days. Not three to four weeks.

The more useful answer is that we work to your date. Tell us when you have to deliver to your couple, and we will confirm whether we can hit it before you commit to anything. That is a better question than an average, because a wedding you shot last weekend and a wedding you shot in June are not the same job.

If something needs to move to the front of the queue, expedited delivery in 48 to 72 hours is available at +50% of the project price. We charge for it because it displaces other work, and pretending otherwise would only mean quietly deprioritising somebody else.

Revisions

Four rounds are included: one internal alignment round before the film reaches you, and three with you.

Small changes are included generously: trims, shot swaps, colour and audio adjustments, spelling and title corrections. What needs a separate scope is a re-edit: switching the pacing from chronological to non-chronological, altering the storyline, substantially changing the length, or moving to a new music concept. Those rebuild the film rather than refine it.

The full terms are on our revision policy page, including what counts as a standard revision, how to send notes, and how long a project stays open.

What You Get Back

The finished film, rendered at the highest quality we can give you, in the format you need.

If you want the project file as well, you can have it: the Resolve project with the assets, so you can open it on your own machine. Two things worth knowing: some of the plugins we use are paid, so you would need your own licences for those, and for most people the rendered master is all they actually need.

Music and Licensing

If you have already chosen a track, send it and we will cut to it. The licence for that track stays yours.

If you need us to supply licensed music we can, within the platforms we have access to, but tell us early rather than late. A change of music concept after the first draft means retiming every cut in the film.

Working Under Your Brand

Everything we deliver is yours. No watermark, no credit, and no contact with your couple.

We sign NDAs and white-label agreements on request. A lot of our clients would rather their couples never knew an outside team was involved, and that is entirely reasonable.

Why Not a Marketplace or a Hundred-Editor Studio

Both of those work for some people, and it is worth being honest about what you give up.

On a gig marketplace you start again with a stranger every time. At an operation with a hundred editors your film goes to whoever has capacity that week, and style drift becomes something you manage rather than something that does not happen.

Nine editors is small enough that the same people know your work. That is the reason clients send us their second wedding, and it is also the honest limit of what we offer. We are not the largest option available to you and we are not trying to be.

Getting Started

If you have not worked with us before, we will do a sample edit, after a short call, so that we understand what you are actually looking for rather than guessing at it. If you are sending us most of what you shoot, a dedicated editor is usually the cheaper arrangement.

First-time clients can split payment 50/50 instead of paying in full up front, and there is a money-back guarantee on a first project. Both exist for the same reason: you have no way of knowing whether we are any good until you have seen us work.

Common questions

How much does it cost to outsource wedding video editing?

Prices are per film: teaser $250, highlight film $350, full-length film $250, ceremony video $200, teaser reel $250, and bride, groom or couple reels $70 each. All three main films together are $650 as a wedding package. Colour grading and sound design are included in every edit.

How long does wedding video editing take?

Standard turnaround is 7 to 8 working days. If you have a date you must hit, tell us before you commit and we will confirm whether we can make it. Expedited delivery in 48 to 72 hours is available at +50%.

What editing software do you use?

DaVinci Resolve, exclusively, across the whole team. One program means a project can move between editors without conforming, and the colour work happens in the tool built for it.

Will my couple know you edited the film?

Only if you tell them. There is no watermark, no credit and no contact with your clients. We sign NDAs and white-label agreements on request.

How do I send you the footage?

Google Drive, Dropbox or whichever cloud storage you already use. There is no size limit. Three to five hundred gigabytes per wedding is normal for us.

How many camera angles can you handle?

Two or three is what we see most often, and multi-camera sync is part of the job rather than an add-on. That includes ceremonies and speeches where several angles have to line up against one audio source.

What footage formats do you work with?

Whatever a professional camera produces. Log and RAW are ideal and 4K 10-bit is our preference. If your setup is different, talk to us rather than guessing.

Do I get the project file, or only the finished video?

Either. The rendered master is what most people need, but you can have the Resolve project with its assets if you want it. Some plugins we use are paid, so you would need your own licences for those.

Who chooses the music, and who licenses it?

If you have chosen a track, send it and we cut to it, and that licence stays yours. If you need us to supply licensed music we can, within the platforms we have access to. Ask early: changing the music concept after the first draft means retiming every cut.

How many revisions are included?

Four rounds. One internal alignment round before you see the film, and three with you. Small changes are included generously; re-edits that rebuild the film are scoped separately. Full terms are on our revision policy page.

Do you offer a sample edit before I commit?

Yes, after a short call so we understand what you are looking for. First-time clients can also split payment 50/50 rather than paying up front, and there is a money-back guarantee on a first project.

Do you edit for couples, or only for videographers?

Only for videographers and studios. We do not shoot weddings and we do not sell to couples.

Can you match my studio style across multiple weddings?

That is the main reason to use a small in-house team. The same editors stay on your account, so the second film starts from what we learned on the first rather than from nothing.

Can you handle my whole peak season?

That is what most of our clients use us for. Tell us roughly how many weddings and over what period, and we will tell you honestly whether we can take it on.
