Wedding Teaser Editing
60 to 90 seconds · $250 · the film that books the next couple
Wedding teaser editing for videographers and studios. Sixty to ninety seconds, cut for social, with sound design and colour grading included. $250 per teaser, 7 to 8 working days, or faster when you need it.
A teaser is the fastest-working film you deliver. It goes out while the couple are still in the glow of the weekend, it gets shared before anyone has seen a frame of the highlight, and it is the piece most likely to reach a couple who has not booked a videographer yet.
Ours is $250, sixty to ninety seconds, with sound and colour included.
What You Get
A film of sixty to ninety seconds, built to be watched on a phone with the sound on.
A teaser is not a shortened highlight. It has a different job: it withholds rather than summarises. The point is to make somebody want the full film, which means the best few seconds of the day and the discipline to leave everything else out.
Included as standard:
- Sound design built for a small speaker. Most teasers are watched on a phone. Mixing for that is not the same as mixing for a laptop.
- Colour grading to your brand look, matched across every angle used.
- Multi-camera sync where the moment needs more than one angle.
The Vertical Version
We also cut teasers vertically for Reels and Stories. That is a teaser reel, and it is $250, the same as this one.
The honest reason it is not simply an export: a vertical cut is rarely a crop. A wide two-shot that works beautifully at 16:9 often has both people leaving frame at 9:16, so shots have to be replaced rather than reframed. It is a second edit, and it is priced as one.
If you want both from the same wedding, say so up front and we will quote them together. That is cheaper than having a delivered 16:9 teaser converted afterwards.
What It Costs
$250 per teaser. Sound design and colour grading included. A vertical teaser reel is $250 as well, so order both together and we will quote them as a pair.
A teaser, highlight and full-length film from the same wedding are $650 together. See the full package.
What We Need From You
Footage goes on Google Drive, Dropbox, or whichever cloud storage you already use. There is no size limit.
You fill in the project intake form once per wedding. It covers the theme and direction, the moments that have to be in the film, names and pronunciations, music direction, and anything you would rather we did not use. It is the brief the film gets built to, and it is the single biggest factor in how few revision rounds a project needs.
Turnaround
Standard turnaround is 7 to 8 working days.
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. If something has to jump the queue, expedited delivery in 48 to 72 hours is available at +50% of the project price.
Revisions
Four rounds are included: one internal alignment round before the film reaches you, and three with you. Notes go on the Frame.io link that carries the files, which timestamps each comment to the exact frame automatically.
Small changes are included generously. Re-edits that rebuild the film, such as a new music concept, a different narrative order or a substantially different length, are scoped separately. The full terms are on our revision policy page.
Working Under Your Brand
No watermark, no credit, and no contact with your couple. We sign NDAs and white-label agreements on request.
If you have not worked with us before we will do a sample edit after a short call. First-time clients can split payment 50/50 rather than paying up front, and there is a money-back guarantee on a first project.
Common questions
How long is a wedding teaser?
Sixty to ninety seconds. Long enough to carry a moment, short enough to hold attention on a phone.
How much does a wedding teaser cost?
$250, with sound design and colour grading included. A vertical version for social is quoted separately.
Can I get a vertical version for Reels?
Yes, that is a teaser reel, and it is $250, the same as the 16:9 teaser. It is not a crop: shots that work at 16:9 often lose one or both people at 9:16, so they have to be replaced rather than reframed. Order both together and we will quote them as a pair.
Is a teaser just a shorter highlight?
No, and treating it as one is why a lot of teasers do not work. A highlight summarises the day; a teaser withholds it. Different structure, different pacing, different job.
Can I get the teaser faster than the highlight?
Tell us the date you need and we will confirm before you commit. Expedited delivery in 48 to 72 hours is available at +50% if the couple wants something to post immediately.
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 long does it take?
Standard turnaround is 7 to 8 working days. If you have a date you have to hit, tell us before you commit and we will confirm. 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 the edit was outsourced?
Only if you tell them. No watermark, no credit, and no contact with your clients. We sign NDAs and white-label agreements on request.
Who chooses and licenses the music?
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.
Do I get the project file as well as the video?
If you want it. You get the Resolve project with its assets, so changes can be made on your own machine. Some plugins we use are paid, so you would need your own licences for those. For most people the rendered master is all they ever use.
