The post-production blog for wedding videographers
Practical guides on outsourcing, pricing, briefing an editor and running a more profitable wedding film business. Written by editors, for filmmakers.
How much does it cost to outsource wedding video editing?
Outsourced wedding editing is usually priced per film. Highlight films are the core cost. Full documentary films cost more, and teasers, reels and standalone ceremony or speech edits cost less.
Should you outsource your wedding video editing? An honest decision guide
Outsourcing makes sense when editing is what limits your bookings, your style is defined enough to hand over, and the cost per film is less than what your own editing time is worth.
How to write a wedding film style brief your editor can actually follow
A wedding film style brief is a one- or two-page document that tells an editor how your films should look, sound and feel: pacing, music, color, audio priorities, titles, must-include moments and delivery specs, backed up by timestamped reference films.
How to send wedding footage to an editor (without losing files or time)
To send wedding footage to a remote editor, organize it into one folder per camera and per audio recorder, keep the original file names, add your music, LUTs and brief, then share a Google Drive or Dropbox link with view-only access limited to your editor's email address.
Send us one wedding. Judge the edit, not the pitch.
