The Wedding Film Editing Guide - Edit Feature Films Faster

If you’ve ever sat down to edit a wedding film and thought…

• Where do I start?
• Which music should I use?
• Why is this taking me days to edit?

This guide is for you.

Often, the biggest hurdle to editing films is indecision. Too many clips, too much audio (or not enough!)..

But after editing hundreds of wedding films, I developed a simple framework that removes that indecision and allows me to consistently edit 15–20 minute feature films in well under a day.

This guide shows you exactly how. It doesn’t matter what software you use. These principles work regardless.
