What are Highlight Video Edit, Ceremony Video Edit, Feature Video Edit and Raw Footage?
Highlight Video Edit
This refers to the short (5-10 minute) edited video that mashes up all the parts of your day. This is usually cut to one or more songs, sometimes instrumental, sometimes well-known. Some videos cut speeches or vows over the footage to give an extra cinematic feeling.
Feature Video Edit
Our take on the classic “Feature” edit. We look at the Highlight as the exclusively shareable item (family, friends, acquaintances), while the Feature Video Edit is much longer and less cut out, mostly just cutting between angles. This can be delivered as one long video or separated by event (first kiss, entrances, dances, etc.). By making these all separate videos, it’s a lot easier to jump to what you want to watch, but we understand if you prefer a single clip.
Ceremony Video Edit
Similar to our Feature Video Edit, the Ceremony Video Edit is just the Ceremony edited between all available camera angles and audio sources to provide a more immersive viewing experience.
Raw Footage
This is a bit more straight-forward. Raw footage refers to the actual clips that were originally recorded. While in most cases this will be the pure (straight from camera and recorder) footage, in some instances the footage may be compressed for easier storage. I’m looking at you 11 hour days with tons of slow motion shots!
What are the USB Thumb/Drive and 1 round of edits?
USB Thumb/Drive
This is how we deliver your “Raw Footage” – for the purposes of being perfectly clear, we define raw footage as the unedited footage, but what is sent is compressed and reformatted so that your computer can handle viewing it. Much of our footage is shot in special formats for our editing software in extremely large file sizes (often larger than 1tb) – we do share a limited time available digital download link after full completion in case you want to download the truly raw footage, but those files will take days to download and will require specialty software to review.

How do I share my video?
Instrumental
Congratulations! You chose the easiest possible method. We provide you with an extensive library link where you can select 2 to 3 songs that your editor can choose from to make the best possible video. This option is particularly great if you like hearing vows or speeches over your video. This option is easily published to:
- YouTube
- TikTok
Copyright/Mainstream Music (PAID)
Congratulations again! You chose the second easiest method for publication. With this choice, you can choose from a fairly large collection of participating licensed music and pay a 1 time license fee (around $80/song) to gain your own slice of well-known music. This can be a little tricky when it comes to clearing that purchased copyright, but generally it is not an issue (it just may not be immediate publishing if we need to jump through a few hoops).
This option is easily published to:
- YouTube
Copyright/Mainstream (UNPAID)
Unfortunately, you chose the most difficult route. We totally understand not wanting to add extra expenses or if the song you are set on is not available for license purchase. The way to stay in compliance with this choice is to avoid any public-facing, searchable, or generally easy-to-find publishing method. On the bright side, you have a video that you are able to show friends and family in a more intimate setting. This option is able to be published to:
- YouTube (Unlisted, can depend on copyright restrictions)
- Digital Download
