The Best Prompts for Editing Wedding Videos

Rough cut

1. Full ceremony

   Copy

   Make a full ceremony edit from the multicam group: the wide shot for the processional, the tight camera for the vows and rings, and the wide shot for the kiss and recessional.

   Eddie builds the ceremony edit and assigns an angle to each section.

2. Each speech on its own

   Copy

   Make each speech its own edit, trimmed from the speaker's first word to the end of the applause, named after the speaker.

   Eddie finds each speech in the transcript and creates one edit per speaker.

Highlights

1. Find the lines that matter

   Copy

   Find the strongest lines from the vows and the speeches, and the moments where someone's voice breaks or the room goes quiet. List them with timestamps before you cut.

   Eddie searches the transcripts and analyses the footage for emotional moments, quoting the credits for the analysis first.

2. The highlight film

   Copy

   Make a [4]-minute highlight film. Open on [the venue drone shot] with [the first vow line] over it, build through the ceremony and speeches, and end on [the first dance]. Lay the day's coverage over the voices and use breathy pacing.

   Eddie builds the film from the moments you chose, with your coverage as b-roll over the vows and toasts.

3. Funniest toast moments

   Copy

   Find the [3] biggest laughs in the speeches and give me each line with the laugh after it.

   Eddie returns each passage with timestamps, including the reaction.

Social clips

1. A teaser for the couple

   Copy

   Make a [60]-second vertical teaser of the highlight film for the couple to post, with the strongest vow line in the first [5] seconds.

   Eddie builds a 9:16 edit from the highlight and puts the vow line up front.

Captions

1. Subtle vow captions

   Copy

   Add minimal captions only during the vows in the highlight film, in a soft white at the bottom.

   Eddie adds captions for the part you named, in the style and colour you chose.

B-roll

Eddie uses your own b-roll first. Where you have nothing that fits, it searches stock footage: free Pexels clips, plus your own Shutterstock catalog if you connect it. When neither has the shot, it can generate a short b-roll clip. It quotes the credits first and generates nothing until you agree. You can also tell it to use only your own footage.

1. Details over the vows

   Copy

   Over the vows, show the [rings], [the dress details] and [the couple's hands] from the getting-ready and ceremony coverage.

   Eddie places your own detail shots over the vows, keeping the couple's faces on the key lines.

Music

1. Score and snap to the beat

   Copy

   Add my track "[song title]" under the highlight, ducked under the vows and toasts, and snap the cuts in the [first dance] section to the beat.

   Eddie attaches the track from your library, ducks it under speech and moves the montage cuts onto the beat.

2. Slow motion for the big moment

   Copy

   Ramp [the confetti exit] to slow motion and back, timed to the swell of the music.

   Eddie applies a speed ramp to the segment you named.

Multicam

1. Sync the ceremony with the lav

   Copy

   Sync the [two] ceremony cameras and the [officiant lav] as one multicam group, and use the lav audio for the ceremony.

   Eddie measures the sync offsets and sets the lav as the group's audio.

Export

1. Premiere Pro with multicam

   Copy

   Export the highlight film and the ceremony as Premiere Pro projects with the multicam kept as multicam.

   Eddie writes native .prproj files that keep real multicam clips and point at your original media.

2. Client review

   Copy

   Give me a review link for the highlight film so the couple can leave notes at the timecode.

   Eddie returns a review page the couple can open without an Eddie account.
