Wedding video editing service?

area51_for_psx · 16 Oct 2016 at 22:20

Hi guys can anyone recommend an online wedding video editing service? Day before a friends wedding I was asked to video it and I haven't got the time or skills to edit the video. Anyone recommend a company I can send the video files to so they can do it.

Wont be a long one since it was a civil partnership so just guests turning up then the service, then speeches.

Cheers

none that i'm familiar with.

If i were you I'd drop an email to a couple of wedding video companies and see if any of them were interested.

I've a feeling that you might struggle though as even though as you say it's a simple setup it's still a potential black hole time wise and these guys are usually busy editing their own videos. You might find that if they charge on an hourly basis it can start to get expensive.

Might get some more interest coming into the winter season when it's a bit quieter though.

I've done quite a bit of video editing and some of then have been " rescuing " wedding videos that the wedding party's mate has shot. It's a world of pain.

Sorry to sound a bit pessimistic - Good luck

Hey there—What kind of camera/setup will you be using to film?

Side note: Have you access to a Mac? Because although it's not going to give you "PROFESSIONAL" results, the iMovie does have some pre, created timelines where you can drop in text/video. Which could be sufficient.

What do you consider to be "silly money" for this work, and what requirements did you lay down?

You probably won't find a good editor for less than about £200-£250 a day, plus kit hire of about £100 a day. As mentioned, editing takes a long time, so can get expensive.

Let me know if you're still looking for someone? I freelance with a wedding videographer who also edits. Should do it for £250ish?
