How to do a Same Day Edit for Weddings IN LESS THAN AN HOUR

What if I told you that I created this wedding film teaser in under an hour and showed it to our couple before we left the wedding? If you are a wedding filmmaker and you don’t already implement Same Day Edits it probably feels daunting to even think about having a film to show your couple before you leave the reception. Jenn and I have been doing this for years with Wild Oak Films and we attribute so much of our business growth to creating these Same Day/Next Day Edits. This video walks you through our process of creating a Same Day Edit on the wedding day and how we clean it up the next day before sharing it with the couple and posting it for the world to see. This is our whole process and formula from start to finish! With this process we are able to consistently wow our couples and gain referrals, all with way less work than you might think.

[@beauandarrowfilms]

This is fantastic advice - many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!!

[@sightseerproductions]

This is awesome. Thank you for doing this.

[@adimatis]

Hey, much appreciated sharing this with us all! Gooood job Nick!!! :)

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

Glad it was helpful!

[@NaimAlwan]

Thank you for this! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Ganyonz]

LOVE this kind of raw editing tutorial! I'm looking forward to the Nick editing marathon when I purchase the course coming out in a couple weeks :D

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

So glad it's helpful to you! In the course I go WAAAAAY deeper in editing - can't wait to have you

[@RedeemedProductions]

Yes! Been waiting on this one. Nick is the best. That’s all.

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

awww shucks.

[@LucivoryPhotography]

Nice!

[@camgregg9971]

This was so great! It's always so helpful to see how other folks edit. You guys are the best! Thanks so so much for all the wisdom!

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

Happy to help!

[@lionandlambfilm]

This is Gold 🔥🤟🏻

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

Glad it helped!!

[@BSRWeddingFilms]

Great stuff Nick! Premiere editor here as well. I thought you were a FCPX guy, love it!

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

I am a premiere editor.... for now at least!

[@toddreedy1470]

This is fantastic! Before, the idea of a same-day edit or even a next day edit was so daunting. It clearly is doable. Thanks! My only question is: do you ever worry about using all (or at least alot) of your best shots for this edit, leaving the final highlight film not as surprising or as epic?

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

Great question! I do not worry about it. This is an edit to blow them away/get them excited. I want to use some of the best footage in this teaser to get them excited. Think about it like a movie trailer - they intentionally put the best stuff in those so people WANT to go see the movie. Same idea here.

[@benjamin.kelley]

Feels/sounds like Nick is right here sitting beside me! From the looks of it, it seems like you shoot in a saturated profile on the C70, but with sharpness down (or is that just how the C70 or C100 ii looks stock, or do you shot LOG and Jenn colors it?) - I can't get that same softness and smooth dynamic rolloff from the R6 - Any tips here?

[@ostriyumurzoqov]

Thank you bro.

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

Glad it helps!

[@DanteJDM]

Incredibly useful tutorial with no fuss. Appreciate it! I just wonder, and I know this is 2 years old at this point, but why don't you colour correct using the RGB Waveform or Parade? Regardless, this is about time-saving so I do understand. Thanks again!

[@JSMultimedia-fw9ow]

Id really like to try a same day edit but only when I can afford a very fast computer that can rip through 4K like it’s nothing. Perhaps it would be an idea to hand the couple the SDE and then deliver the full film in a couple weeks time once you can sit down and build their story. Thanks so much for this video, very helpful!

[@houseofgia5134]

Thank you so much for this video, it was extremely helpful! Do you shoot your footage in raw or log?

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

We do not shoot in log or raw. We found a profile that looks good in camera and is easy to color. It's a discontinued and made for the c100 series of cameras

[@THEHUSTLER84]

BRO.... nest the shot to place warp stablizlize on a clip you changed the speed on. Mind is blown..... Thank you.

[@coconuthair]

what key strokes do you use to cut the video so quick?

[@RishabhSingh-my9le]

make a video on talking with bride and groom for an epic wedding story

[@joepineirofilms]

Do you guys charge extra for a same day edit or is it included when couples book you?

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

Nick did these for free for the longest time, and I believe he still includes these in the packages

[@jermzamiah2021]

I also film weddings. Noticed you don’t include the vows or toasts, and you only made a one minute edit. Do you think same day edits are only possible with that kind of package?

[@Oneklickmedia]

Curious anyone can help me on how he did in and out on the source video into the timeline so quick?? I been dragging the video/audio to the time line lol. @14:15

[@jermzamiah2021]

From source window click “,” on your keyboard and it inserts to the end of your timeline after you set in and out points in Premiere. “P” in Davinci Resolve.

[@es_flightsim]

Do you guys learned this from Jason Magbanua from the Philippines who first invented the same day edit wedding video?

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

I did not learn this from him, but he sounds like a rad dude!

[@user-oh2hn1ny4r]

can i edit wedding video using cupcut only ????

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

You could, sure. But should you? I think phone editing like this would be rough.

[@Moredro2012]

Can a solo videographer do a same day edit

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

Absolutely you can! Youd' really need to plan for it, though. Make something that works for you and your schedule.

[@jestonifigueres9079]

I wonder if most of the people are aware that majority of the weddings on the Philippines are all same day edits. Even simple corporate events always incorporates same day edits all the time.

[@marinaklein7179]

Interesting. You put 60fps on a 24fps timeline.

[@HowToFilmWeddings]

Yep - I do this all the time!

[@tonyobrien956]

Is foreplay dead :)

[@pritambarman2500]

I suggest that you lower the bgm volume, it's distracting your voice.

[@thekurtishenry]

Are you not worried all your videos will look the same and have no originality for the couple?

[@TheRealKongKK]

Its like saying that a chef has to prepare the same meal differently everytime otherwise it isn't original.

[@thekurtishenry]

@@TheRealKongKK Not necessarily because a chef is preparing the exact same meal and the job is to prepare that meal the same every time. Where a wedding video is supposed to feel personal for the couple it’s intended for
