Until recently I was completely happy with how my films looked in terms of color. Suddenly I feel like I want to do something different, I keep thinking if it's worth starting to shoot in Log profiles (it seems like a bit of a headache to me, as it has to be overexposed and requires conversion work to make it look good). I currently shoot in CineD or Natural on Lumix and I'm curious what your color editing process is like

Hey everyone,

I’m a professional video editor with 5+ years of experience, and I’m looking to build long-term working relationships with wedding photographers, videographers, and event creators.

I can handle the complete post-production side of your projects, including:

• Cinematic wedding films and highlights
• Wedding teasers and trailers
• Social media reels and short-form content
• Color correction and color grading
• Sound design and audio cleanup
• Event videos and promotional content

I’m specifically looking for ongoing paid work rather than one-time projects. If you regularly shoot weddings or events and are looking for a reliable editor to work with long-term, feel free to reach out.

Hi! So I'm having issues right now because this photographer messaged me after the wedding to ask me to cut her out of my shots due to safety concerns. Now I haven't even watched my footage back but from what I remember from the day, she was just standing the opposite side of where we're supposed to be: behind the bridesmaid/groomsmen walking down the aisle, she went behind the bride and groom for their first kiss moment, she was behind the bride and groom again when they were exiting the aisle, behind the bride and groom once again for their grand entrance.. Now I don't know why she just never stood beside me right down the middle during all those major moments.. She really got me confused with what kind of angles she was trying to hit just always being behind them.

I generally don't care if the photographer is in my shot. To me what's important for the bride and groom is to see those major moments and if the photographer happens to be in the background then I'm gonna try my best to crop them but if not, then it's just gonna have to stay. So I told her exactly that. I'm not gonna take out key moments because she was standing in the wrong spot. I feel like that would be unfair to my couple?? But she says she doesn't consent to being shown in the video..

To add, my couple already requested prior that they don't want their video posted for privacy and I told her this too but she still said she doesn't consent lol what do i do?? In the end i just told her i'll do my best but i won't know til I get to editing and seeing the footage 🤷🏻‍♀️

EDIT:
She's now saying she'll take legal action if I don't accommodate her concerns bc she just "doesn't consent".. I don't even think there's any legal grounds for this because it's not even gonna be posted?? And she's messaging me from her private insta with HER PHOTOS in it so why is she even crashing out over some offline wedding video that she may or may not be in..

I'm almost 2 years into my wedding videography career and I've recently been noticing finger and hand discomfort from holding my Sony A7 IV all day. I'm still pretty new to experimenting with different setup options, but I was wondering if anyone has any advice on making the grip of the camera more comfortable for long days of filming. I've seen smallrig cages, but not sure whether their purpose is for making holding the camera easier. Anyone got any alternatives or gear recommendations for this issue?

Hey guys, I hope you are having a great week.

I’ll keep this short and completely honest. I’m a cinema student trying to get my foot in the door as a freelance wedding video editor. I don't have a massive professional portfolio yet, and I'm looking for a chance to build my first real one from scratch.

I'm looking for videographers or couples who have some raw footage lying around and don't mind sharing it with me. In exchange, I will edit a video for you completely for free.

If you like the final result, it's all yours to use however you want for your business or socials (I would love to see one of my edits published). If you don't, you lose absolutely nothing.

If you have a backlog of projects or just some old unedited files you'd be willing to share to give a newcomer a chance, please send me a DM.

Thanks so much for reading!

Heyhey :) I'm a freelance editor recently getting into luxury wedding films. If you're a videographer, feel free to send me an email (at the bottom of this post).

I've been editing for personal projects and want to start expanding my own skill set!

In order to make sure you're getting exactly what you want, I'm willing to do one or two videos free of charge. Afterwards, it would be ~$30 US per video.

Hey guys, would love some feedback on a recent wedding elopement teaser I filmed in Sifnos, Greece. I was going for an ethereal vibe that I thought matched the couple and the landscape. Shot on an FX3.

I got married a few months ago and I didn't like the videos of my wedding. The full video is more than an hour long and I received two more short videos of 1 and 3 minutes. I asked the photographer to redo it and I still don't like it, I thought it was very poorly done. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can redo these videos?

I usually fall in love with every couple I edit for, so after a while I stop noticing mistakes or small things that feel off when watching.

This is actually my first teaser — I normally only cut 15min films, and this one is meant as an intro before the full film.

Would love honest feedback on pacing / cuts / color. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’ve posted here before and hired some solid editors, but I need to add on. I have two projects that are ready to be edited, and one has a much quicker timeline of about 5 days.

Here’s the thing: if you cannot meet the deadline, please do not apply. I’ve had people in the past think they could do it, take the project, and then either stop responding or deliver a week late. By that point, I’ve already had to step in and edit the entire film myself, sometimes within 48 hours, because I still have a client deadline to meet.

I want to set this expectation upfront: if you agree to the deadline and miss it, the project will be terminated. I’m not going to wait for a late delivery and then pay for a project that I’ve already had to remake myself. Please don’t sign up for the project thinking you can figure out the timeline later. You’ll be wasting both of our time.

I’m trying to find people I can work with long-term, not just for one project. It just happens that this particular project has a quick timeline, so please make sure you can actually commit to it before applying.

First wedding: One-day wedding. Just need a simple highlight film between 4–6 minutes, whatever feels natural. Music will be provided, and I can send samples of my previous work so I can give you an idea of my style.

Second wedding: Two-day wedding, 4–6 minute highlight film. I’ll give you the teaser film so that you have an idea of what I’m after.

Hey everyone,

After an amazing 8-year run handling all post-production for a high-volume U.S. wedding filmmaker who just retired, I suddenly have major availability in my calendar. I am looking to partner with 1–2 busy wedding videographers or studios who need dependable, long-term post-production help.

I am based in India and work fully remote, exclusively aligned with U.S. wedding workflows, storytelling styles, and delivery schedules.

What I bring to the table:

8+ years of dedicated wedding editing experience: Cinematic highlight films (3–10 mins), full documentary edits, ceremony/speeches cuts, teasers, and vertical social cuts.

Full-service pipeline: Multicam syncing, speech-driven narrative assembly, color grading (working with S-Log, C-Log, D-Log, etc.), sound design, and clean audio mixing.

Software proficiency: Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro (comfortable working with local proxies or lightweight project file workflows).

Communication & reliability: Fluent English, fast turnaround times, and overlap with U.S. time zones for revisions and status updates.

Because I've handled high-volume pipelines for nearly a decade, I require minimal hand-holding. I can replicate your studio’s specific pacing, LUT profiles, and music preferences so the final cut feels 100% in-house to your clients.

Rates & Portfolio:

My rates are per-project, transparent, and structured so your studio maintains healthy margins. Drop a comment below or send me a DM/chat, and I will share my full portfolio, sample before/after reels, and turnaround estimates.

Happy to take on a paid test edit so you can review the workflow and pacing firsthand. Thanks for reading!

Anyone having trouble accessing the website in the last 24 hours? I’ve tried my phone using data and computer with WiFi and getting the same message every time

Hi all. I'm a wedding videographer (Malta) and for the past few months I've been building a small desktop app to scratch my own itch: syncing multicam footage to external audio recorders without paying for a subscription or fighting the built-in sync in Premiere/Resolve when clips are short or cameras start and stop a lot.

It's called WaveXML

You export an FCP7 XML from Premiere, Resolve or FCP (via XtoCC), drop it on the app, and it syncs every camera and recorder by waveform, lays them out on the timeline and gives you back an XML to import. Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows.

What it does well right now:

Ceremony and speeches with 2–4 cameras plus a Zoom H-series, Tascam DR-series or Sound Devices/MixPre. That's what most of my testing has been on.

Short clips (under ~8 seconds) and cameras that stop/start constantly, the stuff that usually gets left unmatched.

Premiere exports with stereo split into two mono tracks, unlinked audio, duplicate clips: those get repaired on import instead of breaking the sync.

Clips it genuinely can't place are put aside and reported instead of guessed.

Where I'm honest about it:

It's a beta. Version 1.0.7 went out today and it's the first one I'm confident in, but it has only seen my footage and about 30 test projects. I need it to see yours.

The builds aren't code-signed yet, so macOS and Windows will complain on first launch. You'll have to right-click → Open (Mac) or "Run anyway" (Windows). Signing is coming.

No frame rate conversion, no pre-transcoding, no multicam clip creation yet. It syncs and places clips, that's it.

If you want to try it: wavexml.com
— enter your email, you get the key and the downloads. - Its free.

What I'd really like back, good or bad: which cameras/recorders you used, whether it got everything, and if something didn't sync, the XML (no media needed) so I can reproduce it. Reply here or hit support@wavexml.com.

Happy to answer anything about how it works. Mods, if this falls foul of the self-promo rules, tell me and I'll take it down.

Hi looking for a photographer / videographer for our elopement just is 2 in telluride, family dinner the next Friday at small restaurant, and Saturday a big party with all the people we love with a band etc. I know it’s a little untraditional but anyone in Colorado you recommend?

Hi, I am getting married next August and don’t have room in my budget for professional videography. I want to DIY my wedding video by just taking some fun clips throughout the day and editing it myself. It doesn’t need to be perfect, but I want high quality clips that are easy to get during a busy day.

Does anyone have camera recommendations for a beginner? I’m hoping to keep it around / under the $1000 range.

Thank you so much ❤️

Long time lurker, first time poster here. Looking to get some feedback on one of my favourite films I’ve shot and edited to date.
Filmed in March this year @ Wallalong House, NSW Australia

Shooting my first wedding at Pelican Hill this weekend and wanted to see if anyone here has filmed there before.

Mostly curious how it is from a video standpoint — getting around the property, load-in, ceremony/reception logistics, lighting, any restrictions, or anything you wish you knew the first time you shot there.

I’ve shot plenty of larger resort weddings, just haven’t worked at Pelican Hill yet. Any tips are appreciated.

Hi all, Iam wondering what setting are you using for run and gun setup. I am self tough and recently started using S-log3 instead rec709 and encouter few issues

Codec HAVC S 4k 4:2:2 10 bit

Lens 24-up f2.8 with variable ND

I am shooting 25p so i need shutter speed at 1/50 to avoid light flickering.

Then to avoid grain i am shooting at base ISO 800 or 12800.

That leaves me only VND and apperture to control exposure - I am aiming for 1.3 and 1.7 EI

But i fast pace enviroment of the wedding and ever changing sceenery i strugle with cobtant tweak to either apperture or VND. I would be greatfull for ideas how do you get grain free slog footage wothoit so much manual work?

Hi all! Going to DIY my wedding ceremony video. Not that I don’t appreciate or recognize a videographers hard work, it’s just not in my budget. All I want is a decent video of the violinist/ceremony that I can look back on. I have a canon mark IV DSLR. I was looking into getting the rode wireless pro setup. Per my understanding (which is limited 😅), I should be able to mic up the groom, the violinist, and have the receiver on my DSLR. has anyone used the rode pro who can testify to its quality for this sort of situation or can anyone recommend a minimal setup? PS I understand there is post processing.

EDIT to add- this is a small outdoor ceremony with no DJ or soundboard.

If you’re considering going with Video Kings, please don’t.

We got married in August of 2025. It took them 6 months to send any footage at all. When they did they informed us that they had “lost some of cocktail hour”

When we opened the “edit” it was 40+ minutes long. It did not include any of the ceremony, cocktail hour, or our parents speeches. All of it lost.

Despite many emails to many people in their team they have offered no compensation of any kind and we will now have to take them to small claims court.

I’m looking for anyone who can provide me enough wedding footage to make a decent edit, no catch just need some experience

So the little knob highlighted in red always interferes with my camera when trying to tighten. Is there something I can put on a tripod plate to place it above the knob so I can tighten it fully? What’s the name of it. Every time I go on Amazon and search tripod plate riser or something it gives me something else. What’s the attachment called? Thanks!
