4 hour wedding footage
20 Reels + 1 highlight ready for delivery

You film everything — the getting-ready shots, the ceremony, the first dance, the toasts, the reception. Four hours of footage sitting on your cards. Your clients want a highlight reel, the couple wants Reels for their social media, and you need turnaround fast enough to deliver before the honeymoon ends.

Bitcut handles this on your iPhone or iPad. Import the footage, add the ceremony music, and let Face Tracking keep the couple in frame while Beat Sync snaps every cut to the music. Add title cards with the names and date, apply a cinematic filter for a consistent look, and export in every format — vertical Reels, square posts, and a full 16:9 highlight reel — all from one project.

Wedding Editor: Face Tracking, Beat Sync and Title Cards

Face Tracking

Your ceremony footage is 16:9, but Reels are 9:16. Face Tracking detects the couple in every frame and creates a vertical crop that follows them through the ceremony, the first dance, and the reception. Scene changes between camera angles are detected automatically — no manual keyframing needed.

Beat Sync

Add the first dance song, a ceremony hymn, or any background track. Bitcut detects every beat and transient in the audio. Clip boundaries snap to the nearest beat — the kiss on a downbeat, the ring exchange on the next. Your highlight reel feels choreographed to the music.

Video Filters

Wedding footage comes from different lighting conditions — outdoor ceremony, dim reception hall, golden-hour portraits. Cinematic adds filmic contrast, Warm enhances golden tones, and Soft gives a romantic, diffused look. Apply one filter and the whole project looks cohesive.

Title Cards

Add the couple names, the wedding date, and the venue at the start of the highlight reel. Place additional cards between sections — "The Ceremony," "First Dance," "Reception." Custom fonts and colors let you match the wedding stationery or brand style.

Transitions

Dissolve transitions create smooth, emotional blends between scenes — from vows to first dance, from ceremony to reception. Set a default transition for the entire project or choose specific transitions between key moments for maximum emotional impact.

Export Aspect Ratio

Export the same project in 9:16 for Instagram Reels and TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube and the full highlight delivery, and 1:1 for Instagram feed posts. Face Tracking adjusts the crop for each format. One edit, every platform covered.

Step by Step: Wedding Footage to Reels

1

Import footage and add music

Create a new project in Bitcut and import your wedding clips from camera roll, Files, or an external drive. Add the ceremony music or a background track. Bitcut analyzes the waveform and maps every beat — this beat grid drives all your cuts.

2

Smart Add to pick the best moments

Tap Smart Add and Bitcut analyzes each clip. For clips with vows or toasts, AI transcribes the speech and finds the strongest segments. For silent moments — the walk down the aisle, the first look — Smart Trimmer picks the most visually dynamic frames. All clip boundaries snap to the beat grid.

3

Face Track the couple

Tap the Face Tracking button on your 16:9 clips. Bitcut detects the couple in every frame and generates a vertical crop that follows them through each scene. When the camera cuts from a wide shot to a close-up, the tracking re-locks automatically.

4

Add transitions and title cards

Place dissolve transitions between ceremony scenes for smooth emotional flow. Add title cards with the couple names, date, and section labels. Choose a video filter — Cinematic, Warm, or Soft — and apply it across the entire project for a consistent, polished look.

5

Export in every format

Export in 9:16 for Instagram Reels and TikTok, 16:9 for a YouTube highlight reel or direct delivery, and 1:1 for Instagram feed posts. Beat sync, face tracking, transitions, filters, and title cards are all baked into every export. Deliver the full package to your clients.

Why Bitcut for Wedding Content

Couple stays in frame: Face Tracking follows the bride and groom through every scene. The vertical crop adjusts automatically as camera angles change — wide altar shots, close-up vows, reception dancing. No manual keyframing, no cropping out the couple mid-moment.
Music-driven editing: Beat Sync detects every beat in the ceremony song or background track. Every transition — the walk down the aisle, the first kiss, the bouquet toss — lands on a musical beat. The highlight reel feels choreographed, not randomly assembled.
Emotional transitions: Dissolve transitions create soft, cinematic blends between ceremony moments. Moving from vows to first dance, from getting ready to walking down the aisle — each scene change feels intentional and emotionally resonant.
Every format from one edit: Export in 9:16 for Reels, 16:9 for YouTube and direct delivery, 1:1 for Instagram feed. Face Tracking adjusts the crop for each format. One project covers every platform and every client deliverable.
Client footage stays private: All video editing happens on your device. Face tracking, beat detection, transitions, and filters run locally. Your wedding footage never leaves your phone or tablet — important when handling personal moments for your clients.
