Wedding video editing in Chennai
Fourteen hours of footage contains about four minutes anyone will rewatch. My job is finding those four minutes and cutting them so they still land on the tenth viewing.
What you get
Priced per event. Most families take the highlight film and the full edit together.
Highlight film plus full ceremony edit together: from ₹25,000.
How I cut a wedding
Most wedding edits are built chronologically — arrival, ceremony, meal, reception — which is how the day happened but not how anyone remembers it. I select for feeling instead, then let the order follow.
The mother watching from the third row is usually a better shot than the ceremony itself.
-
STEP 01
Watch everything
All of it, once, marking the moments that hold — not the ones on the shot list.
-
STEP 02
Find the audio spine
A vow, a speech line, a laugh. The film is built on that, not on the music.
-
STEP 03
Rough cut for approval
Structure and pacing first, before time goes into colour and titles.
-
STEP 04
Grade, mix, deliver
Colour matched across cameras, audio cleaned, exports for TV and for phones.
What footage I need from you
I edit; I don't shoot. If your videographer supplies these, the edit goes smoothly.
-
All camera cards, unedited
Original files, not a pre-trimmed selection. Compressed re-exports lose grading headroom.
-
Separate audio, if recorded
A lapel or recorder track transforms the vows section. Camera-mic audio rarely survives a hall.
-
Names and correct spellings
For titles. A misspelt name in a wedding film is the one mistake nobody forgives.
-
Anyone who must appear
Grandparents, a relative who travelled far. Tell me before the cut, not after.
-
A music direction
A reference track or a mood. I supply licensed music matched to it.
-
A hard disk, ideally
For a full wedding, couriering a drive across Chennai beats uploading half a terabyte.
Wedding editing FAQs
How much does wedding video editing cost in Chennai?
The highlight film starts at ₹16,000 and the full ceremony edit at ₹11,000, or ₹25,000 for both together. A teaser reel is ₹3,500 and a save-the-date ₹5,500.
Do you shoot the wedding as well?
No, I only edit. Your videographer shoots and hands over the footage. If you need a shooter I can suggest people I have worked with, but the shoot is billed by them directly.
How long does the edit take?
Two to three weeks for a highlight film plus full edit, counted from when the footage arrives. A teaser reel can be turned around in two or three days if you want something to post early.
How do I get the footage to you?
A hard disk is usually fastest for a full wedding — half a terabyte takes a long time to upload. Courier or drop it anywhere in Chennai. For smaller shoots a Drive link is fine.
Can I choose the songs?
Send a reference track or describe the mood and I will find a licensed track that matches. I do not use copyrighted film songs, because the video will get claimed or muted the moment you post it.
What if I want changes after seeing it?
Two revision rounds are included. The rough cut stage is where structural changes belong — once colour and titles are done, reordering scenes means redoing that work, so speak up early.

Footage sitting untouched since the wedding?
It happens constantly, and old footage edits just as well. Send a drive whenever you're ready.
