We have compiled three common problems that are usually encountered when making wedding videos, as follows:

1. How much material does it take to produce a wedding opening video that is about 3 to 5 minutes long?

It is recommended to prepare 80-120 photos and 10-15 short video clips. Sufficient material ensures more choices when editing and avoids monotony in the film. It is recommended to prepare more highlight photos in order to pick the most exciting moments.

2. How to make the wedding video playback smoother?

• Unified material specifications: ensure consistent resolution of photos and videos
• Optimize transition effects: use simple and natural transitions to avoid overly fancy ones
• Test equipment in advance: Pre-test the playback effect at the banquet venue
• Backup files: Prepare multiple backups just in case

3. How early should you start preparing to make a wedding video?

It is recommended to start planning 2-3 months before the wedding. Specific time allocation:

• 2-3 months ago: Conceive the theme and collect materials
• 1-2 months ago: Editing and production
• 2 weeks ago: First version completed and fine-tuned
• 1 week ago: Final testing and backup

Do you think it’s too time-consuming to edit wedding videos using software or online tools? GenApe AI simplifies the process and quickly transforms love stories into touching wedding videos.

1. Enter your love story content

Directly enter the scene you want to present, the story of how the two met, and unforgettable memories, or upload the already written copy. AI will automatically analyze the content and generate videos.

Chinese instructions: On the beach under the sun, a slow-motion shot of a newlywed couple holding hands and running sweetly, finally freezes at the moment when the two happily embrace. Opening text (0-1 seconds): "That moment is eternity." Ending text (8-10 seconds): Present the couple's name and wedding date. The tone of the video should be a warm golden sunset filter with a soft light effect; the music should be paired with a short, soft and crescendo romantic piano melody; the rhythm should be smooth slow motion, creating a beautiful and dreamy atmosphere.

2. Choose the wedding video style you want to produce

Provides a variety of style choices such as movie style, fantasy, light luxury, animation, etc.
