Same day edit. How long have you got?
 

Hi

I know every country has there own running order when it comes to weddings but im just wondering how much time have you got to get your edit completed?

Hi Niall,

Weddings in the midwest US are more often than not all-day events with a 2 hour gap between the ceremony and reception. During that time the wedding party has a photo session or bar-hops. The guests have a cocktail hour (or two). A typical schedule is a 2:00 ceremony, then at 4:00 they leave the church. Dinner is 6:30 or so and dancing about two hours later. At the majority of events I show the SDE during dessert.

The most stressful SDE I ever did was about 6 years ago when the ceremony was at 6pm, and they wanted to show it at 7:30pm! They understood that if I couldn't edit it in time, they would push back the playback time. Incredibly, I finished it on time and it was a complete success. I couldn't have done it without Edius... realtime playback at SD resolution back then, no rendering at all. Typically though, there is a lot more time and we try to show the SDE as early as possible. The sooner you can show it, the bigger the impact.

In Singapore we get 4-6hrs typically. Chinese weddings start at 6am to 1pm. Reception starts at 7pm. Some couples do the solemnization/take their vows on a different day and there are no church weddings due to the multi culture/religions.

But sometimes we do get solemnizations at 6pm then the SDE gap is lesser by an hour.
