Wedding planning guide
A polished wedding photo-video montage begins with curation: select authorized images that advance a clear emotional sequence, assign each a purpose and duration, and use motion only to support faces and composition. Approve a bounded edit plan before rendering; for the first AI Wedding Studio workflow, that means up to 30 photos, one authorized audio track, 30 seconds, and either 16:9 or 9:16 output.
Start with the right source material
A bounded, review-first workflow
Remove duplicates, weak frames, unapproved subjects, and images that cannot survive the target crop; keep only selections with a clear role.
Order each photo, set duration and transition, note crop or motion, place captions, and align major changes with the authorized audio segment.
Review sequence, names, crop safety, readable text, emotional balance, and consent before committing to the final render.
Verify dimensions, duration, H.264/AAC playback, audio level, first and last frames, captions, and an offline venue copy.
A thirty-second montage cannot function as a complete archive. Choose images that create visual and emotional movement: place, anticipation, relationship, community, and a final image that can hold. Use another private gallery to preserve everything else.
Fairness still matters. Review whether important people are unintentionally absent or whether one family, event, or era dominates for reasons unrelated to the story. Resolve that with the couple, not an automated face count.
Slow pans and crops should guide attention while protecting faces, text, and the photographer's framing. Random zooms, constant parallax, and a transition on every beat can make still images feel restless and can expose low-resolution detail.
Design separately for wide and vertical destinations. A group portrait that works in 16:9 may be unusable in 9:16 without a different crop or layout; do not rely on automatic center cropping for important people.
An edit decision list makes the output inspectable: image order, duration, crop, motion, transition, caption, and audio cue are visible before rendering. That is faster to correct than repeatedly generating opaque videos.
The final check is technical and editorial. Watch the actual file from beginning to end on the destination device, with sound and without it, and verify that no blank frames, clipped captions, abrupt audio, or accidental private metadata appear.
Quality gate
Privacy and rights
Upload photos into owner-scoped storage and retain only the working files needed for the project. Family archives can reveal children, homes, location metadata, former relationships, health, or grief; give the couple a deliberate exclusion and consent review.
Use one original or properly licensed audio track for the intended venue and distribution. A wedding photographer's delivery and a streaming subscription do not automatically authorize editing, public posting, or recorded-event distribution.
Questions couples ask before drafting
The initial bounded workflow uses up to 30 authorized photos in a 30-second output. The limit keeps review and rendering predictable; choose the strongest story rather than trying to include the full archive.
Use 16:9 for most venue screens and 9:16 for a mobile-first destination. Confirm the actual display, then review every important crop in that format before rendering.
Not merely because it is available to stream. Use an original track or music licensed for synchronization and the intended playback, recording, and online distribution.
The plan exposes order, timing, crops, captions, transitions, and audio cues in a cheap-to-change form. It prevents repeated rendering for decisions that should be settled first.
Confirm appropriate consent for the event and intended distribution, avoid exposing unnecessary personal details, and provide an easy do-not-use review before the final export.
