Wedding Video Editing Pricing
From $249 Per Wedding

Wedding video editing costs from $249 at Eterna Edits for a six-minute cinematic highlight, and from $329 for a ten-minute highlight, a twenty-minute short film or a sixty-minute documentary full film. Across the wider market in 2026, published outsourced editing rates run roughly $50–$250 at freelance marketplaces, $200–$400 with independent freelancers, $280–$520 at dedicated editing studios and $800–$2,000 or more at full-service agencies.

Per wedding. Every price Eterna Edits publishes is a flat rate for one named deliverable from one wedding, not an hourly rate, so the figure you read is the figure you are quoted whenever the footage matches the package. Hourly billing is what makes an editing invoice unpredictable, and removing it is the change videographers ask for most often.

Every one of Eterna Edits’ wedding video editing packages includes one assigned wedding editor, multicam sync of one to seven cameras plus drone footage, color correction and grading to your LUTs or reference films, audio clean-up, licensed-music sync, two revision rounds, the project files and delivery anywhere from 480p to 4K. White-label delivery is standard — no watermark, no Eterna Edits branding and no contact with your couple — and an NDA is signed on request.

Six things move a quote at Eterna Edits: raw footage beyond the ten to twelve hours a package covers, more than seven cameras, a final film longer than the package length, rush delivery inside the standard window, footage that needs stabilising or heavy color matching or audio repair, and extra deliverables cut from the same wedding. All six are checked against your footage before an editor opens a timeline, and the full price is confirmed in writing with your delivery date, so nothing is added after the fact.

A combo bundles two or more deliverables from the same wedding, which costs less than ordering them one at a time because your editor organises, syncs and color-matches the footage once instead of twice. Eterna Edits publishes one combo: a cinematic highlight with a documentary full film at $550. A further 5% comes off any combo package on top of those prices.

Yes, and Eterna Edits pays it in free edits rather than a percentage. Studios shooting 20 to 50 weddings a year get one project edited free for every six they send, so one in every seven films they receive costs nothing. Studios shooting more than 50 weddings a year get two free for every ten sent, so two of every twelve films cost nothing. All projects in a cycle must be sent within 45 days — beyond 45 days the free edit is no longer valid.

No. Eterna Edits has no minimum volume, no retainer and no contract length, and the published price is the same on your first project as on your fiftieth. Most studios send a single wedding first to test the style match before committing a season, and the volume offers simply begin counting from whenever you start.

Standard turnaround at Eterna Edits is from 7 days, and longer films run 7 to 30 days depending on footage volume and complexity, counted in business days from when complete footage and your style guide arrive. Rush delivery inside that window is one of the six factors that moves a quote above the published price, and any surcharge is confirmed in writing with your quote before editing starts.

Yes. Project files ship with every delivery on every package and combo on this page at no extra charge, so your edit is never locked to Eterna Edits’ systems. If you later want to re-cut a film in-house or hand it to another editor, everything needed travels with the final delivery.

An in-house editor is a salary plus software, hardware and the downtime between weddings, carried right through the off-season. Outsourcing converts that fixed cost into a per-wedding line item of $249 to $329 that only appears when you actually shoot, which is why the maths usually turns on how seasonal your calendar is rather than on the headline rate. Our breakdown of in-house versus outsourced editing for studios works through both cost models.

Photo work and standalone grading are quoted separately from the wedding video editing rates on this page, because they are priced per image or per film rather than per wedding. See wedding photo editing services and video color grading services, or ask for both in one quote and Eterna Edits will price the whole wedding together.

Yes. Every price on this page is in US dollars, and Eterna Edits works with wedding videographers and studios across the United States from a sales office in Kalispell, Montana, with the editing studio in Ahmedabad, India. Delivery windows are set so that US studios receive their cuts inside their own working week.
