Market Opportunity
Wedding videographers are overwhelmed editing full-length videos. They often subcontract highlight reel editing — a 3–5 minute cinematic summary. AI can auto-select the best clips, sync to music, and apply color grading. Remote editing is standard in this industry.
The Idea
Offer wedding and event highlight reel editing as a subcontractor to videographers. They send raw footage; you deliver a cinematic 3–5 minute highlight reel with music sync, color grading, and storytelling flow. Use AI for initial clip selection and beat detection. Charge $300–800 per wedding. Build relationships with 5–10 videographers for steady workflow.
Key to Success
- Master music-synced editing — cutting on the beat transforms amateur footage into cinematic moments
- Create a signature editing style (vintage film, modern clean, romantic soft) that videographers can sell to clients
- Offer 48-hour turnaround as a premium upsell — wedding videographers will pay extra during peak season
