Not for: Not a tool that writes a nikah from photographs, and not a livestream of the signing.
Story beats for this day
- Seating and the quiet room. Hands, documents, the people who have to be in the frame. Documentary keeps this before the party; tell Auto-Edit who matters so it is not skipped.
- The nikah itself. Signatures, duas, a still room. Faces over décor. If you were asked not to film a moment, it will not appear; the reel only uses your footage.
- Rukhsati. Leaving is its own act. Give it a phrase of the song so it is not a flash between two party shots.
- Walima entrance. A second gathering. If this is a second reel, it needs its own song. One song stretched across both days undersells both.
- The floor and the family portraits. Portraits in the gap before the floor fills. Mixed flash and stage light is expected; Auto Balance Colour is the first pass, not the last word.
After Vantacut Auto-Edit makes the cut, walk these beats on the timeline. A missing one is an ordinary clip; swap it in.
How Vantacut cuts it
Import each day’s cards and turn on AI analysis; speech is understood in 22 Indian languages and English. Cut the nikah as its own film if that is what you sold; do not hide it inside a dance reel. Emotional or Documentary suits the signing; keep Energetic for a separate walima teaser.
The music
A song with a still centre for the signing, and room at the end for the walima floor. If the family asked for nasheed only, that is the song; the cut follows whatever you load. Keep a line of a dua or a speech and the music ducks under it.
The light
An indoor nikah is often soft and mixed; walima stages run saturated LEDs. The jump between those two rooms is the usual colour complaint. Let Auto Balance Colour even it out, then finish the portraits on the colour page if they go muddy.
Theme
Start with Emotional. You pick it alongside the song and the brief, and if the pace is wrong you can run Auto-Edit again with another of the four.
Your footage stays on your computer
Editing, playback and export run on your computer, and your original footage and songs never leave it. To find moments, Auto-Edit shares low-quality copies of your clips, still frames and the speech, and the app asks once before anything is sent. The editor works worldwide, in English; credit packs are priced in Indian rupees.
Questions
We were not allowed to film the signing. What happens?
Auto-Edit only uses the clips you give it. Choose the song around the moments you have, and tell it what matters when it asks.
The nikah and walima are a week apart.
Two shoots, two songs if they are two films. Each clip is only watched once, so footage you already analysed is not watched again.
Are prices in my currency?
No. Credit packs are priced in Indian rupees, and Auto-Edit is charged in credits by the minute. The editor works worldwide.
