Not for: Not a choreography teacher, and not an app that syncs eight phones to the stage track for you.
Story beats for this day
- Family dances, in the billed order. Parents, siblings, the couple’s number. The song wants pace and the family wants their slot. Check the order after the cut.
- The couple’s performance. If this is the reason the sangeet exists, it needs a phrase of its own. Tell Auto-Edit the couple matter most when it asks.
- Guest items you were asked to keep. A cousin’s dance that was in the contract. If the cut dropped it, put it back. The AI does not know the contract unless you say so in the brief.
- Front-row faces. Reactions are the edit. Emotional would hoard them; Energetic still needs a few, or the reel is only feet.
- The last chorus on a full floor. End when the floor is full. A half-empty wide as the closer is the usual repair on this job.
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 the sangeet cards, often a separate shoot, and turn on AI analysis; the speeches and the emcee are understood in 22 Indian languages and English. Trim the song to the teaser or film you sold, pick Energetic, and press Create. After the cut, restore any billed family dance that went missing: ordinary clips, ordinary reorder.
The music
Use the stage track as the song if the couple wants to hear what they danced to. Otherwise pick a shorter song, and accept that the picture will not match the live mix.
The light
Stage spots, haze, phones in the crowd, often a cold camera. Auto Balance Colour evens white balance, which can fight a stage look; grade the night by hand on the colour page if you want it as it was.
Theme
Start with Energetic. 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
The live mix and my song will clash.
The cut follows the song you load. If you need the live track, load that, knowing the reel will be as long as it is.
Eight relatives sent phone clips.
Import them like any other clip and line them up on the timeline if you need them.
Is this a different product from the wedding editor?
No. The same desktop app, the same four themes, the same credits. A sangeet is one use of it.
