Highlight Edit Styles

Your highlight film,
edited the way your day felt.

Every CineMotive highlight is cinematic and documentary-inspired at its core. Before we edit yours, you make three simple choices — and the films below show exactly what each one looks like.

Your three choices

Three choices shape your highlight.

These are the same three questions on your video edit questionnaire. There’s no wrong answer — just the version of the film that feels most like the two of you. We need your choices before editing begins.

01

Dialogue

Do we hear your voices?

With dialogueYour vows and speeches woven through the music, so the film is carried partly by your own words — and the words of the people closest to you.

Music-led, no dialogueThe story told through music, image and movement alone — pure atmosphere, from the morning through to the last dance.

Choose dialogue if the words of the day matter as much as the moments.

02

Pacing

How it moves

Slow & emotionalIntimate moments, gentle transitions, longer scenes and more slow motion — tender and unhurried.

A mix of slow + upbeatEmotional moments balanced with livelier ones — smooth transitions, occasional slow motion, lifting with the energy of the celebration.

Choose by feel — the films below show both, with and without dialogue.

03

Structure

The order it’s told in

ChronologicalEdited in the natural order of the day — morning → ceremony → reception — telling the story as it unfolded.

Time-shifted / story-ledMoments may be rearranged to enhance the storytelling, rather than follow strict time order.Only available if your highlight includes dialogue.

Story-led works because your words become the thread that carries the film.

Have a song in mind? You’re welcome to suggest your own music — we’ll just make sure it suits the pacing you’ve chosen.

See the difference

Each pacing, edited two ways.

Here’s each pacing style with dialogue and without — the clearest way to feel the difference. Tap any film to play it here.

01

Slow & Emotional

Tender · Unhurried · Intimate

Intimate moments, gentle transitions, longer scenes and more slow motion. For couples who want their film to feel romantic and full of feeling.

02

A Mix of Slow + Upbeat

Emotional · Lively · Celebratory

A balance of slow and livelier moments, with smooth transitions and occasional slow motion. For couples who want the emotion and the energy of the day.

Leaning towards a time-shifted, story-led edit? It’s only possible with dialogue — your vows and speeches become the thread, so the order of the film is shaped around your own words.
