Watch what AfterRushes made

In short
What happened? Nineteen silent stock clips of a mountain wedding (4.6 minutes of footage, 0.2 GB) became a 2:58 highlight film in six chapters and a 0:30 vertical teaser. On our office PC (Intel Core i7-7700, 16 GB of RAM) the build took 2 minutes 54 seconds, and the AI cost $0.45. Both films are silent.

How we measured. Build time is AfterRushes’ own timer, from pressing Build (with the clips already added) to the films cut and ready to play. Adding the clips and exporting the files aren’t included. AI cost is the Claude API use AfterRushes counted for the project, at Anthropic’s list prices. Electricity, the computer and the licence aren’t in it. The films on this page are AfterRushes’ cuts as exported; any changes asked for are shown under “Changing it in plain English”.

The brief
We asked for a three-minute landscape highlight film in the cinematic style and a 30-second vertical teaser, with the speeches edit turned off and no music file. The project was made on 9 October 2026, on our office PC (Intel Core i7-7700, 16 GB of RAM).
What went in
Anastasia Shuraeva filmed the 19 clips and published them on Pexels, and we used them to show what AfterRushes does.
Together the clips come to 4.6 minutes of footage and 0.2 GB, all at 24 fps. Twelve are 1920×1080 and one is 1280×720. The other six are upright, five at 1080×1920 and one at 720×1280. The camera isn't recorded in the files, none of the clips has any sound, and there were no photos. No clips were set aside as unusable. Every one of the 19 appears somewhere in the highlight film, most of them more than once.

What the AI noticed
- Music suggestion
Add a soft, building cinematic track for the highlight film and an upbeat song for the teaser, since no music was recorded on the day.
- Pacing suggestion
Hold the ceremony kiss and the final embrace a second longer for a slower, more emotional finish.
- Title suggestion
Replace the title card with the couple's first names … for a more personal opening.
- Suggested addition
Add any drone or wide landscape footage … to open and close the film, if you have it.
- Story decision
With no speeches or music recorded on the day … The 30-second vertical teaser pulls the strongest kisses, the dip, the ring and the bouquet toss into quick portrait cuts. Neither film has a song yet, so please add a track before export.
The music
No music was recorded on the day and none was supplied, so the film has no soundtrack, and as the clips have no sound, it plays silent. Given a licensed track of your own, AfterRushes finds its beats and cuts the film to them.
Technical details
There is no music in this film, and no sound of any kind. None of the 19 clips has any sound, so nothing recorded on the day could become the soundtrack, and no music file was supplied. Both films are silent as AfterRushes made them.
With a wedding's own footage, AfterRushes uses the band or DJ recorded on the day as the soundtrack when the recording is clean enough, or the photographer's own licensed track. Music for wedding films covers both.

What it didn’t do
- It didn't add sound. Both films stay silent until a track goes in.
- It ran just under the length asked for. We asked for three minutes, and the highlight film runs 2:58. The teaser runs 0:30, as asked.
- It kept to what was filmed. There is no getting-ready chapter, and with no sound there are no vows or speeches to hear.
- The AI makes the first cut. Before delivering a film like this, a photographer would still add a licensed track, put the couple's names on the title card, decide which of the AI's notes to take and watch the whole cut to make it their own. Making an AI first cut your own covers what to check.
Questions about this film
How long did AfterRushes take to make this film?
The screen recording of the build shows AfterRushes finishing both films after 2 minutes 54 seconds, on our office PC (Intel Core i7-7700, 16 GB of RAM). That was for 19 clips and 4.6 minutes of footage. Times for other weddings vary with the footage and the computer.
What did the AI cost for this film?
The AI cost $0.45 for this build. With the founding licence, full films use your own Claude key, so you pay Anthropic directly for what you use, and the cost for your own weddings varies with the footage.
Was the footage uploaded anywhere?
No. AfterRushes keeps the video files, edits and finished films on the computer it runs on, and we never receive footage. To plan the film, still frames from each clip go to the AI, straight from that computer to Anthropic with the photographer's own Claude key.
Can the photographer change the edit?
Yes. The AI makes the first cut, and the photographer reviews it and makes it theirs on the timeline, with one-click suggestions such as the AI's notes on this film, or by asking the Assistant for changes in plain English. Only the shots that changed re-render.
Is this a real couple's wedding?
No. It is stock footage filmed by Anastasia Shuraeva and published on Pexels, used to show what AfterRushes does. The people in it are models, not AfterRushes customers, and nothing here implies they endorse it.
