In short
Wedit is a Mac and Windows app for wedding filmmakers that uploads lightweight proxies for cloud processing and exports timelines to Premiere, Final Cut and Resolve. AfterRushes runs on your Windows PC or Intel Mac, is bought once, and makes a film, a vertical teaser and captions you can change in plain English.
Wedit and AfterRushes both make wedding films with AI, but they’re built for different people. Wedit describes itself as an editor “built for wedding filmmakers”. AfterRushes is for wedding photographers who capture video but don’t want to become video editors. This page compares the two, using Wedit’s own website for everything we say about it. It’s part of our guide to choosing an AI wedding video editor.
What is Wedit?
Wedit calls itself “one complete AI editor, built for wedding filmmakers” (wedit.ai). Its site says it was “created by wedding filmmaker Ido Golan” and that “Wedit is based in Israel” (terms).
It’s “a desktop app with cloud processing” (Wedit) for Mac and Windows. The app “prepares lightweight proxy copies for upload and analysis; your original camera files stay on your computer or storage drive.” You keep Wedit open while it uploads, and it emails you when the film is ready.
How do Wedit and AfterRushes compare?
| Wedit | AfterRushes | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | A desktop app for Mac and Windows | Windows 10 and 11, and Intel Macs (desktop app) |
| Your footage | Lightweight proxy copies are uploaded for cloud processing; originals stay on your drive | Stays on your computer; only still frames, photos and transcripts go to the AI |
| Built for | Wedding filmmakers | Wedding photographers who don’t edit video |
| Pricing | Per wedding: full movie $89, highlights $119; or an “all access” plan at $699 a month | A one-time purchase, plus the AI at cost with your own key; first wedding free |
| What it makes | Highlight films and full wedding movies; its Reels workflow is “coming soon” | A highlight film of 3 to 15 minutes (the free film up to 8), a 30 or 60 second vertical teaser, an optional speeches edit and a captions file |
| After the AI edit | A shot board to remove and replace moments; timeline export to Premiere (XML), Final Cut (FCPXML) and Resolve | Changes in plain English, one-click suggestions, and move, trim and delete on the timeline; exports finished films (export to Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve is coming) |
| Music | You add your own songs | The band or DJ recorded on the day, or your own licensed track |
Wedit’s prices are in US dollars, from its homepage and cost page. Wedit says the $699 plan is a launch offer “open until October 31”, so check the current price. AfterRushes’s price is on our pricing page.
What’s the difference for your footage?
Wedit uploads lightweight proxies, not your full-size camera files, which is much less to send than a whole wedding. Its site says footage “is encrypted while it is transferred and stored, is kept with your account and is used only to provide the service”, and that you can delete it with the project.
AfterRushes sends no video at all. The analysis, cutting and rendering happen on your own computer, and only still frames, photos and the transcript go to Claude, Anthropic’s AI, to plan the film. Where your footage goes has the details, and keeping couples’ footage private lists the questions to ask any tool.
When might Wedit suit you better?
- You finish films in Premiere, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Wedit exports an editable timeline that, in its words, “reconnects to the original media on your computer” (export guide). AfterRushes exports finished films today; export to Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve is coming.
- You deliver full-length wedding movies. Wedit’s full movie is organised into chapters for “intro, ceremony, reception, party and outro”. AfterRushes makes highlight films, teasers and a speeches edit, not a full documentary edit.
- You edit on an Apple silicon Mac. AfterRushes runs on Windows and on Intel Macs today, and its Apple silicon version is coming.
- You film a lot of weddings and an unlimited monthly plan works out cheaper for you.
When does AfterRushes suit you better?
- You don’t edit video. You change the film by asking in plain English, such as “use the second song”, instead of working in an editing application.
- You want a vertical teaser now. AfterRushes makes a 30 or 60 second teaser for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, framed around faces. See the teaser reel maker.
- You want nothing uploaded. No video leaves your computer.
- You’d rather buy once and pay for the AI at cost. On our 26-clip test wedding, the AI cost $0.55 to $0.66.
- You want the band on the day as the soundtrack when the recording is clean enough, and a captions file with every film.
How should you decide?
Try both on the same wedding. Your first AfterRushes wedding is free with a free-film key from the free-film page, for films of up to 8 minutes (for now the free film uses your own Claude key for the AI), and Wedit says “Your first project is included”. Watch each result once without stopping, then think about what happens next: finishing a timeline yourself, or asking for changes in plain English. How to choose an AI wedding video editor lists the other questions worth asking, and framing wedding video for vertical helps you judge the teasers.
