A wedding on VHS. A reel about the two of them.
Watch the finished reel from Brian and Leah Foote’s 1991 wedding reception. KinCut selected 17 moments where the bride and groom appear together in the original tape.

These numbers describe this recording. They are not a promise about how much another wedding film will shorten. Project notes record a scan of about six minutes for this tape; upload speed, queue time and processing time vary.

How this reel was made
Make highlights from your own wedding video Search a long video by face
- The digitised wedding tape was scanned to group faces within that video.
- The bride and groom were chosen from the faces found, keeping moments where they appear together.
- KinCut assembled the selected moments into this reel with picture improvements and music. The wedding reel was not cut together by hand.
What you see and hear
The reel brings together close-ups of the couple, their wedding cake and moments from the reception. Love Song replaces the original sound. It is an example of choosing people already in a real recording, rather than generating new scenes.
Other guests can remain in the same frame. Selecting the couple does not remove or blur everybody around them.
What an old tape still needs
KinCut works with video files, not physical tapes. Digitise a VHS, Hi8 or MiniDV tape first. Recognisable faces matter: heavy blur, darkness and tiny faces can produce missed or incorrect matches. Picture improvements cannot guarantee a match when the source contains too little detail.
