Wedding Footage Selects — Scrub, Trim, and Build a Premiere Timeline (No Editing)

Posted 3 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I have about five hours of wedding footage sitting in Google Drive, shot over four days. I need someone patient to watch every second of it and pull out the good stuff. This is not an editing job. No color, no music, no story. I just want a clean timeline of usable shots so an editor can take over later. What you'll do Download the footage from a Google Drive folder I share with you Watch all of it. Every clip, front to back, at a speed where you actually see what's happening Cut each clip down to the parts worth keeping Drop those selects onto a Premiere Pro timeline in order Send the project back What "worth keeping" means Most clips are long and mostly dead. A one-minute clip might have 13 good seconds at the front, junk through the middle, then a 6-second shot at the end where the bride and groom kiss. I want both of those pieces and nothing in between. Keep it if: It's in focus and reasonably steady Something is happening — a reaction, a kiss, a laugh, a toast, a detail shot It could show up in a music video or a highlight reel Cut it if: It's out of focus, shaky, or blown out The camera is drifting, resetting, or pointed at nothing It's the first few seconds before the shot settles (usually about 5 seconds) When you're unsure, keep it. I'd rather trim later than lose a moment. How to organize it The footage covers four days and a handful of separate sessions — a dinner, some pool footage, and so on. Build a separate sequence for each session. You'll be able to tell what belongs together just by looking. Same location, same light, same people, same stretch of time. File creation dates will help you sort by day. Name each sequence plainly. Something like Day 2 — Pool or Day 3 — Dinner. What I don't need Color grading. Music. Transitions. Effects. Any creative decisions at all. Deliverables One Premiere Pro project file with a sequence per session All selects in order inside each sequence Media folder structure kept exactly as I sent it, so the project relinks cleanly on my machine Everything returned to a Google Drive folder You're a fit if You own Premiere Pro and know it well You have the storage and bandwidth for large files You're patient and detail-oriented. This job is 90% attention span. Budget Fixed price. I'll start with a small paid test batch, then set the price for the rest once I see your pace and quality.
