Start from a film that already works.
A Blueprint is a finished wedding film with the footage taken out. The song, every cut, and what belongs in each one stay put. Hailo fills it from your wedding and hands you the timeline in your editor.
Everything a filmmaker decided, before your footage arrives.
Each Blueprint started as a real wedding film. The footage came out. What's left is the part that took the longest to get right.
The song
A Musicbed track the film was cut to, from the first note to the last.
The cuts
Every cut, where it lands on the music, and how long each shot holds.
The labels
What each slot is asking for: the part of the day, how close the shot is, a note in the filmmaker's words, and when it plays in slow motion.
Teaser
A short film for the couple to post the week after the wedding.
1 buildStory
The longer film, paced like the day itself.
2 buildsDancing
The dance floor, cut fast to the beat.
1 buildHailo has to know your wedding before it can cut it.
A Blueprint builds from a wedding Hailo has already sorted. The sort is what tells it which shot is the first look and which seconds are steady enough to use.
Hailo sorts your wedding
Drop in the cards. Hailo watches every clip and labels it: the part of the day, who is in it, wide or close, and what is happening.
Already sorted a wedding in Hailo? It's ready for a Blueprint now.
Hailo reads every clip for shake
Every second of every clip is measured for shake. You decide how strict that is, per camera if you like, and the dance floor gets its own, looser bar.
A Blueprint plays the seconds that pass. When a slot runs out of steady footage, it takes the steadiest shot you haven't used before it would repeat one.
Pick a Blueprint
Hailo checks every Blueprint against your footage and tells you which ones your wedding can fill, before you spend a build.
Shot slow motion? Choose real time, or slow motion on every shot that was filmed for it.
Hailo builds it
For every slot, Hailo looks at your footage and picks the shot that slot is asking for, then the seconds of it worth playing. A whole film in minutes, not an afternoon.
Make it yours, then open it in your editor
Watch the film in Hailo and swap any shot you'd cut differently. Then open it in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
Every clip sits on the timeline exactly where it played, with the song already underneath. From there it's your edit.
The music is Musicbed. The license is yours.
For now, every Blueprint is cut to a song from Musicbed. You build and edit with Musicbed's watermarked version of the song. Before the film goes to your couple, you need a Musicbed license for it.
Build with the watermarked songIt's already under the film, so you can cut, swap shots and show the couple a draft right away.
License the song on MusicbedYour own Musicbed plan covers it, the same as any song you deliver.
Swap in the licensed fileMusicbed's licensed download carries the same name, so your editor relinks it in place. Every cut stays where it was.
2 months off a Musicbed annual plan.
When your Hailo free trial becomes a paid plan, Hailo gives you a code for 2 months off a new annual Musicbed plan.
For new annual Musicbed plans bought on musicbed.com. The code can't be added to a Musicbed plan you already have.
Blueprint builds come with every plan.
A build is one finished film. Building a Blueprint never uses your tokens. Sorting the wedding first uses tokens the way it always does.
The short answers
Do I need Musicbed to try a Blueprint?
No. Every Blueprint comes with Musicbed's watermarked version of its song, so you can build, edit and show a draft without a license. You need a Musicbed license for the song before you deliver the film.
Do I have to sort the wedding in Hailo first?
Yes. A Blueprint fills its slots from what the sort learned: which part of the day each clip is, who is in it, how close it is, and which seconds are steady. Any wedding you've already sorted in Hailo is ready.
Can I change the shots Hailo picks?
Yes. Swap any shot in Hailo before you open the film, and once it's in your editor every clip is yours to move, trim or replace.
Which editors does it open in?
Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve. The clips land on the timeline exactly as the film played in Hailo, with the song underneath.
Who gets the 2 months of Musicbed?
Anyone who moves from the Hailo free trial to a paid plan. It's 2 months off a new annual Musicbed plan, bought on musicbed.com. It can't be added to a Musicbed plan you already have.
