AI video culling software that sorts the whole wedding day
AI video culling software should do for wedding clips what photo culling does for stills: get you from everything you shot to the shots worth your time. Hailo labels every main camera clip under your length limit by the part of the day it belongs to, writes a sentence on what is in it, and tells the couple from the guests. Nothing is deleted. You open your editor with the whole day sorted.

What culling means when the footage moves
Search for AI video culling and most of what comes back is built for photos. Wedding video culling is a different job. A clip has a start, a middle and a shaky end, and the question is rarely keep or reject. It is which part of the day this belongs to, and whether it earns a place in the film.
Hailo is AI video culling software for that job and only that job. It does not touch photos, and it never decides what makes your final cut. It puts the day in order so your own deciding goes faster.
AI video culling software that reads the whole day
Hailo reads the day in the order it happened, from the first dress shot to the last song on the open floor, and files every main camera clip under its part of the day. Want it finer? Split prep into bride and groom, portraits into family, bridal party and couple, dancing into formal dances and open floor. Each sorted clip also gets a description in plain words, and Hailo tells the couple from their guests across the whole day. The labels and how you correct them are covered on the AI video logging page.
Choosing, not deleting
Culling in Hailo means choosing. Every original stays on your drive, untouched. On the results screen you filter by moment, select Hailo's own pick with Smart or keep only the strongest clips, then play the selection back as one timeline before you export. The selects page covers that preview and the best-moment markers.
Where the labels stop
The labels follow the shape of a Western wedding day, and elopements fit them too. A Hindu, Sikh, Chinese or Jewish ceremony has no labels of its own yet, so its rituals are not named. Every day that is not the wedding day, such as a welcome party or a brunch, is labeled by what is in the shot instead, and on an Indian wedding a day confirmed as the Haldi, Mehndi or Sangeet is labeled as that event, as the multi-day page explains.

Questions filmmakers ask
Is there AI culling software for video?
Yes, though most tools sold as AI culling are built for photos. Hailo is built for wedding video: it labels every main camera clip under your length limit by moment, writes a sentence on what is in it and tells the couple from the guests. It does not cull photos at all, so a photographer gets nothing from this part of Hailo.
Can Aftershoot or Imagen cull video clips?
Both are best known as photo tools, and what they do with video can change, so check their own feature pages for the current answer. Hailo sits on the other side of the line: it sorts wedding video clips and does not cull photos. If you deliver both, the two jobs need two tools.
How does AI sort wedding footage by moment?
Hailo looks at each clip on your main cameras, up to your length limit, and names the part of the wedding day it belongs to, from prep to the open floor, then writes a sentence on what is in the shot. You choose which moments it tracks before the run. When it gets one wrong, click the badge and pick the right moment, and that fix survives every re-run.
Does AI culling delete any of my clips?
Not in Hailo. Culling here means labeling and choosing, and your original files are never changed, moved or deleted. A clip you leave unselected is dimmed in the grid, and a clip that trimming dropped shows a red badge with the reason, so you can select either one and export again.
How much does AI video culling cost?
In Hailo, only main-footage clips spend tokens, because those are the clips it watches one by one. Drone, long-form, action camera and audio folders cost nothing to sort, and telling the couple from the guests is free. You see a token quote before every run. Labeling needs an internet connection. Plans are on the pricing page.
