The Challenge
Sarah Chen Films covers high-end weddings with up to 8 cameras, generating 400+ GB of footage per event. The biggest bottleneck was always the same: spending two full days reviewing and culling raw clips before the creative edit could even begin. With 30+ weddings per year, that added up to 60 lost days of pure review work.
The Solution
Sarah integrated Spingle into her Premiere Pro workflow, using Precision Culling to automatically filter out shaky, blurry, and duplicate clips. AI Selects then helped her find specific moments — first dances, ring exchanges, candid reactions — using natural language prompts instead of manual scrubbing.
The Results
The results were immediate. Culling time dropped from 16 hours to 4 hours per event. AI Selects reduced the time to find specific moments by 85%. Sarah now delivers first-cut previews within 48 hours of the wedding, up from a week. Client satisfaction scores increased, and she was able to take on 10 additional weddings per year.
“Spingle changed my entire business model. I went from dreading the cull to actually enjoying the edit again.”
