What uploading a wedding would take
Cloud AI video tools need the whole wedding uploaded first, often 100 to 500 GB. Try your own numbers:
Uploading to a cloud editor
13 h 20 min
Start it at 10 pm after the wedding and it finishes at 11:20 am the next day.

Nothing to upload
Your footage stays on your computer. Only still frames and transcripts go to the AI.
Hours = GB × 8,000 ÷ Mbps ÷ 3,600, at full speed the whole time. Real uploads are often slower.
