Understanding Video Codecs for Wedding Delivery
The codec you choose dramatically affects file size and compatibility. H.264 (MP4) is the most widely supported format — it streams in any browser and keeps file sizes manageable. H.265 (HEVC) offers roughly 30% smaller files at the same quality, but browser support is limited.
ProRes 422 and ProRes 4444 are mastering codecs designed for editing, not streaming. They produce massive files (5–10x larger than H.264) and require download before playback. DNxHR is Avid's equivalent, common in broadcast workflows.
For most wedding deliveries, H.264 at 4K offers the best balance of quality, file size, and compatibility. Couples can stream instantly and download the full-quality file.
How File Size Affects Your Delivery Options
A typical wedding package with a highlight reel, ceremony, and reception edit in H.264 4K totals around 27–40 GB depending on frame rate and duration. That immediately rules out free tiers like WeTransfer (3 GB) and basic Google Drive (15 GB).
General-purpose cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive) wasn't built for large video delivery. You'll deal with virus scan blocks, download quotas, confusing folder structures, and an unprofessional experience for your couples.
Purpose-built platforms like viddrop handle large files natively with resumable uploads up to 300 GB, a branded delivery page your couples will love, and simple per-wedding pricing that scales with your business.
