Built specifically for churches

The Opus Clip alternative built for churches

Opus Clip is built for podcasters and content creators. Sermon Clips is built for church media teams — with AI that understands sermon structure, church publishing workflows, and congregation-friendly pricing.

Upload your sermon. Get 5 ready-to-post clips in minutes. Free to start.

No credit card required. Process your first sermon free.

Why church media teams switch from Opus Clip

Opus Clip is a great tool — for podcasters. Churches have different needs, different budgets, and different workflows.

Sermon-aware AI

Opus Clip's clip detection is trained on podcasts and YouTube content. Our AI understands sermon structure — introductions, key teaching moments, illustrations, and altar calls. It finds the clips that matter to your congregation.

Church-sized pricing

Most church media teams are run by volunteers with tiny budgets. Opus Clip's pricing starts at $15/month for 150 mins — a single hour-long sermon blows past that. Sermon Clips starts at $29/month with no hard minute caps.

Multilingual from day one

30% of US churches have non-English speaking members. We generate sermon transcripts and captions in 30+ languages automatically — including Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, and Portuguese. No extra setup required.

How Sermon Clips works

Three steps. No editing software. No design skills. No video production experience needed.

01

Upload your sermon

Drop in your video file, YouTube link, or connect your church's media platform. We handle the rest.

02

AI finds your best moments

Our AI transcribes the sermon, identifies key teaching moments, emotional peaks, and quotable lines — then generates 5–10 ready-to-post clips.

03

Publish everywhere

Clips come with captions, reframed for vertical, and ready to post to Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook — all from one dashboard.

What church media teams say

We tried Opus Clip but it wasn't built for church content. The clip detection kept missing the key sermon moments. Sermon Clips actually understands what we're trying to highlight.

Marcus T.

Media Director, Crossroads Church

The pricing was a dealbreaker with Opus Clip for a small church like ours. Sermon Clips gives us everything we need for $29/month — and the clips actually look like they were edited by a pro.

Diane R.

Communications Volunteer, Grace Fellowship

Our Spanish-speaking members can now watch sermon clips with captions in their language. That alone made the switch worth it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sermon Clips really free?

Yes — process your first full sermon for free and receive 3 clips. No credit card required. When you're ready to process more sermons, plans start at $29/month.

How is Sermon Clips different from Opus Clip for churches?

Opus Clip is excellent for podcasters and content creators, but its clip detection isn't trained on sermon content. Sermon Clips understands sermon structure — key teaching moments, illustrations, emotional peaks, altar calls. We also include features churches actually need: multilingual captions, transcript generation for blogs/study guides, and church-tier pricing.

What video formats do you support?

We accept MP4, MOV, AVI, and most common video formats. You can also paste a YouTube or Vimeo link directly. If your church streams to Facebook Live or YouTube, we can pull from there.

Can I get captions in Spanish (or other languages)?

Yes — we support 30+ languages for caption translation. Upload your English-language sermon and we'll generate captions in Spanish, French, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, and more.

Do I need video editing experience?

No. Sermon Clips is built for church media teams and volunteer communicators — not video editors. The AI does the work. You review, approve, and publish.

How many clips do I get per sermon?

Typically 5–10 clips per sermon, depending on length and plan. Each clip is 30–90 seconds, trimmed at natural breakpoints, reframed for vertical video, and captioned.
