How it works

What happens to your sermon
between upload and download.

Nine steps, all automatic, about fifteen minutes. This page lists every one of them, what it does for you, and the handful of things we deliberately don't do.

1

Send it as it is

Paste the YouTube link or drop the file. No trimming, no export settings, no re-upload if it's long — services up to four hours are fine.

2

We listen to every word

The whole message is transcribed word by word, in the language it was preached in — English, Spanish, Swahili, Korean, Afrikaans and most others.

3

Moments a pastor would pick, not a robot

A sermon-trained model reads the transcript for the illustrations, Scripture turns, one-liners and altar-call moments that stand on their own in 30 to 60 seconds. Openings, announcements and the closing prayer are skipped.

4

Then we actually watch them

Frames from each candidate are checked with vision: the preacher has to be on screen, and a clip that opens on a slide or a QR code is nudged past it or dropped. Fewer clips beat bad clips.

5

Cut to the second

Each moment is cut from your original file at full quality — no re-compression of the source.

6

Vertical, with the preacher in frame

Every clip is reframed to 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. A face tracker follows the speaker as they move, and a lower-third graphic or scripture bar is cropped out when it would sit under the captions.

7

Captions that land on the word

Word-timed captions are burned into the video in the preached language, so the clip works with the sound off — which is how most people scroll.

8

Sounds like the room was quiet

Dead air is trimmed, background hum and hiss are reduced, levels are evened out, and loudness is matched to what the platforms expect. This runs on every clip, every plan.

9

Ready to post, nothing to open

Clips land in your dashboard with a thumbnail and a download button, and you get one email. Typical turnaround is about 15 minutes; long services take longer.

What comes back

  • Up to 5 clips per sermon, 30–60 seconds each, chosen from the whole message
  • Vertical 9:16 with the speaker tracked and centred
  • Word-timed captions burned in, in the language preached
  • Trimmed dead air and cleaned, levelled audio
  • A thumbnail and a one-click download for each clip
  • One email when they're ready — you don't have to wait on the page

What we don't do (yet)

  • Translate or dub — captions are in the language the sermon was preached in
  • Post to your accounts — you download and post (direct publishing is not built)
  • Add B-roll, music beds or motion graphics
  • Square or landscape exports — every clip is vertical today

We would rather you know before you upload than after. If one of these is the thing you need, tell us on the integrations page in your dashboard — that list decides what gets built next.

When a clip is wrong

Sometimes the camera was on the worship team, or the moment the model chose isn't the one you would have picked. Every clip in your dashboard has a thumbs-down and a note box. Those notes are read by a person every day, and clips get re-run when something is off. Fewer good clips beat five with a bad one, so a clip that fails the on-camera check is dropped rather than shipped.
