Upload your full Sunday sermon. Our AI finds the best moments, adds captions, and outputs 30+ clips — completely free for your first sermon. No credit card needed.
First full sermon free · No CC · Your clips, forever
A sermon clip maker is software that takes your full-length sermon recording and automatically identifies the most shareable moments — a powerful quote, a compelling story, a convicting call-to-action — then exports those moments as short-form videos ready for social media. Instead of a volunteer spending Monday morning scrubbing through a 45-minute recording, the software does it in minutes.
The “free” part matters more for churches than for most content creators. Many churches operate with tight budgets, volunteer media teams, and limited time to evaluate new tools. Committing to a monthly subscription before seeing real results from your actual sermons — with your pastor's voice, your congregation's energy — is a hard sell to any church leadership team.
A genuine free trial — one that processes a full sermon with no watermark and no credit card — lets your team evaluate the actual output before any budget conversation. That's the only honest way to know if the tool works for your specific context.
No watermarks. No time limits. No CC.
CapCut and iMovie require 4–8 hours of manual editing per week. General AI tools like OpusClip are built for TikTok creators — they don't understand sermon structure, scripture references, or altar calls.

I tried the free sermon and was shocked — it found the exact moment I would have picked manually, and the captions were perfect. We upgraded the same week.

We used CapCut for a year. Sermon Clips' free trial did in 20 minutes what took our volunteer 4 hours. That math was easy.

The AI actually knew 'Philippians 4:13' — spelled it right in the captions. I've never had that with any other tool.

Not every free tool delivers the same experience. Before you invest time uploading a sermon, here are the four things that actually separate church-ready software from generic video editors.
Generic AI clip tools are trained on YouTube vlogs and TikToks — they optimize for entertainment hooks, not teaching moments. A church-native tool knows the difference between an illustration, a scripture reading, and an altar call. That difference determines whether the clips it selects actually reflect your ministry.
Auto-captions from general-purpose tools routinely mishandle words like “Philippians,” “Deuteronomy,” “righteousness,” or any pastor's proper name. Clips with misspelled scripture citations undermine trust. Look for a tool trained specifically on religious content.
Some tools call something a “free trial” but require a credit card to start, add a watermark to every clip, or limit you to 30 seconds. If you can't evaluate the full output at full quality, you can't make a real decision. Look for a trial that processes a full sermon with no restrictions.
A typical 45-minute sermon has 20–40 shareable moments. Tools that produce 3–5 clips are making editorial choices for you — and often missing your best content. Look for a tool that surfaces enough clips that your team can choose, rather than one that already chose for you.
Yes. Your first full-length sermon is processed with all features enabled — no credit card required. You get 30+ clips, auto-captions, and both vertical and landscape formats.
Paid plans start at $19/mo. You upgrade when you're ready — there's no pressure and no auto-charge. Your clips from the free sermon are yours to keep regardless.
15–30 minutes for a typical 45-minute sermon. Longer sermons take a bit more time.
MP4, MOV, and direct YouTube URLs. If your church streams to YouTube, just paste the URL.
Yes, always. Your content is yours. We don't watermark free-tier clips and we don't use your content for training without permission.
