A talking-head sermon clip holds attention for 6 seconds. The same clip with B-roll inserted every 8 seconds gets watched 3–4× longer. Sermon Clips reads your transcript, finds the right footage from 30,000+ assets, and inserts it at the exact right moment — automatically.
No stock site subscription. No editor. No hours browsing footage that doesn't quite fit. Just upload and get professionally produced clips — every week.

Your pastor delivers a powerful message. You record it. You post it. And it gets 7 seconds of attention before someone keeps scrolling. Not because the message wasn't good — because the format wasn't built for mobile.
A static frame — one person, one angle, no visual variety — is the lowest-performing format on every social platform. The algorithm reads low watch time and stops distributing the clip. Your message never reaches the people who need it.
Stock sites charge $50–500/month for access to footage that's not even church-relevant. Filming your own B-roll takes equipment, planning, and editing hours your team doesn't have. Most churches just give up and post talking heads.
Even when you have a stock site subscription, finding footage that actually matches "the race of faith" or "light in darkness" — in the right tone, color grade, and length — takes 30–60 minutes per clip. Every week.
B-roll inserted at the wrong moment feels jarring. It needs to match the word, the metaphor, the emotional beat of the sentence. Doing that by hand requires an editor who actually listened to the sermon. AI can do this at scale.
No other sermon clipping platform has automated B-roll.
OpusClip, Headliner, and SermonShots all output talking-head clips. We don't.
The AI does the work a video editor would do — but in seconds, not hours.
The AI transcribes your sermon and analyzes every sentence for visual themes, metaphors, emotional tone, and topic keywords. "Running the race" → athletics. "Light in darkness" → dawn, candles. "Community" → people together.
The AI doesn't just search for the word "faith" — it understands the emotional and visual context of each moment and finds footage that matches the feeling, not just the label. Semantic search, not tag matching.
B-roll is inserted at natural pause points and visual transition moments in the sermon — not randomly. The cut timing follows the rhythm of the pastor's speech, so it feels like it was edited by a human.
See every B-roll placement before you publish. Swap any clip from the library, upload your own footage, or approve the AI's selections as-is. Full control — or full automation.

You can also upload your own footage. Have great worship service videos, congregational moments, or community event clips? Add them to your personal library and the AI will incorporate them into your clips automatically.
B-roll, translation, and motion graphics are three features exclusive to Sermon Clips. Every other platform stops at clips and captions.
AI B-roll is most valuable for churches that want their content to look professional but don't have the budget or staff to make it happen manually.
You're posting from a phone and a laptop. B-roll automation gives your clips the same production quality as churches with a 3-person media team — without hiring anyone.
You're editing, scheduling, managing 3 social accounts, and handling announcements. Automated B-roll removes the most time-intensive step in clip production.
You're trying to grow reach and you know watch time matters. B-roll is the single highest-impact edit you can make to sermon clips — and now it takes zero extra time.
B-roll is supplemental footage that plays over the main video (the 'A-roll' — your pastor speaking). In sermon clips, B-roll might be nature footage during a message on creation, city scenes during a series on mission, or hands in prayer during a teaching on intercession. B-roll breaks up the talking-head format, increases watch time, and makes clips look professionally produced.
Sermon Clips reads your sermon transcript and identifies key themes, visual metaphors, and emotional tone. When the pastor says 'running this race with endurance,' the AI searches for relevant footage — athletes, forward motion, open roads — and inserts it at that moment. It understands meaning, not just keywords.
30,000+ licensed assets — all royalty-free and cleared for commercial and ministry use. Categories include nature, worship, family, prayer, urban, missions, hope, and more. The library is updated regularly.
Yes. Review every placement before publishing and swap any clip. You can also upload your own footage — worship service B-roll, congregation moments, community events — and the AI will incorporate it alongside the library.
Significantly. A static talking-head clip averages 6–8 seconds watch time on social. Clips with B-roll inserted every 5–10 seconds see 3–4× higher watch-through. For the algorithm, higher retention = wider distribution. For the message, visual reinforcement = better retention of the key point.
