Animated captions, lower thirds, branded intros, quote cards, and smooth transitions — applied to every sermon clip automatically. The AI reads your transcript, detects the key moments, and chooses the right motion graphic treatment for each one.
What used to take a motion graphics designer 4–6 hours per video now happens in the same pipeline that clips and captions your sermon. One upload. Everything out.

After Effects, Premiere, or design tools needed
Static white captions on a flat background used to be fine. In 2026, with platforms saturated with creator content, your sermon clips are competing against motion-graphic-rich videos from studios with design teams. You don't need a design team. You need AI.
$150–500
Cost to hire a motion designer per video
Even one clip per week adds up to $600–2,000/month. Most churches simply go without.
4–6 hrs
Time to animate one sermon clip in After Effects
Motion graphics require specialized software skills your church media volunteer almost certainly doesn't have.

Other sermon platforms with motion graphics
OpusClip, SermonShots, and Headliner all output clips with static captions only. Motion graphics are ours to own.
Each type serves a different role in the clip. The AI applies all five in the right places, in the right order, with the right timing.
Word-by-word or phrase-by-phrase caption animation synced precisely to the pastor's speech. Karaoke-style highlighting keeps eyes on the screen and improves retention.
Example
"Grace isn't a reward" highlights word by word as Pastor speaks
Branded name-and-title overlays that appear at the start of each clip — pastor name, church name, series title — in your exact brand style.
Example
Pastor John Smith | Grace Church | "Undeserved" Series
When the AI detects a quotable moment, it applies an animated text treatment that makes the quote pop — centered, styled, with a subtle animation entrance.
Example
Full-screen animated treatment: "God's grace isn't earned. It's received."
A 2–3 second animated logo reveal at the start and branded end card at the close. Every clip feels like it came from the same professional media team.
Example
Church logo animates in → sermon title → "Watch more at [url]"
Smooth, intentional cuts between B-roll and sermon footage. No jarring jump cuts. The AI applies the right transition style based on the emotional tone of each moment.
Example
Subtle dip-to-black between B-roll clip and return to pastor

Static captions are table stakes in 2026. Motion graphics are the differentiator — and right now, only Sermon Clips has them built into the sermon clip workflow.
Every plan includes animated captions. More motion graphic types unlock as you scale.
Five types: (1) animated captions — word-by-word synced to speech; (2) lower thirds — pastor and church name overlays; (3) quote cards — animated text treatments for key moments; (4) branded intro/outro; (5) transitions between B-roll and sermon footage. All applied automatically from your uploaded sermon.
Yes. Upload your church logo, set your brand colors and fonts, and every motion graphic template applies your visual identity automatically. Lower thirds use your church's exact name and style. Intros use your logo animation.
No. Everything is automated — you choose a template style and the AI applies it. Optionally adjust colors, font size, animation speed, and positioning from a simple settings panel. No design software required.
Static captions display the full sentence at once. Animated captions highlight each word or phrase as the pastor speaks — keeping the eye engaged and matching the visual rhythm to the audio. Research shows this increases viewer attention and retention.
Animated captions are on every plan including Free. Lower thirds, quote cards, and branded intros are on Starter and above. Full custom brand preset (your exact colors, fonts, and logo) is on Growth and Pro (Coming Soon).
Upload Sunday's sermon. Get clips with animated captions, lower thirds, quote cards, and branded intros — ready in minutes, not hours.
