Reels are Meta's biggest discovery surface right now — the place your Sunday regulars and the people who've never walked in your doors both scroll on Sunday afternoons. Sermon Clips turns your message into 9:16, captioned, hook-first Reels automatically. No timeline, no second camera, no editor on payroll.

If you're still cropping a 16:9 sermon highlight into a square and calling it a Reel, you're leaving most of the reach on the table.
Instagram's own data shows Reels get 4x the non-follower reach of feed posts — but only when they're true 9:16 vertical. Cropped horizontal clips get throttled.
85% of Reels are watched with the sound off. If your pastor's best line shows up as silent lip movement, the viewer is gone in 2 seconds. Burned-in captions are the baseline now.
3–5 Reels per week is the discovery threshold. That's 12–20 clips a month — impossible to source without a steady pipeline of raw material from Sunday's message.
Five steps. The only one that needs you is the first.
Drop an MP4, MOV, or paste a YouTube link. Horizontal recordings are fine — we'll reframe them.
Our church-trained model scans the full transcript for hooks, convictions, stories, and worship beats. Not viral bait — theologically weighted moments.
9:16 reframe keeps the pastor centered. Religious vocabulary is spelled correctly. Captions are baked into the MP4 so they survive every download.
Every clip lands under 90 seconds, most under 60. Clean exports — no platform watermarks, no logos you didn't pick.
Drop the MP4s into Later, Meta Business Suite, or your scheduler of choice. One sermon = 3–5 Reels per week without re-shooting anything.
Our AI is trained to surface these specifically — because these are the patterns that actually get saved, shared, and DM'd.
One sentence that lands hard. The kind of line someone screenshots and texts to a friend at 11pm on a Tuesday.
When the pastor admits something real — a doubt, a failure, a season of darkness. Vulnerability is the highest-saved sermon content on Reels.
Moments where the gospel cuts against the script the algorithm normally serves. Reels viewers stop scrolling for genuine contrast.
A 45-second story that goes one way and lands somewhere unexpected. Narrative tension keeps the swipe finger off the screen.
Plain-language answers to questions people are actually Googling — anxiety, parenting, marriage, doubt. These get saved more than any other category.
A spontaneous chorus, a tearful refrain, a congregation singing. Worship Reels carry emotion across the algorithm in ways teaching alone can't.
Built specifically for the Reels format. No video editing skill required.
Church-trained model picks the clips a volunteer would've missed.
Auto-reframed, pastor centered, no manual cropping or re-shoot.
Religious vocabulary trained. Captions baked into the MP4 — not a separate file.
Levels matched so Reel #1 isn't whisper-quiet and Reel #2 isn't blowing out earbuds.
Same render also gives you TikTok and YouTube Shorts versions. One upload, three platforms.
If you can drop a file on a dropzone, you can ship Reels this week.
Upload Sunday's message tonight. Wake up tomorrow to 8–12 vertical, captioned, Reels-ready clips — ready to drop straight into your scheduler.

Under 60 seconds, with 30–45 seconds the sweet spot. Shorter Reels finish at a higher rate, and completion rate is one of the biggest signals Instagram uses to push a Reel out to non-followers. Sermon Clips defaults to clips under 90 seconds and lets you trim further before export.
No. Your existing horizontal sermon recording works fine. Our AI auto-reframes to 9:16 vertical and keeps the pastor centered even when the original camera was wide. You don't need a second operator, a vertical rig, or a re-shoot.
3–5 Reels per week is the discovery sweet spot. That's enough volume to signal Instagram you're an active creator without burning out your social team. One 45-minute sermon typically yields 8–12 Reels-ready clips, so a single Sunday gives you a full week of cadence.
No — Instagram only deprioritizes Reels with visible watermarks from other platforms (the TikTok logo, the YouTube Shorts watermark, etc). Sermon Clips exports clean MP4s with your captions and optional branding only, so the algorithm treats them as native content.
