YouTube serves 70B+ Shorts views per day. The algorithm recommends Shorts to people who have never heard of your church.
Shorts surface to non-subscribers. Every Short is a chance for someone new to find your church.
A 45-minute sermon contains 10–15 quotable moments that stand alone perfectly in 30–60 seconds.
Manual captioning + resizing + cropping takes 30–45 min per clip. AI does all of it in one pass.
Our AI selects for these criteria. It doesn't optimize for shock value — it finds moments with theological weight and a clear narrative arc.
Step by step, start to Shorts
Upload an MP4 or MOV file, or paste your YouTube URL. Any sermon length works.
15–30 minutes for a 45-minute sermon. Our AI analyzes the full transcript for moment quality.
Complete moments with strong openings and theological weight — not just viral hooks. It also checks actual video frames so clips don't open on a slide.
Word-timed captions synced to the speaker, in the language the sermon was preached in. Captions burn in automatically.
Your pastor stays centered even if the original camera was wide. No manual cropping.
Download each clip as a vertical MP4 from your dashboard or the delivery email, then upload to YouTube yourself — vertical uploads are treated as Shorts automatically.

YouTube now treats vertical videos up to 3 minutes as Shorts, but 30–90 seconds is the sweet spot — long enough to land a complete thought, short enough to keep mobile viewers. Sermon Clips' clips land in that range naturally.
No — there's no direct publishing today. You download each clip as an MP4 and upload it to YouTube yourself; a vertical upload is treated as a Short automatically. Posting all up to 5 clips is about a 10-minute job.
Yes. The Shorts discovery algorithm surfaces content to non-subscribers, which makes it one of the best growth channels for church YouTube accounts. Sermons are full of quotable moments that perform naturally in this format.
Typically about 5 per sermon. The AI aims for the strongest complete moments rather than padding the count — fewer good clips beat a pile of mediocre ones.
You need a channel to publish. Sermon Clips generates the clips — you post them wherever you want.
Upload once. Walk away. Come back to up to 5 vertical, captioned, Shorts-ready clips to download and post — no timeline required.
