Stop spending Mondays scrubbing your livestream for clip-worthy moments. Paste your sermon's YouTube link and AI does the editing: it finds the best moments, cuts up to 5 vertical clips, and burns in captions. To be clear about the last step — posting is manual: you download the finished clips and upload them to your channel yourself.

Watch the whole thing to find clip-worthy moments
Cut each clip, reframe it vertical, caption it by hand
Export... wait... re-export when the crop is off
Repeat for clips 2, 3, 4...
Finally upload to YouTube — hours after you started
Skip it one week... then two... then give up
Result: Inconsistent uploads
Your YouTube channel looks abandoned. Subscribers stop checking.
Each week: paste your sermon's YouTube link (30 seconds)
AI reads the full transcript and checks the video frames to find the best moments
up to 5 clips cut automatically — vertical 9:16, speaker tracked, captions burned in
Email lands when they're ready — usually within the hour
Download the MP4s from your dashboard
Upload them to YouTube as Shorts — a 10-minute posting session, not an editing afternoon
Same rhythm every week — the editing never piles up
Result: Consistent weekly clips
The hard part is automated. The 10 minutes that's left is easy to keep doing.
"Automation" here means the clip production. Sermon Clips doesn't connect to your YouTube account, doesn't monitor your channel, and doesn't publish anything on your behalf — you stay in full control of what goes on your channel.
Your sermon is already on YouTube — paste its link (or upload the file directly). No massive re-uploads, no channel connection, no permissions to grant.
The AI reads the full transcript, checks actual video frames, picks the strongest moments, cuts up to 5 clips, reframes each to vertical 9:16 with your pastor tracked, trims dead air, and burns in word-timed captions.
You get an email when clips are ready. Download the MP4s from your dashboard and upload them to YouTube as Shorts (or anywhere else). Posting is manual — about 10 minutes a week.

Weeks a year the editing doesn't pile up
A church that posts its sermon plus a handful of Shorts every single week gives YouTube's algorithm 5–6 chances a week to put the message in front of someone new — instead of one. The reason most churches don't do it isn't the posting. It's the hours of editing in front of the posting. That's the part that automates.
Shorts surface to non-subscribers, which makes them one of the best discovery channels a church channel has — but only if the clips actually go up every week.
No — and that's deliberate. There's no OAuth connection, no channel monitoring, and no publishing on your behalf. You paste a public YouTube link (or upload a file), and Sermon Clips produces the clips. Nothing touches your channel except what you upload yourself.
The editing: moment selection (transcript analysis plus a vision check of the actual frames), cutting, vertical 9:16 reframing with speaker tracking, dead-air trimming, word-timed captions, and a thumbnail per clip. That's the 3–4 hours a week. What's left — downloading the MP4s and uploading them to YouTube — is about 10 minutes.
Not today. Posting is a manual download-and-upload step. Direct publishing is something we're gauging interest in — you can vote for it on the integrations page in your dashboard.
No problem. Upload the sermon video file directly and you get the same clips. The YouTube link is just the most convenient input if your sermon is already there.
Yes — clips come out vertical 9:16 at 1080×1920 with burned-in captions, which is exactly the Shorts format. When you upload a vertical video, YouTube treats it as a Short automatically.
Typically about 5. The AI picks complete thoughts with a clear beginning and end — it aims for the strongest moments rather than padding the count.
Paste this week's sermon link. Get up to 5 vertical, captioned clips back — then post them in one 10-minute sitting.
