Clipping is the job nobody has time for
Two to three hours in an editor per sermon, after a Sunday that already started at 7am. It is the first thing dropped when the week gets busy.
FOR CHURCH MEDIA TEAMS
A simpler Monday for your media team.
The stream is finished, the sermon is uploaded, and the clips are still sitting on the list. This turns that list into five reels you review instead of five reels you cut.
WHAT ARRIVES
Five reels from one recording.
Each one runs about 25 to 40 seconds, framed on the speaker, captioned word by word, with your church name and the scripture reference when it was spoken aloud.

What usually gets in the way
The person who can edit is one person
When they are away, nothing goes out. A volunteer who has not been trained on the timeline cannot pick it up.
Captions are the part that gets skipped
Word timed captions are slow to do by hand, so clips go out silent-unfriendly and get scrolled past.
How the week actually runs
Four steps, and only the first one needs you at a keyboard.
- MONDAY
Paste the link
The sermon is already on your channel. Paste it, or upload the file from the stream machine.
- MONDAY
Five reels arrive
Framed on the speaker, cut on phrase boundaries, captioned word by word, levels balanced for phones.
- MONDAY
Review as a team
Invite the people who should see them. Editors can approve, viewers can watch and download, and you keep the owner seat.
- THE WEEK
Post on your own schedule
Download the files, or on Publish schedule the approved reels to YouTube Shorts across the week.
THE PLAN THAT USUALLY FITS
Publish
A media team usually wants the posting copy and the schedule, not just the files. Publish adds titles, descriptions, hashtags and YouTube Shorts posting to everything in Reels.
Start with one free sermon
One recording, five reels, watermarked, no card. It is the honest way to find out whether this works on your footage.
QUESTIONS FROM CHURCH MEDIA TEAMS
Worth asking
before you start.
Anything else, the support page covers more.
Can we keep our own editing for the big moments?+
Yes. Nothing stops you cutting a reel by hand. Most teams use this for the weekly five and keep their own work for the series launch.
Can several people work in the same account?+
Yes. Invite teammates from settings and give them the owner, admin, editor or viewer role.
Do we have to connect the YouTube channel?+
Not to make reels. You only connect a channel when you want posting, and that connection is separate from reading your recordings.
