clip studio
Upload the service. Review the moments.
The pipeline transcribes every word, skips the welcome, announcements, worship, and offering, and proposes the strongest complete moments. You pick which ones become captioned vertical clips — nothing publishes without you.

what stays human
Automation for the tedium. People for the message.
Rights first
Jobs start with a permission confirmation, and uploads are processed for your review only. Public availability is not reuse permission.
Complete thoughts only
Clips must end on a finished sentence inside the sermon itself. A strong half-quote from the announcements never makes the cut.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Practical answers for church communicators, editors, and ministry leaders.
What do I upload?
One sermon recording as MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM, up to 100 MB. A transcript is optional: attach an SRT or VTT to skip transcription, or let the pipeline transcribe the audio itself.
How does it avoid clipping announcements or worship?
The service is mapped before anything is scored. Welcome segments, announcements, worship sets, offering appeals, and prayers are labeled and excluded, and the AI's picks are checked against that map — a segment the rules flag can't become a clip even if the model likes it.
How long does it take?
On the reference GPU, a 55-minute sermon takes about 5–6 minutes end to end; a short excerpt takes under half a minute. The studio shows each stage while it runs.
Does AI decide what gets published?
No. The pipeline proposes one reviewed-length moment with captions; a person watches it and decides. ClipMinistry never posts anything on its own.
Whose recordings can I use?
Recordings your church owns or has explicit permission to repurpose. Public availability on YouTube is not reuse permission — every job starts with a rights confirmation.
The sermon is already preached.
Give the people who missed it a complete moment — not a caption-mangled fragment.
