OpenClear ownership
A small team can run a strong workflow
Separate automation, editorial judgment, and publishing approval so volunteers know exactly what they own.
Reviewer
Checks each candidate against the sermon, corrects names and verses, and rejects clips that lose context.
Publisher
Applies final copy, attribution, source links, thumbnails, and platform scheduling after approval.
The Sunday-to-Friday rhythm
One source. One review queue. Five intentional posts.
A repeatable sequence reduces last-minute requests without requiring a full-time video editor.
- Sunday: archive the final sermon recording and rights note.
- Monday: upload the recording and review the proposed clip.
- Tuesday: edit captions, framing, and scripture references.
- Wednesday: approve final files and platform copy.
- Thursday–Friday: publish, reply, and record useful learning.

Church workflow questions
Practical answers for church communicators, editors, and ministry leaders.
Can volunteers use the Clip Studio?
Yes. It runs in the browser without an account in this build. A producer should still decide who approves source rights and final theological context.
How many people does the workflow require?
One person can hold all three roles, but even a two-person handoff creates useful accountability: one person prepares the edit and another approves context before publishing.
Does ClipMinistry publish directly to social platforms?
No. The pipeline delivers a captioned 9:16 MP4 for review and download. Accounts, project storage, scheduling, and direct publishing are not built; a person posts every clip.
