How to turn a sermon into clips with reap

Clipping a sermon by hand means rewatching the whole service. With reap, the recording goes in and your team reviews the sermon clips that come back.

Clipping by hand

  1. Service ends, recording sits there
  2. Find and pull the file
  3. Rewatch the message to place moments
  4. Cut, caption, and restyle each clip
  5. Re-crop and re-export per format
  6. Post them one at a time

With reap

  1. Service ends, recording goes in
  2. Upload, or paste the link
  3. Review the moments it comes back with
  4. Set the boundaries and check the context
  5. Church template and formats applied
  6. Export or schedule the approved set

One message, many moments

Sermon clips from every part of the message.

Most of what a church records is teaching, and teaching holds up in pieces: the main point, the passage explained, the story, the application.

Explore AI video clipping

Your call, every time

A church video editor for the final cut.

Every suggested clip opens beside its transcript, so your team trims by selecting words and checks the context around it.

  • Move the in and out points until the clip starts on the right word
  • Read the surrounding transcript before deciding where a clip should end
  • Fix a name or a term in the transcript, and the captions follow
  • Restyle, resize, and reposition captions off the part of the frame that matters
  • Add text overlays or B-roll, then preview the clip before it leaves reap

AI sermon clips vs. clipping by hand

reap does not decide what is worth sharing or whether a clip is faithful to the message. It removes the production work that repeats after every service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mostly by starting from the sermon. reap is AI for church media teams: an AI sermon clip generator and church video editing software that finds moments, then captions, translates, and schedules sermon clips. It is not a chatbot, a sermon-writing tool, or church management software, and has no Planning Center or ProPresenter integration, so use tools built for those jobs.

Upload the service recording, or paste a link from YouTube, Twitch, X, or Vimeo, and reap returns sermon video clips to review. On paid plans you can ask for a specific part, like the main point. Paid plans take sources up to 180 minutes; uploads go up to 5 GB on Free and 10 GB on paid plans. reap works from the finished recording and does not capture a livestream.

That stays with your team, and reap gives you the tools for it. Trimming is transcript-based, so you can read what comes just before and after a suggested clip and widen it when a qualification or a scripture reference sits outside. Watch it against the surrounding minute, and have the speaker or a ministry leader approve it before it is published.

No. reap does not verify scripture references, compare Bible translations, fact-check a sermon, interpret doctrine, or understand the intent behind a message. It works from what was said in the recording. Whether an excerpt fairly represents the teaching is a judgment your team makes, and the review step exists so that it can.

Accurate enough to start from, with a review pass. Captions come in 100+ languages, timed word by word, and fully editable; book names, Hebrew and Greek terms, and congregational response are where they slip. Subtitle translation and AI dubbing in 80+ languages are on paid plans. Have a fluent speaker check each version, and check quoted scripture against an approved translation.

Yes. The free plan posts once a day to one connected account; paid plans add the content calendar. reap publishes to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, and LinkedIn on Creator, and adds X on Studio. It posts only what your team schedules. Regular posting is part of social media for church growth, but reap does not promise reach and has no engagement or attendance analytics.

Anything showing people who did not agree to be on social media. Testimonies, footage of minors, prayer ministry, and wide congregational shots need consent settled under your church's own policies and safeguarding procedures first. reap has no consent or release management, so that step is yours. Teaching the speaker has approved for sharing is the safer source.

That depends on rights your church holds, not on reap. Recorded worship, licensed songs, and performance footage carry their own copyright and licensing terms, and reap does not grant, check, or clear any of them. Follow your church's existing licenses and policies, and when a clip's rights are unclear, teaching content you recorded yourself is the safer source.

Your Sunday message can serve the whole week.
