AI Video Clipper for Churches

Turn your church's recordings into short clips that reach people.

LumiClip is an AI video clipper for churches. Upload any recording — a full service, a worship night, a youth event, a testimony — or paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, and the AI pulls the strongest moments, reframes them to vertical, and adds captions for YouTube Shorts, Reels, TikTok, and Facebook. You review and export.

The problem this page solves

Your church records far more than it ever posts.

A church produces hours of video every week — the Sunday service, worship sets, testimonies and baptisms, youth and kids ministry, midweek studies, conferences, and special services at Christmas and Easter. Almost all of it is recorded horizontally and, once the livestream ends, it mostly reaches the people who were already there. The short, self-contained moments that could reach someone new stay buried inside long files nobody re-watches.

An AI video clipper for churches cuts those moments out and formats them for the places people actually scroll. LumiClip transcribes any church recording, finds the segments worth sharing, reframes them to vertical 9:16, and burns in accurate captions. One recording usually produces several short clips — enough to keep your church's social feeds active through the week without editing anything by hand. For clipping the preaching specifically, LumiClip also has a dedicated sermon clip maker.

How it works

From a long church recording to shareable clips in three steps

No video editing and no experience needed. A media-team volunteer can produce a week of clips in a few minutes.

  1. 1. Add your church recording

    Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link to your livestream or uploaded video, or upload an MP4 from ProPresenter, OBS, Zoom, or a camera. Horizontal recordings are fine — LumiClip reframes them to vertical.

  2. 2. AI transcribes and finds the moments worth sharing

    LumiClip transcribes the recording and identifies self-contained moments — a key point, a story, a scripture, a testimony, a worship moment — the parts that make sense to someone who was not there.

  3. 3. Review, caption, and export

    Preview each suggested clip, adjust the start and end, confirm the captions, and export. Download the vertical files or post them to YouTube Shorts, Instagram and Facebook Reels, and TikTok.

What the tool does

Built for the way churches record and publish video

Every feature exists to get a moment from a long church recording to a short clip a first-time viewer will finish.

Clip any church recording, not just sermons

Services, worship nights, testimonies, youth and kids ministry, conferences, and special events — anything your church records can become short clips. The AI finds self-contained moments in each one.

Horizontal to vertical (9:16) reframing

Church cameras record wide. LumiClip converts each clip to vertical and keeps the subject centered, so a stage-wide shot becomes a clip that fills a phone screen on Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.

Accurate captions for church vocabulary

Captions are generated automatically and handle book and chapter names, theological terms, and proper nouns. You can correct any word before export — and since most people watch on mute, captions are what carry the message.

Works with YouTube, Vimeo, and file uploads

Paste a link to your existing livestream or upload the raw file from ProPresenter, OBS, Zoom, or a camera. You do not need to download your own video first.

Several clips from one recording

A single service or event usually yields several usable clips — enough short-form content to post across the week, all from one recording your church already made.

Add your church name and branding

Put your church name, logo, series title, or a scripture reference on each clip so viewers know the source and where to find the full video. Consistent branding builds recognition over time.

Why churches clip their videos

Reach more people, save your team hours, post consistently

Clipping church videos is not about chasing views. It is the most direct way to get your ministry in front of people who will never open a full-length recording.

Reach
Meet people where they scroll

Short vertical clips are what get distributed on Shorts, Reels, and TikTok. A 30-second clip reaches far more people than the full-length service or event upload.

Time
Free up your media team

Manually cutting and captioning clips can take a volunteer hours every week. The AI does the first pass, so your team only reviews and approves.

Consistency
A week of content from one recording

One service or event produces enough clips to post through the week. Consistent posting is what grows a church's online presence, and it no longer depends on someone finding time to edit.

What churches clip

Every kind of church video worth sharing

Service highlights

The clearest point, a memorable illustration, or a scripture explained well — the moments from a Sunday service that stand on their own and invite someone to watch the full recording.

Worship moments

Pull a moment of worship or a specific song section into a clip that gives people a feel for a gathering at your church.

Testimonies and baptisms

Turn a testimony or baptism into a shareable clip, with the person's story captioned and framed for vertical feeds — some of the most shared church content there is.

Youth and kids ministry

Clip highlights from youth nights, kids programs, and camps to share with parents and to show families what ministry looks like at your church.

Special services and events

Christmas and Easter services, conferences, baptism Sundays, and worship nights — clip the highlights while the moment is still fresh and post them the same week.

Missions and outreach

Cut clips from mission trip recaps, outreach events, and community moments to keep your congregation connected to what the church is doing beyond Sunday.

Church video to shorts: common questions

Start with a full recording — a service, event, or worship night — and use a tool that finds the strongest self-contained moments, reframes them to vertical 9:16, and adds captions. LumiClip does all three automatically: you upload the recording or paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, review the clips the AI suggests, and export them for YouTube Shorts, Reels, TikTok, and Facebook.
Yes. LumiClip clips any part of a church recording — worship, testimonies, announcements, baptisms, and the message. It works on services, youth nights, conferences, and special events. If you only want to clip the preaching, LumiClip also has a dedicated sermon clip maker focused on that.
Anything your church records: Sunday services, worship nights, youth and kids ministry, midweek studies, conferences, testimonies, baptisms, and special services. If it is a video file or a YouTube or Vimeo link, LumiClip can clip it.
Yes. LumiClip reframes horizontal recordings to vertical 9:16 and keeps the subject centered, so a wide stage shot becomes a clip that fills a phone screen. This is a main reason churches use a clip maker instead of posting the raw horizontal file.
Yes. Captions are generated automatically from the audio and shown on each clip. You can correct any word — including book and chapter names, theological terms, and proper nouns — before export. Captions matter because most people watch short-form video with the sound off.
The clips are vertical 9:16 videos suitable for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and TikTok. You can download the files to upload manually or post them wherever your church has an audience.
It depends on how many self-contained moments the recording contains, but a full service typically produces several usable clips — generally enough to post short-form content several times across the week from one recording.
Yes. Paste the YouTube or Vimeo link to your recorded livestream or uploaded video and LumiClip pulls the video directly. You do not need to download your own video first. You can also upload an MP4 if you prefer.
LumiClip accepts standard MP4 exports and links from YouTube and Vimeo, which covers recordings from ProPresenter, OBS, Zoom, and most cameras and switchers churches use for livestreaming.
Clips cut from the spoken portions of a service usually contain only speech. If a clip includes worship music, licensing for that music is governed by your church's own agreements, the same as for your full livestream — LumiClip does not grant any music rights. Many churches keep shareable clips to spoken moments to avoid this question.
No. The workflow is add a recording, review the clips the AI suggests, confirm the captions, and export. There is no timeline to edit and no software to learn, so a media-team volunteer can produce a week of clips in a few minutes.
Your uploaded recordings and generated clips are private to your workspace. You control what gets exported and shared, source files can be deleted at any time, and recordings are not used to train public models.
