Turn every sermon into a week of short clips

Most churches already record the message. ClipBolt turns that one recording into captioned clips your media team or a volunteer can post all week, without editing software.

A simple weekly routine

  1. Sunday afternoon: upload the sermon recording (MP4 or MOV from your camera, livestream download or Facebook Live link).
  2. A few minutes later: ClipBolt transcribes the message, picks the moments that stand alone, such as a story, a key verse or a clear point, and cuts vertical clips with captions.
  3. Monday to Saturday: post one clip a day to Shorts, Reels, TikTok or your Facebook page. Each clip has a suggested title and a 1–100 score, so start with the highest.

Why captions matter for sermon clips

Most people scroll Shorts and Reels with the sound off. Burned-in, word-by-word captions keep them reading, and they make the message accessible to members who are deaf or hard of hearing.

What it costs a church

  • Free: 30 free processing minutes a month (uploads count half, so up to 60 minutes of uploaded video), videos up to 20 minutes, 720p with a small watermark. Enough to try it on one sermon.
  • Most churches: a 40-minute sermon uploaded weekly uses about 80 minutes a month, which fits Creator at $9.50/month (150 minutes, no watermark, 1080p).
  • Two services or a midweek study: Pro at $19.50/month covers 500 minutes and recordings up to 3 hours.

Tips from the pipeline

  • Upload the cleanest audio you have (a board mix beats a camera mic). Transcription quality drives clip quality.
  • Choose the video language before you start; English and Spanish services both work.
  • Only post music you have the rights to stream. Worship songs in the background can trigger copyright claims on Shorts and Reels.

FAQ

Can ClipBolt clip a livestreamed service?

Yes. Download the recording from your streaming platform and upload it, or paste a Facebook video link. YouTube links work on paid plans; on the free plan, download from YouTube Studio and upload.

How long can the sermon be?

Up to 20 minutes on the free plan, 60 minutes on Creator, 3 hours on Pro.

Will it pick good moments from a sermon?

It looks for passages that make sense on their own, like a complete story or point, and scores each clip so you can review the best ones first. Always watch a clip before posting.

Does it work for Spanish-language services?

Yes. Pick Spanish as the video language and the captions and titles come out in Spanish.
