THE WHOLE PIPELINE, IN PLAIN ENGLISH.

From Sunday’s recording to five moments worth sharing.

You paste one link. Everything after that happens without you, until the part where you decide what is good enough to share.

  1. STEP 1

    Bring the recording

    Paste the link to Sunday’s sermon on your channel, or upload the file you already have. No new camera, no new routine.

  2. STEP 2

    We listen to the whole thing

    The sermon is transcribed with a timestamp on every word, and the audio is read for pauses, pace and the room’s response. Worship music is separated out so it is never mistaken for the sermon.

  3. STEP 3

    Five moments are chosen

    The transcript and those audio signals are read together to pick five windows of roughly 25 to 40 seconds, each with a hook line, one word to emphasise, and the scripture reference if it was spoken.

  4. STEP 4

    Each moment is made vertical

    The frame follows the speaker rather than the front row, cuts land on phrase boundaries instead of mid sentence, and word timed captions are burned in at 1080 by 1920. The voice is cleaned and levels are balanced for phone speakers.

  5. STEP 5

    You have the final say

    Watch the five reels, correct any word the transcript misheard, approve what you are happy with and leave the rest. Nothing is posted without you.

  6. STEP 6

    Download or schedule

    Download the MP4, the captions file and the cover image. On Publish, approved reels can be scheduled to YouTube Shorts across the week, with titles, descriptions and hashtags prepared for you.

How long it takes. A 30 minute sermon takes about 28 minutes of machine time today, and the queue is busiest on Sunday night. Plan on your reels being ready within the hour rather than while you wait.

THE SIX LOOKS.

The same message.
Six ways to read it.

Four looks are rendered by the engine today and two are still explorations. Bold is the default on every plan.

Bold

In the engine

Heavy type, one spoken word highlighted at a time, the power word slammed on the beat. The default on every plan.

Every plan

Editorial

In the engine

Lighter weight, sentence case, more air around the line. It suits teaching passages and long thoughts.

Publish and Studio

Cinematic

In the engine

Centred small caps with a rule under the emphasis. Quieter on screen, good for a reflective close.

Publish and Studio

Minimal

In the engine

Two or three words at a time, no highlight block, nothing competing with the speaker.

Typography that moves with the delivery. It is an exploration, not part of the base offer yet.

THE PART PEOPLE ASK ABOUT.

How the five moments
are actually chosen.

Volume alone picks the shouting. The transcript is what makes a quiet invitation selectable.

What the transcript contributes

Rhetorical questions, repeated phrases, direct address, and the sentences where a thought completes. Cuts land on phrase boundaries, so a reel does not start mid clause.

What the audio contributes

Pace, pitch range, the length of a pause, and the room responding. Music is classified first so worship is never mistaken for applause, and the worship block is excluded from the sermon range.

What comes back with each moment

A window of roughly 25 to 40 seconds, a hook line, one word to emphasise with its timestamp, and the scripture reference if it was spoken aloud.

What happens when it misses

You say what you were looking for and a different set is chosen. Approved and downloaded reels from the earlier set are kept.

What makes a recording work well. Clear speech, a visible speaker and a steady camera. A broadcast layout with lower thirds, a split screen with slides, or muddy audio will affect the result, and we would rather tell you that up front than after your first sermon.
