# AI Sermon Video Generator

Type your sermon’s passage, big idea and key points, and get a new narrated short from them — a calm scene for every point, captions on every word — to carry Sunday’s message into the week.

Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/ai-sermon-video-generator
Search intent: A pastor, church communications volunteer or devotional writer in the US who wants a short video of this week’s sermon or devotional for YouTube Shorts, Reels or TikTok — made from the sermon’s text or key points when there is no recording to clip, or when the message has to fit in under a minute.

## What it produces

- 5 to 8 scenes, each with one spoken line and one generated frame
- A minute by default; 30, 60, 90 or 180 seconds are selectable in the composer (paid plans to 180s). Scene length comes from the narration's true duration
- ElevenLabs voiceover: 5 voices, narrating in any of 29 languages
- Word-timed captions burned in from the voice model's own character alignment
- A licensed music bed, ducked under the narration, loudness-normalised master
- 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, 1080-class, no watermark on any plan

## Preset applied on this page

- Source type: prompt
- Voice: rachel
- Captions: highlight
- Music: uplifting
- Visual style: cinematic
- Aspect ratio: 9:16

## The brief this page adds, verbatim

This string is prepended to whatever the visitor types before the scriptwriter
sees it — in the script preview on this page, in the video you generate after
clicking through to the composer, and in the API when you send
`preset: "ai-sermon-video-generator"`. It is the only difference between this page and
the others.

> Write a short narrated video from a sermon, told by one narrator. Use only what the user typed — the passage, the big idea, the key points and any next step — in the user’s order: open on the big idea as a question or a line that stops the scroll, give the passage reference, then one key point per scene, and close on one way to carry the message into the week, and on the next step the user names, such as a service time or a small group, if they name one. Do not add a point, story, illustration, statistic, quotation or doctrinal claim the user did not give; do not claim to speak for God, promise a result or make a prediction; and keep it suitable for any Christian denomination unless the user says otherwise. Quote scripture only word for word: as the user typed it, or from the King James Version or the World English Bible, both public domain, and never paraphrase inside a quotation. Write it as a narrator retelling the message, not as the preacher speaking in the first person, and never present it as a recording of the sermon. Each scene describes one calm cinematic frame that sits under the point — a road at dawn, a table set for a meal, a field after rain, a lit window, an empty chair — with no real person, pastor or celebrity and no one’s likeness, God and Jesus not shown as a figure, no text, verse numbers or legible writing in the frame, and every mouth closed or hidden, so no character is shown speaking.

## Example inputs from the page

- Sunday’s sermon on Luke 15:11–32, the prodigal son. Big idea: the father runs first. Points: the son leaves, the son comes to himself, the father runs, the older brother stays outside
- Key points from my message on Philippians 4:6–7: worry is a signal to pray, thanksgiving changes the prayer, peace guards the heart. End with an invite to Wednesday night small groups
- A short devotional from this week’s sermon on Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God,” for our church’s Monday morning post

## Getting started

Pick a plan at /pricing and start creating today. The widget on the page runs the
real scriptwriter with this preset and returns the script, the per-scene image
prompts and the estimated runtime. Rendering the visuals, voiceover and final
file spends credits.

## How it works

1. **Type the passage and the points** — The text, the big idea and the key points in the order you preached them. Add a next step if you want one at the end.
2. **Read it as the preacher would** — The script comes back one point per scene before anything renders. Check every quoted word and change any line first.
3. **Post it on Monday** — A vertical short for YouTube Shorts, Reels and TikTok, published from the app, or downloaded as a 1080p MP4.

## What an AI sermon video from Veedio actually is

What this makes is a new narrated video from your sermon’s text or key points — not clips cut from a recording of it. You type the passage, the big idea and the points, and it writes a short script from them: a calm generated scene for every point, one AI narrator reading it and captions on every word. Nothing from the service is used, and the preacher is not seen or heard. The page starts on the composer’s Cinematic look, vertical, with a warm, conversational narrator, a bright music bed and Highlight captions that light each word as it is read.

This is not a sermon clipping tool: it does not take your livestream or recording, find the best moments and cut them into captioned vertical clips. If you want your pastor’s own voice and face from Sunday, a clipping tool is the right one and this is the wrong one. No video or audio can be uploaded: every scene and every voice track is generated. If you already have footage and want a voice laid over it, this is the wrong tool, and we would rather say so before you pay. What it is for instead: the week there is no recording, the message that has to fit in under a minute, or a devotional that carries Sunday’s text into Monday.

## Your passage and your points, in your order

The script keeps to what you typed: your passage, your big idea and your points, in your order. The brief tells it to add no point, story, illustration, statistic, quotation or doctrinal claim you did not give it, not to claim to speak for God, and to stay suitable for any Christian denomination unless you say otherwise. A language model can still get something wrong, so whoever preached it should read the script before it renders: it comes back for review first, and any line can be changed. The box on this page is for the outline — the passage, the big idea and three or four points — not the whole manuscript; a sermon outline is also what fits in a short.

Scripture is quoted word for word from a public-domain translation — the King James Version or the World English Bible — or, if you type the verse yourself, exactly as you typed it, so you can use the translation your church reads. Nothing is paraphrased inside the quotation. Check the reference and the wording against your Bible before you post: the script comes back for review before anything renders. For a single verse read aloud with a short reflection, the AI Bible verse video generator is the closer fit; for a children’s retelling of the passage, the Bible story video generator.

## Calm scenes under the words, and one voice reading them

The pictures are generated scenes that sit under each point — a road at dawn, a table set for a meal, a field after rain, a lit window — not footage of your church, your people or your pastor. No real person is drawn, God and Jesus are not shown as a figure, and the frames carry no lettering; the captions carry every word. Each scene is one generated frame made from its own line of the script, so the video is a sequence of independent pictures joined by cuts, not one continuous filmed shot. On a paid plan each frame is set in motion by the video model with a few seconds of AI motion (68 credits for a five-scene video), or choose Stills in the composer and the same video is 13 credits, as pictures with a slow pan.

It is never your pastor’s voice or face. One of the composer’s 5 AI voices reads the script — the page starts on a warm, conversational narrator — and there is no voice cloning. The script is written as a narrator retelling the message, not as the preacher speaking in the first person, so it is never presented as a recording of the sermon. Every video is made on a plan: Mini is $7 a month, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee.

## Who it is for

- **Pastors** — Sunday’s message as a short to post on Monday, made from the outline you already wrote, so the congregation carries one point into the week.
- **Church communications volunteers** — A weekly sermon short for the church’s Shorts, Reels and TikTok without scrubbing a livestream, made by one person in one sitting.
- **Devotional writers** — A daily or weekly devotional read aloud over calm scenes, from the text and the thought you already wrote down.
- **Small group leaders** — The week’s sermon points as a short to open the group, or to send to the group chat before you meet.

## Compared with making it the usual way

| | The usual way | With Veedio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input | A recording of the service, scrubbed for the one moment worth posting. | The passage, the big idea and the key points, typed. |
| Visuals | The camera angle you had on Sunday, or stock footage searched for each point. | A calm cinematic scene generated for every point, in one look. |
| Voiceover | The preacher’s own audio, with the room’s echo and the cough in the middle. | One warm, conversational narrator by default, 5 voices to choose from. |
| Captions | Typed in by hand and timed word by word, every week. | Every word captioned in time with the voice, each word lit as it is read. |
| Turnaround | An evening of cutting and captioning for every sermon. | The script in moments and the video right after it. |
| Changing it | A different point means finding a different moment in the recording. | Change the point in the script and render the video again. |

## FAQ

### What kind of sermon video does it make?

What this makes is a new narrated video from your sermon’s text or key points — not clips cut from a recording of it. You type the passage, the big idea and the points, and it writes a short script from them: a calm generated scene for every point, one AI narrator reading it and captions on every word. Nothing from the service is used, and the preacher is not seen or heard.

### Can it cut clips from our sermon recording or livestream?

No. This is not a sermon clipping tool: it does not take your livestream or recording, find the best moments and cut them into captioned vertical clips. If you want your pastor’s own voice and face from Sunday, a clipping tool is the right one and this is the wrong one. No video or audio can be uploaded: every scene and every voice track is generated. If you already have footage and want a voice laid over it, this is the wrong tool, and we would rather say so before you pay.

### Does it use the pastor’s voice or face?

No. It is never your pastor’s voice or face. One of the composer’s 5 AI voices reads the script — the page starts on a warm, conversational narrator — and there is no voice cloning. The script is written as a narrator retelling the message, not as the preacher speaking in the first person, so it is never presented as a recording of the sermon.

### Will it stay faithful to what was preached?

The script keeps to what you typed: your passage, your big idea and your points, in your order. The brief tells it to add no point, story, illustration, statistic, quotation or doctrinal claim you did not give it, not to claim to speak for God, and to stay suitable for any Christian denomination unless you say otherwise. A language model can still get something wrong, so whoever preached it should read the script before it renders: it comes back for review first, and any line can be changed.

### Which Bible translation does it quote?

Scripture is quoted word for word from a public-domain translation — the King James Version or the World English Bible — or, if you type the verse yourself, exactly as you typed it, so you can use the translation your church reads. Nothing is paraphrased inside the quotation. Check the reference and the wording against your Bible before you post: the script comes back for review before anything renders.

### What is on screen, and do the pictures move?

The pictures are generated scenes that sit under each point — a road at dawn, a table set for a meal, a field after rain, a lit window — not footage of your church, your people or your pastor. No real person is drawn, God and Jesus are not shown as a figure, and the frames carry no lettering; the captions carry every word. Each scene is one generated frame made from its own line of the script, so the video is a sequence of independent pictures joined by cuts, not one continuous filmed shot. On a paid plan each frame is set in motion by the video model with a few seconds of AI motion (68 credits for a five-scene video), or choose Stills in the composer and the same video is 13 credits, as pictures with a slow pan. Nothing on screen talks: there are no moving mouths and no lip sync. One narrator voice tells the whole video, dialogue included, and the captions carry the words.

### Can I post it straight to YouTube Shorts, Reels and TikTok?

Yes. The page starts vertical (9:16). Connect TikTok, Instagram and YouTube once and publish to TikTok, Reels and Shorts from the app, on every plan. Mini connects 1 account, Starter 3, Pro 6 and Studio 25. There are 5 voices, all recorded in American English. There is no British, Irish or Australian voice and no voice cloning. The narration and captions can be in any of 29 languages — French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Polish among them — chosen in the composer; the voices read them, but a native listener may hear the American accent, so listen to the first one before you post a series.

### What does it cost, and how long can a video be?

Plans are monthly: Mini $7 (200 credits), Starter $19 (600 credits), Pro $49 (2,000 credits), Studio $149 (7,500 credits). A five-scene short in pictures costs 13 credits; with AI motion in every scene it costs 68. You see the price before you generate, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Starter ($19 a month, 600 credits) covers about 46 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 8 with AI motion in every scene. Every paid plan makes videos of 30 seconds, one minute, 90 seconds or three minutes; a longer video has more scenes and costs more credits, and you see the price before you generate. You own the videos on every plan and can use them commercially, paid ads included. There is no watermark on any plan, the export is 1080p, and the music beds are licensed for commercial use with no attribution.

### Do I have to sign up to try this?

Yes, and pick a plan: Mini is $7 a month, and the first payment has a 7-day money-back guarantee. On a plan, the box at the top writes the script and the shot list for no credits — that is the part that decides whether the video is worth making.

### Do I own the videos, and is there a watermark?

You own them, on every plan, and there is no watermark on any plan, no resolution cap and no platform withheld. Four things do follow the plan, because they are what a video costs to make: AI motion and sound effects need Starter, and a presenter avatar and the choice of video model need Pro. Everything else — every voice, every language, every caption style, every aspect ratio — is the same on all of them.
