# Church Video Maker

Announcements, sermon-series promos, event invites and volunteer calls for churches and ministries — made in minutes by a volunteer.

Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/church-video-maker
Search intent: A US church communications lead or volunteer who needs weekly announcement and event videos for social and the Sunday screens.

## 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: bold-center
- Music: uplifting
- Visual style: cinematic
- Aspect ratio: 16:9

## The brief this page adds, verbatim

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

> Write a short church announcement or promo video. Open warmly with the invitation or the need, give the details — what, when, where — exactly as the user wrote them, and close with a simple next step. Keep a welcoming tone for people who have never attended. Quote scripture only if the user typed the verse, and never invent dates, speakers or details.

## Example inputs from the page

- New sermon series starting Sunday, March 2: “Rest”, five weeks on Sabbath in a busy life
- Fall festival on the church lawn, Saturday October 18, 2–6pm — chili cook-off, hayrides, everyone welcome
- We need four more volunteers for the 9am kids’ ministry team — training after service on Sunday

## Free with an account

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. That needs a free
account — it takes a moment and no card — and costs no credits. Rendering the
visuals, voiceover and final file does spend credits.

## How it works

1. **Type the announcement** — A series, an event or a volunteer need, with the dates and times.
2. **A warm, clear script** — What, when and where, welcoming to someone who has never attended.
3. **Screens and social** — 16:9 for Sunday screens by default; switch to 9:16 for Reels and TikTok.

## Weekly announcements, without a media team

Most churches have more to announce than people to make the videos: the new series, the fall festival, the volunteer need, the holiday service times. Communications usually falls to one staff member or a volunteer on a weeknight. This turns each announcement into a narrated, captioned video in minutes.

It defaults to 16:9 for the screens in the sanctuary and on the livestream, and the composer switches the same announcement to 9:16 for Instagram, Facebook Reels and TikTok, so one sentence covers Sunday morning and the week’s social posts.

## Details exactly as you wrote them

The brief uses your dates, times and places exactly as typed and never invents speakers or details. It quotes scripture only when you typed the verse, so the wording is the translation you chose rather than one a model half-remembered.

Every scene is generated, so it does not show your building or congregation, and nobody appears without consent. One photo of your church can be the opening frame, added in the composer.

## Posting every week, priced per month

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.

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. Mini ($7 a month, 200 credits) covers about 15 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 2 with AI motion in every scene.

## Who it is for

- **Church communications staff** — The week’s announcements in minutes rather than an evening.
- **Volunteer media teams** — Sunday-screen videos without editing skills.
- **Youth and kids’ ministries** — Event invites and volunteer calls in a format students actually watch.
- **Multi-site churches** — One account per campus, with up to 25 connected accounts on Studio.

## Compared with making it the usual way

| | The usual way | With Veedio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input | A volunteer with an editing app and a free evening. | One announcement, with its dates and times, typed in a box. |
| Visuals | Stock backgrounds and slides with text on them. | Generated scenes per line, narrated and captioned. |
| Voiceover | Book a VO artist, or record yourself and cut the breaths out. | Five ElevenLabs voices, re-recorded free whenever the line changes. |
| Captions | Auto-captions that drift, then an hour nudging keyframes. | Burned in from the voice model’s own word alignment, so they land on the syllable. |
| Turnaround | Finished Saturday night, if at all. | Minutes, in the shape the screens and the feed each need. |
| Changing it | Re-record the line, re-cut the timeline, re-export, re-upload. | Edit the line and only its voice is re-recorded, free. A new still is free too; a new motion clip is free once per video. |

## FAQ

### Can it make videos for the screens in our sanctuary?

Yes. 16:9 is the default here, which suits projector and TV screens and livestreams. Download the 1080p file and play it from your presentation software.

### Can it make sermon recap videos?

From your notes, yes: type the main points and it writes a short recap. It cannot take the sermon recording — audio and video cannot be uploaded.

### Will it quote scripture correctly?

It is told to quote scripture only if you typed the verse, so type it in the translation you use.

### Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. Your first video is free: 30 seconds in pictures, with voice, music and captions. No card. AI motion, videos longer than 30 seconds and sound effects need a plan, from $7 a month.

### What does it cost for a church?

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. Mini ($7 a month, 200 credits) covers about 15 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 2 with AI motion in every scene.

### Can it post to our social accounts?

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.

### Can it be in Spanish?

Yes. The narration and captions can be in any of 29 languages, Spanish included, chosen in the composer.

### Do we own the videos?

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, a free one. Signup takes a moment and needs no card. Once you are signed in, 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.

### What does it cost?

Starter is $19 a month for 600 credits, Pro $49, Studio $149. A credit is a unit of pipeline cost rather than a video, so a five-scene short costs less than a nine-scene one, and you see the estimate before you spend anything.

### 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.
