# Sunday School Video Maker

This week’s Sunday school lesson as a short video — the big idea, the story, the memory verse and a question for the class — for kids’ church, small groups and VBS.

Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/sunday-school-video-maker
Search intent: A Sunday school teacher, kids’ church leader or VBS director in the US who preps a lesson every week and wants a short video to open it, built around their own passage and verse.

## 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: bella
- Captions: bold-center
- Music: uplifting
- Visual style: clay
- 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: "sunday-school-video-maker"`. It is the only difference between this page and
the others.

> Write a short Sunday school lesson video for a children’s class. Introduce the lesson’s big idea in one sentence, tell the story from the passage the user names in order and in simple language for the age group given, read the memory verse exactly as the user typed it, and close with one discussion question the teacher can ask the class. Keep to what the passage says — no added events or characters — quote scripture only as the user typed it, stay suitable for any Christian denomination unless told otherwise, and never preach at the child.

## Example inputs from the page

- The Good Samaritan, Luke 10:25–37, for 3rd to 5th grade — memory verse: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
- Zacchaeus, Luke 19:1–10, for preschool: Jesus sees him in the tree and goes to his house
- Day 2 of VBS, our theme is courage: Esther goes to the king, Esther 4–5

## 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 lesson** — The passage, the age group and the memory verse in your translation.
2. **Check it against the text** — The script comes back before anything renders, so you can read it with your Bible open.
3. **Open the lesson with it** — Landscape for the classroom TV, captioned so readers can say the verse along with it.

## The first five minutes of the lesson, ready every week

Every Sunday school lesson needs the same opening: the big idea, the story, the verse the class is learning. Curriculum publishers sell videos for their own lessons, but the class in front of you is often on a different passage, a different age group or a lesson you wrote yourself — and the volunteer teaching it found out on Thursday.

This makes the opening for your lesson rather than someone else’s. Type the passage, the age group and the memory verse, and it builds a short video around them: one sentence for the big idea, the story told in order, the verse read as you typed it, and a discussion question to get the class talking.

## Your passage, your translation, your verse

The brief keeps to the passage you name and does not add events, characters or dialogue that are not in the text. It quotes scripture only as you typed it, so the memory verse is in your church’s translation, word for word, and the captions put it on screen so the class can read it together.

It stays suitable for any Christian denomination unless you tell it otherwise, and it does not preach at the children — the discussion question is there so the teaching comes from you. Use your own lessons or material you have the rights to; it writes a fresh retelling, and it is not a way to copy a publisher’s curriculum.

## Clay-style pictures, for Sunday school and VBS

The default look is a soft clay style — rounded figures, warm light, a handmade feel — which suits younger classes and reads well on the TV at the front of the room. Each line becomes one picture, and because every frame is generated on its own, a character will not look identical from one scene to the next.

For VBS, keep the look and the voice fixed for the week and make one video a day around that day’s theme and story, so the five days feel like one program. 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.

## Who it is for

- **Volunteer Sunday school teachers** — This week’s lesson opening, made in minutes the night before.
- **Kids’ church leaders** — A short video to gather the room before the lesson starts.
- **VBS directors** — One video a day in one look, built around the week’s theme.
- **Small-group and midweek leaders** — Lessons for any passage, not only the ones the curriculum happens to cover.

## Compared with making it the usual way

| | The usual way | With Veedio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input | A lesson plan, a search for a video that matches it, and a compromise. | Your passage, age group and memory verse, typed once. |
| Visuals | A video made for somebody else’s lesson. | A clay-style picture for every line of your lesson. |
| Voiceover | Book a VO artist, or record yourself and cut the breaths out. | Five ElevenLabs voices, re-recorded free whenever the line changes. |
| Captions | A memory verse said once and gone. | The memory verse on screen, timed to the voice, for the class to read along. |
| Turnaround | Saturday night, by whoever is teaching on Sunday. | Minutes, and checked against your Bible before it renders. |
| 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

### Will it use our translation for the memory verse?

Yes, if you type it. It quotes scripture only as you typed it, word for word, and the captions show the verse on screen.

### Will it stay faithful to the passage?

The brief tells it to follow the passage you name, in order, and not to add events, characters or dialogue. The script comes back before anything renders, so you can check it against your Bible.

### Can I use it with our curriculum?

Use it for your own lessons, or with material you have the rights to use. It writes a fresh retelling from the passage you name; it does not reproduce a publisher’s lesson, characters or theme artwork.

### Is it suitable for preschoolers?

Yes. Tell it the age group and it pitches the language there, with short sentences and gentle retellings for the youngest classes.

### What does a year of lessons cost?

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 be in Spanish?

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

### Can it make our church announcements too?

Yes, from the church video maker, which is set up for announcements, sermon series and events. This page is set up for lessons.

### 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.
