“The word of God is not bound.” · 2 Timothy 2:9
The Word of God has power. Sermon Studio helps churches carry the preached Word beyond Sunday. A week's worth of content, ready before Monday morning staff meeting.
Sermon Studio builds precisely timed captions directly from the sermon transcript. Choose a look, adjust line breaks, placement, type, emphasis, and punctuation, then preview every change immediately. You get polished vertical video without hand-typing captions or rebuilding them in a general-purpose editor.
Save your own custom caption look-and-feel presets.On-device vision follows the preacher and keeps the speaker framed inside the vertical crop. Sermon Studio turns a wide sanctuary recording into a social-ready 9:16 composition without keyframing every move. Powered by Apple silicon, tracking runs locally while the sermon video stays on your Mac.
Sermon Studio analyzes the whole sermon and surfaces its strongest, most self-contained moments automatically. Instead of scrubbing through an hour-long recording, you open a ready-to-review set of clips with the original context intact. Fine-tune any cut—or export the whole week in minutes.

THE SPURGEON PRINCIPLE
Stand back, and open the door, and let the lion out!Charles H. Spurgeon · Christ and His Co-Workers, 1886
The theology beneath the tool
Sermon Studio begins where Sunday's preaching leaves off. It helps ministry teams steward what was preached—removing mechanical friction, preserving the preacher's meaning, and helping God's Word travel farther.
01Faithful to the source.The preached sermon grounds every clip, recap, and ministry resource.
02Built to multiply ministry.One sermon becomes shorts, recaps, guides, and resources for the whole church week.
03Ready while the message is fresh.Move from Sunday's preaching to useful ministry resources before Monday's workday begins.
“The word of God is not bound.”
Sermon Studio does not give the Word power. It removes tedious and time-consuming barriers to help it go forth clearly and quickly.
Built around two priorities
Sermon Studio is a focused workflow designed to move from sermon to finished shorts faster—with less digging, less scrolling, and less time fighting a confusing, bloated app that was designed for Hollywood production, not ministry impact.
From ingest to export
Sermon Studio quickly surfaces the strongest moments of your preaching, so there is no digging through the whole sermon. And because your sermon stays on your Mac, there is no waiting hours for a massive video file to upload to a third-party website.
Only what the job requires
Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve are exceptional tools for complex productions. Sermon shorts are not complex productions. Sermon Studio strips away the bloat and puts the tools this job needs front and center.
There is no point three. Speed and simplicity. That's it.

No. Sermon Studio prepares and exports the media and documents instantly to your Mac. You publish those finished files through your church’s existing channels.
Why I built Sermon Studio
Your sermon is too good to die on Monday.
We all know the Word of God is powerful. Your congregation needs to be reminded throughout the week of how God spoke to them through his Word.
But God did not call you to edit videos. He called you to feed his sheep.
I was unsatisfied with the tools and workflows available—and with how much time I was wasting fighting software that was never designed for this job. So I started building the tool I needed: a faster, simpler way to turn Sunday's sermon into a week's worth of content to feed our congregation.
It really helped me, so I thought maybe it could help you too.
Start with a 14-day free trial, then choose monthly or annual billing. The first 100 subscriptions receive the Early Adopter first-year price.
