Turn a sermon idea, your notes or a manuscript into video

Sermon to video in a few steps: paste your notes or manuscript and Atlabs turns the key points into animated scenes with one recurring guide and the same illustrations, ready for a recap, a series intro or a midweek share.

Rough Idea

The big idea in a line

Write the main point of the sermon and who it is for. The AI drafts a short script, splits it into scenes with your guide and builds a video you can review and edit before sharing.

A short recap of Sunday's sermon on patience, with a farmer waiting for the harvest and one question to take home.

Most Popular

Your outline or your sermon notes

Paste the outline or the notes you preached from. Atlabs keeps your wording, gives each point its own scene and matches the visuals to the message of the sermon.

Point one: patience is active. Point two: the farmer's story. Point three: waiting together. Question to take home.

Full Script

A finished sermon script

Have a recap script with scene headings and voiceover lines ready? Upload it as it is and Atlabs animates every scene without changing a word, in your own voice or an AI narrator.

SCENE 1. A farmer walks a muddy field at dawn. VO: "Some things grow only when we wait."

How It Works

From sermon to finished video in four simple steps

Paste your idea, outline, or script

Paste a sermon idea, your outline or the full text, and Atlabs breaks it into short scenes, one for each main point.

STEP 1

Choose a visual style & aspect ratio

Choose a warm flat 2D, soft 3D or whiteboard style that suits your church, in 9:16 for stories and reels, 16:9 for your site or 1:1 for your feed.

STEP 2

Lock characters, scenes, & props

Lock your guide character, the illustrations and objects you use, such as a field or a lamp, so every sermon video in your series looks the same.

STEP 3

Generate, refine, and publish

Generate the video, check each scene against what you preached, change any that need it, then share it with your church.

STEP 4

50,000+ creators & teams · No credit card required
One look across your series

Keep the same guide, illustrations and objects across every sermon video in your series

A series feels connected when the visuals do. Atlabs locks your guide character, your settings and your recurring objects, so the recap for week one and the recap for week six look like they belong together.

Character consistency

Create a character once and Atlabs keeps the same face, outfit, colours and style in every scene and every video after it. Your guide becomes a familiar presence from one week to the next.

Scene consistency

Lock a setting and it keeps the same layout, lighting and atmosphere each time it returns, so a location looks the same in every scene and in every video you make.

Object and prop consistency

Logos, icons and key objects look the same in every scene. Upload a photo of a product to lock it, so viewers always recognise exactly what you mean.

Everything a preacher needs to make sermon videos

AI that reads your script like a director

Atlabs reads your sermon text like a director would. It opens on a story or an image, slows down for the main point and closes on the question you want people to take home, choosing shots, lighting and pace for every line.

SCENE — OFFICE, DAY. A founder stares at a messy spreadsheet. VOICEOVER: There had to be a better way…

Built-in AI script writer

Short on time before Sunday? Give the AI your main idea and it writes a sermon recap script scene by scene for you to review. Edit any line before you generate the video.

Translate your video to 40+ languages

Share a sermon with people who speak another language. Translate narration, dialogue and captions into 40+ languages from one master, with the same scenes in each version.

Background music that matches the mood

Atlabs adds royalty-free music that stays soft under the narration and fits the mood of each scene. Turn it down, change it or upload your own track.

Auto lip-sync

When a character in a story speaks on screen, their lips move in time with the voice, so a short dialogue inside your illustration feels natural.

Ultra-realistic narration

Pick a warm, steady voice in 40+ languages and accents for the recap, or upload a recording of your own voice so the video sounds like the person people hear on Sunday.

Full scene-level editing control

Changed a point after preaching or fixed a verse? Swap, regenerate, retime or restyle only that scene, and the rest of the video stays exactly as it was before.
