Every church media team knows the pressure: post consistently, or the account goes quiet. But hunting for a clippable moment across a back-catalog of full-length services is the bottleneck that kills the habit.
The workflow
- Find the moment. Search by what was said (a line, a story), by who's on screen (a guest, a worship leader), or by what the screen showed (a song title, a scripture super).
- Jump to it. Results take you to the exact timestamp — no scrubbing.
- Cut the clip. Trim and export for the recap reel, a Short, or a Reel.
Refrain does the finding — the part no other tool solves well — so your team spends its time editing, not searching.
Mine your archive, not just Sunday
Your best clips are often months old — a testimony, a guest message, a worship moment. Once your past services are searchable, the whole archive becomes raw material for social, instead of a folder nobody opens.
Honest scope: Refrain is a fast way to find and cut moments on your own Mac. Visual search is sharpest on clips and highlights; full-length services are fully searchable by transcript. It's a discovery-and-clipping tool, not a broadcast catalog.
