Getting started

From download to your first sermon.

Two short setups and you're ready: install the app, then create an Anthropic API key so it can write in your voice. Plan about 15 minutes the first time.

Step one

Install the app

  1. 1

    Download the trial

    Grab the installer from the Download page. It runs in demo mode, so you can start without a license or API key.

  2. 2

    Run the installer

    Double-click the .exe and follow the prompts. The first install unpacks a bundled ML stack, so give it a minute and a few GB of disk.

  3. 3

    Clear the Windows prompt

    If Windows shows “Windows protected your PC,” click “More info,” then “Run anyway.” The app is safe — the warning clears as more churches install it.

Installing on Windows

Windows may show a “Windows protected your PC / unknown publisher” prompt for new software. Click “More info,” then “Run anyway.” The app is safe — this warning clears as more people download it.

Step two

Get an Anthropic API key

SermonReelsPro uses Claude to write in your church’s voice. You bring your own key, which is why there’s no per-sermon fee to us — you pay Anthropic directly, about $1–3 per sermon.

  1. 1

    Create an Anthropic account

    Go to console.anthropic.com and sign up (or sign in). This is the account your AI usage is billed to — directly, with no markup from us.

  2. 2

    Add a payment method & a little credit

    Under Billing, add a card and a small amount of credit. Sermons cost roughly $1–3 each in usage, so a modest balance lasts a long time.

  3. 3

    Generate an API key

    Open API Keys, click Create Key, name it “SermonReelsPro,” and copy the key. You'll only see it once, so copy it carefully.

  4. 4

    Paste it into SermonReelsPro

    In the app, open Settings, paste your key, and save. The app stores it locally on your machine — it never passes through us.

Your key stays on your machine. SermonReelsPro stores it locally and talks to Anthropic directly from your PC. It never passes through us.

Step three

Activating your license

After you buy, you'll receive a license code by email. Open SermonReelsPro, go to Settings → License, paste the code, and click Activate. That removes the demo watermark and unlocks unlimited sermons.

What you'll need

We'd rather you know up front. These are real requirements, not fine print.

Required: Windows 10 or 11

Windows only — there is no Mac or Linux version.

Recommended: NVIDIA GPU strongly recommended

The app is GPU-accelerated, designed around ~8 GB VRAM cards (e.g. an RTX 3070 Ti). It can fall back to CPU, but transcription and rendering will be slow.

Required: An Anthropic (Claude) API key

You bring your own key — that's how AI cost stays at ~$1–3 per sermon with no markup. Getting one takes a few minutes.

Required: A few GB of disk space

The installer bundles a full ML stack, so set aside a few GB for the install.
