We don’t currently have a full-time (or part-time) video editor at our church (although we are raising up volunteers in this area), so we often purchase sermon illustration videos from vendors such as Worship House Media and the big papa, older brother SermonSpice.
This became a little tricky because our service videos get distributed to our Internet Campus (sim-live), on-demand streaming via our website and iTunes podcasts.
Although we don’t charge for our content anywhere across the board, licensing gets complicated with various venues of distribution.
So, I compiled this list of our favorite video vendors for our use at the office and I thought I would share it here.
Check it out:
Although it is recent (the research was conducted this Fall), I do encourage you to double-check with the vendors (i.e. if you do something wrong or something on their end changes, please don’t blame me).
