Churches use complex AV sequences to create dynamic worship environments, but there is a range of programming (macros and cues) and skills (timing and integration) required to do it well without overwhelming the team.

This session is framed for the operational medium of video automation, but the content applies to lighting and audio control as well. You don’t need to be a software programmer to benefit. We walk through the automation workflow from beginning to end to build simpler, safer systems in your context.

This workshop is built around a single idea: run your production out of Claude. Claude becomes the hub where your prompting lives — not just for generating visuals, but for solving the everyday production headaches that eat your week.

You’ll learn the two foundational skills that unlock everything else: how to write a prompt that actually gets useful output, and how to build a repeatable skill so Claude already knows your voice, your brand, and your workflow before you ever open a file. From there, gear selection to delivery, we walk the modern church visual pipeline end to end — built fundamentally on volunteer accessibility, so you don’t need to be a broadcast engineer to benefit.

Churches use switchers and cameras to capture and share their worship experiences, but there is a range of equipment (PTZ and cinematic cameras, hardware and software switchers) and skills (directing, shading, and framing) required to do it well.

This session is framed for the visual medium of live video, but the content applies to broader production planning as well. You don’t need to be a seasoned broadcast director to benefit. We walk through the gear-upgrade process from beginning to end to build better, more reliable video systems in your context.
