The short answer: is Nucleus Media (formerly Storytape) right for your church?
Nucleus Media is a church-focused library of stock footage, worship visuals, social posts and editable templates from the Nucleus team. It's best for churches already using or considering a Nucleus website. The catch: it's only offered as part of Nucleus Complete at $199 a month, which also includes the website and giving tools.
Who Nucleus Media (formerly Storytape) is for
Great for
- Churches already on Nucleus that want media without another subscription
- Teams looking for one platform for the website, giving and creative assets
- Video editors who want footage in ProRes or H.264, graded or ungraded
Skip it if
- Churches that only want stock footage. A standalone stock video subscription costs far less.
- Churches happy with their current website platform. You'd be paying for a site you don't use.
