What is it that you usually do? This is an awfully broad question, but if you give us an idea of what has been done in the past, we might be able to suggest some manageable incremental improvements that would yield the most bang-for-the-buck.

Get the videos on Youtube and Vimeo, link them on your church's Facebook, Twitter, etc, etc. Run announcement slides with Youtube and Vimeo links prior to service. Or even run the videos just before the service starts if your church has projectors, or have your pastor plug them at the welcome or before the sermon.

Find some very epic music.

I know that sounds silly, but the easiest way to stir emotions and gain the attention of your audience is some really gripping music.

I have found extreme success using very epic music in my promos, bumpers, and videos.

Here is a good place to buy a fairly inexpensive library....

Stack tracks from Digital Juice are ok, but I consider their music beds usually their lowest quality products.

I use Microsoft Movie Maker, it is very easy to use. you can drop still pics, video clips, audio narration and there are lots of built in transitions to choose from. I have made sever videos for church promotion different ministries and missions.

Good luck!
