Hire clippers and UGC creators

Clippers cut your long videos into short clips, post them on their own accounts and earn per 1,000 verified views. UGC creators film new videos around your product, for the pay you set in the brief. You choose the budget and the rules, and you only pay for work that passes review.

Videos run on TikTok, Reels, Shorts and X

Clippers or UGC creators?

Clippers work from videos you already have. UGC creators film new ones around your product. You can hire one, or both.

Clippers

  • Work from videos you already have: streams, podcasts, interviews and talks.
  • Cut the best moments into vertical clips with captions.
  • Post them on their own TikTok, Reels, Shorts and X accounts.
  • Get paid per 1,000 verified views, from your budget.

UGC creators

  • Work from your product and your brief.
  • Film new videos: demos, reviews, unboxings and how-tos.
  • Post or hand over each video the way your brief asks.
  • Get paid on the terms you set in the brief, from your budget.

The feed wants more video than you can make.

Short-form runs on volume. Your long videos hide moments that would travel on their own, and your product needs videos that look like someone's own post, not an ad.

A strong short video reaches people who have never heard of you. If nobody makes it, they never see it, and you only ever reach the audience you already have.

How creators use clipping campaigns to grow

Why it doesn't get made

  • Cutting and filming take hours

    Find the moment, trim it, caption it. Or write, shoot and edit a demo. Then do it all again next week.

  • One account is one shot

    A video you post yourself gets one chance in the feed, from one account.

  • Ads look like ads

    People scroll past a polished spot. They stop for someone who sounds like them.

  • Editors cost the same either way

    A freelance editor gets paid whether the clip flops or travels. You carry all of the risk.

You write the brief. Clippers cut. UGC creators film.

You decide the budget, the pay and what's allowed. Clippers find your best moments and post them. UGC creators film your product. We check every video, remove fake views and pay from your budget.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Share the long videos you want clipped, or the product you want UGC for. Clippers and UGC creators only work from what you give them.

  2. Set the budget and the rules

    Pick a total budget, the pay, the platforms you want, and the rules every video has to follow.

  3. Clippers and UGC creators get to work

    Clippers cut your best moments into short clips and post them on their own accounts. UGC creators film new videos around your product.

  4. Pay for what passes review

    We check every video against your rules, track every clip, strip out fake views, and pay from your budget. Nothing more.

Your budget, your pay, your rules.

Four settings decide what you spend and what goes out with your name on it. You set every one of them, and you can pause a campaign whenever you want.

Example: settings for a clipping campaign.

  • Budget cap

    Set the total once. When it's used up, the campaign closes, so you never spend more than you set.

  • Pay

    Clipping campaigns pay a rate you choose per 1,000 verified views. UGC campaigns pay what you set in the brief. Talent sees the pay before they start.

  • Video approval

    Approve videos yourself before they're paid, or let our team review them against your rules. Anything that breaks a rule isn't paid.

  • Content rules

    Length, style, captions, what to show, tag or link, and anything that's off limits. Every video is checked against them.

Want us to run it? Compare plans

We check the work before you pay for it.

Every clip and every UGC video is reviewed against your rules. Clips also have their views tracked, and views that don't hold up come out before anyone is paid.

  1. Submitted

    Clippers submit the links to clips they posted. UGC creators submit the videos they made.

  2. Checked against your rules

    Length, captions, credit, what has to be shown and anything off limits. A video that breaks a rule isn't paid.

  3. Views tracked

    We follow the views on every clip, on each platform the campaign allows.

  4. Fake views removed

    Views that look bought or botted come out before any money moves.

    Not paid. Listed in your report.

  5. Paid from your budget

    Clippers for verified views at your rate. UGC creators on the terms in your brief.

The 3,100 views from the spike come out before payout and show up in your report.

Signals we look at on every clip

  • Sudden spikes

    Views that arrive in a burst that doesn't fit how the clip, or the account, usually grows.

  • Engagement that doesn't add up

    Likes, comments and shares far out of line with the view count.

  • Suspicious accounts

    Activity from accounts that look automated, bought or part of a view farm.

  • Your campaign rules

    A clip that breaks one of your rules isn't paid, whatever its views.

We don't quote a catch rate. We show our work instead: every removal is in your report, with the reason. Anyone caught buying views loses the views and the payout, and can be banned.

Read the rules every clipper and UGC creator agrees to

Know what every dollar bought.

Every campaign comes with a report you can check line by line: what went out, who made it, where it ran, what it cost and what we threw out.

Every report shows

  • Verified views: what your clipping spend is based on

  • Spend: what's gone, against your cap

  • Videos and talent: who made what, and where it ran

  • By platform: TikTok, Reels, Shorts and X side by side

  • By video: the numbers for every clip and UGC video

  • Views removed: how many came out, and why

What does a clipping budget buy?

An estimate for clipping campaigns. Pick a budget and a rate to see how many verified views it covers: budget ÷ rate × 1,000. UGC pay is set in each brief, so it isn't part of this math.

What brands and creators ask first.

Short answers to the questions we hear most. The full list is on the FAQ page.

How does a clipping campaign work?

You share your source content, set a total budget and a pay rate per 1,000 views, and write the rules clips have to follow. Clippers pick up the campaign, post clips and submit the links. We track views on every clip, review clips against your rules, remove fake views, and pay clippers from your budget until it runs out or you pause the campaign.

How do I hire UGC creators?

Launch a campaign and tell us what you need: the product, the kind of video, the platforms and your rules. UGC creators who fit the brief pick it up, and you review their videos before anything is paid.

Book a demo
How much does it cost?

You decide. Your budget and the pay you set decide the spend, and a campaign stops when its budget is used.

View pricing
Can I approve videos before they're paid?

Yes. Review videos yourself, or have our team review them against your rules. Anything that breaks the rules doesn't get paid.

Can I pause or stop a campaign?

Yes. Pause a campaign whenever you want. It also ends on its own when the budget runs out, so you never spend more than you set.

Write the brief. We'll find the people to make it.
