CLIPPERY explained: how does the marketplace for clippers and brands work?

The mission is clear: a good story shouldn't stop after one upload. CLIPPERY wants good content to travel further and for the people who help with that to be rewarded fairly and transparently, based on real results rather than promises ^[1].

The platform formerly known as madebyclip.com now redirects to clippery.io ^[1].

CLIPPERY Marketplace: how does it work?

The Marketplace is CLIPPERY's core product. Here you can, as a clipper, discover campaigns from brands and creators, make clips, share them on social media and earn based on your reach ^[2].

For clippers: from content to income

The process consists of four steps ^[2]:

• Step one: Choose a campaign that suits your content and audience
• Step two: Make your clip with the supplied content or create a suitable video yourself
• Step three: Share on social media according to the campaign conditions
• Step four: Earn with reach once the qualified views have been approved

Registration is free and there is no minimum number of followers required ^[1]. Each campaign shows in advance what you earn per thousand qualified views, which platforms count and how much budget remains ^[1]. Earnings are never guaranteed and depend on your results and the campaign conditions ^[1].

The fee is paid per thousand qualified views, and a minimum number of views only determines when a clip begins to earn. There is no maximum per clip: you keep earning until the funded campaign budget runs out ^[2].

For brands: redeploying existing content

Brands use content they already have to reach new audiences through multiple accounts simultaneously, and pay for qualified views rather than production hours ^[1]. The process runs in four steps ^[1]:

• Step one: A brand launches a campaign with source material, a briefing, a rate per thousand qualified views and a budget
• Step two: Clippers choose a campaign, make clips and place them on the permitted platforms
• Step three: The brand assesses each submission before it counts
• Step four: Qualified views are rewarded according to the campaign conditions until the budget runs out

As a brand, you set the rate, the minimum number of views and the budget, and retain control over your brand by assessing each submission ^[1].

Difference with influencer marketing

With influencer marketing you typically pay one person upfront for a post to their audience. With CLIPPERY, many clippers distribute your own content, and you pay afterwards per qualified view. The risk of a post that doesn't perform is therefore not borne by the brand ^[1].

CLIPPERY Clipping tool: AI-driven clip production

The Clipping tool is a separate product within the CLIPPERY ecosystem. This tool analyses long videos and automatically produces short, publication-ready clips.

How the Clipping tool works

The process consists of three steps ^[3]:

• Step one: Add a long video by uploading a file or pasting a link to your own video
• Step two: AI finds the moments – CLIPPERY assesses each moment on hook, clarity and pace, and suggests the best ones
• Step three: Shorts ready to post – vertical, with subtitles and a hook; review, adjust and export

The tool delivers ^[3]:

• Vertical reframing to format
• Baked-in subtitles, one line at a time
• Hooks and titles per clip
• Export multiple shorts simultaneously

Combination with the Marketplace

You can use the same Clipping tool on source material from campaigns in the Marketplace. This way you combine automated clip production with the ability to earn per qualified view ^[3].

Terms and conditions and important points

According to CLIPPERY's general terms and conditions ^[4], the following rules apply:

Credits and payment

Credits are the unit of measurement for paid generations. An estimate before you approve a generation is an estimate; Credits are reserved when a generation is submitted and charged when it is actually executed ^[4].

Credits are a prepaid right to use the Service and are not electronic money, a payment instrument, securities or currency. Included plan Credits are allocated per billing period and, unless the plan explicitly states otherwise, are not carried forward. Credits have no cash value, cannot be redeemed for money and are not transferable or saleable between accounts ^[4].

Acceptable use and prohibited content

You may not use the Service to create, upload, store, process or distribute content that ^[4]:

• Is unlawful or infringes intellectual property, privacy, personality, portrait rights or other rights of others
• Concerns sexual content with minors, or any depiction of a minor in a sexualised manner – this will be reported and results in immediate termination
• Concerns non-consensual sexual content, or sexual deepfakes of identifiable persons
• Uses the likeness, face, voice, name or persona of an identifiable person without lawful basis and the necessary consent

Rights, consent and voices

You warrant that you have all rights, licences and consents necessary for everything you upload or instruct the Service to process, including for every person whose face, body, likeness, voice or performance appears in or is derived from your material, and including music, imagery, trademark or brand asset ^[4].

Where local law requires labelling of synthetic or AI-generated media – including the transparency obligations under the EU AI Act as they apply to you – it is your responsibility to apply the appropriate disclosure when you publish Output ^[4].

AI output and quality guarantees

Generative AI is probabilistic. The same prompt can yield different results at different times. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and except where mandatory law requires otherwise, Clippery gives no guarantee, warranty or certainty that Output ^[4]:

• Corresponds with your prompt, briefing, reference image, style, character, expectation or taste
• Achieves a certain level of aesthetic or technical quality
• Is continuous, consistent between scenes, or maintains a character, likeness, product, wardrobe, colour or setting
• Is factually accurate, free from hallucination, free from artefacts, correctly spelled, anatomically correct or free from visual defects

Dissatisfaction with Output, subjective quality judgements, creative differences, a result that doesn't match your taste or expectation, prompt interpretation, model artefacts, inconsistency between generations, hallucinated detail and the ordinary variability of generative models are not technical failures of the Service. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, they do not entitle you to a refund, a credit restoration, a free regeneration or compensation ^[4].

Practical tips for clippers

Want to get started with CLIPPERY Marketplace? Bear the following in mind:

• Check the budget per campaign: Each campaign shows how much budget remains. Start with campaigns that have sufficient budget to justify your effort.
• Note the permitted platforms: Some campaigns only accept TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts – check this beforehand ^[2].
• Understand the conditions: Qualified views must meet the campaign requirements and be approved by the brand before they count ^[1].
• Keep your own copies: CLIPPERY is not a back-up or archiving service. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of everything you cannot lose ^[4].
• Review Output thoroughly: You are responsible for assessing, checking and approving Output before you use, publish, distribute or rely on it ^[4].

Frequently asked questions

How much can you earn with CLIPPERY Marketplace?

Each campaign sets its own rate per thousand qualified views. On the live Marketplace, example campaigns vary between euros and euros per thousand qualified views ^[2]. Earnings are never guaranteed and depend on your results and the campaign conditions ^[1]. There is no maximum per clip: you keep earning until the funded campaign budget runs out ^[2].

No, there is no minimum number of followers required to participate ^[1]. Every clipper can take part, regardless of the size of their audience.

What happens if a brand rejects your clip?

The general terms and conditions state that a Provider can refuse, filter or cause a request to fail, and that when a Provider refuses a request on grounds of moderation, this is not an error of the Service ^[4].

Can you use CLIPPERY for every type of content?

No. You may not use the Service for content that is unlawful, infringes the rights of others, contains sexual content with minors, non-consensual sexual content, deepfakes of identifiable persons without consent, hate speech, disinformation presented as fact, or fraudulent material ^[4]. Violation can lead to immediate termination.
