## In short

To run a [clipping](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#clipping) campaign, open [Create](https://satt.com/create), paste the link of your long-form source and write a goal such as “clip our podcast into shorts”. SaTT drafts a pool paid 100% per result: a price per 1,000 views and a cap per clip, on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and X. You review the clip rules in the brief and launch.

## What is a clipping campaign?

Clippers are creators who cut short extracts from a long source (a podcast episode, a livestream, a keynote, a long YouTube video) and post them on short-form networks. Each clip that gets views earns money; clips that get no views cost nothing.

On SaTT, clipping is a template of the link-first create flow. It uses the [performance](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#pay-per-performance) reward mode only: the whole budget goes to a price per 1,000 views, with a cap per clip. Likes and shares are not priced on clips.

## How do you set up a clipping campaign, step by step?

1. **Paste the source link** — On [Create](https://satt.com/create), choose Dollars or Crypto, keep “AdPool”, and paste the link of the long video or episode clippers should cut from.
2. **Say it is a clipping campaign** — In the goal field, write it plainly, for example “clip our podcast into shorts for TikTok and Reels”. The AI picks the clipping template from the link and the goal.
3. **Check the networks** — Clips can be posted on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and X. Only networks the [oracle](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#oracle) can measure today are offered; some may carry a “Limited” badge.
4. **Set the price and the cap** — Edit the price per 1,000 views (your [CPM](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#cpm)) and the maximum one clip can earn. The cap protects your budget from a single viral clip taking everything.
5. **Review the clip rules and launch** — Check the rules shown in the brief (minimum views, clip length, required hashtags, credit line), edit them if needed, then press **Launch my AdPool**.

## Which clip rules does the draft propose?

The draft adds a clipping box to the creator brief. The defaults are a starting point:

| Rule | Default | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Minimum views | 1,000 views | A clip needs real reach before it is worth paying |
| Clip length | 15 to 90 seconds | Fits TikTok, Shorts, Reels and X video |
| Required hashtags | Up to 3 | Makes clips easy to find and attribute |
| Credit line | e.g. “From: <your show>” | Credits the source in every caption |
| Cap per clip | Set by you | The most one clip can earn |

> **Warning:** Some rules are shown to clippers in the brief but are not all enforced automatically by a standard performance pool (for example the minimum views). The price per 1,000 views, the cap per clip and the fraud checks always apply.

## What does a clipping budget look like?

Example: a $200 dollar pool, $1.00 per 1,000 views, cap of $20 per clip.

- Platform fee: 15% in dollars, so $170 is paid to clippers.
- A clip with 8,000 views earns $8.00; a clip with 50,000 views stops at the $20 cap.
- The $170 covers at least 8 capped clips, or many smaller ones, until the budget runs out.
- In crypto, a pool funded in SaTT pays a 5% fee instead of 15%.

Like every performance pool, nothing is payable during the 48-hour [maturation](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#maturation), and 20% of each clip’s earnings is held until the final check after the pool ends (the [holdback](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#holdback)).

## What are the common pitfalls?

- **No cap per clip**: one viral clip can use the whole budget in a day.
- **A source without clear rights**: only ask for clips of content you own or are allowed to license.
- **Too many identical clips**: near-identical captions across creators raise [duplicate content](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#duplicate-content) flags. Ask clippers to pick different moments.
- **Unmeasurable networks**: a network marked “Coming soon” cannot be paid; check [tracking capabilities](https://satt.com/guides/features/network-capabilities).

## Key takeaways

- Clipping = a performance pool paid per 1,000 views, with a cap per clip.
- Write “clip … into shorts” in the goal so the draft picks the clipping template.
- Clips can run on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and X.
- Always set a cap per clip; check which clip rules are shown versus enforced.

## Frequently asked questions

### Are likes and shares paid on clips?

No. The clipping template prices views only (per 1,000 views), so likes and shares earn nothing on a clip.

### Can clippers post the same clip to several pools?

They can try, but reusing a post in another pool is flagged by the fraud checks and a post already submitted by another creator is blocked.

### Which network measures clip views best today?

YouTube views come from the official YouTube Data API. TikTok, Instagram Reels and X views come from a metrics provider whose quota may be limited during the alpha, shown as “Limited”.
