The clips that actually get paid
Most clipping campaigns die on the same three mistakes.
Dead first second. If the viewer can scroll past without knowing what this is, the clip is already dead. Face, text, or a hard cut in frame 1.
Too faithful to the original. You're not making a trailer. You're making a new piece of content that happens to use our footage. Reframe, caption, punch in.
Wrong platform habits. TikTok CPM campaigns want native posts — no watermarks from other apps, no 16:9 YouTube crops, no 45-second rambling cuts.
