First clip of the moment wins
The feed rewards whoever posts a moment first. Hours spent rewatching a stream are hours your clip isn't up.
For clippers
Win clipping competitions without watching every stream.
Campaigns pay per view, and the first good clip of a moment takes most of them. ChatClipThat watches the whole VOD and hands you the moments, captioned and credited, while everyone else is still scrubbing.

The format
How a clipping competition works.
Also called a clipping campaign or contest. A streamer or brand pays for reach, and you earn by cutting their stream into clips people watch.
- 01
Someone funds it
A streamer or sponsor sets a budget, a rate per 1,000 views, and the rules: length, captions, how to credit them.
- 02
Clippers post
You cut the stream, post to your own TikTok, Shorts and Reels pages, and submit the links.
- 03
Views get paid
Approved clips earn on verified views until the budget runs out. Some campaigns add a leaderboard with bonuses for the top clippers.
What decides it
Everyone has the same stream. Three things separate you.
You can't out-footage the other clippers. You can be earlier, post more that gets approved, and make the same moment look better.
More approved clips, more shots
Nobody knows which clip takes off. The budget drains either way, so the clippers who post ten good ones beat the ones who post two.
Rejected clips earn nothing
Campaigns set rules for captions, credit and length. A clip that misses them is unpaid work, however many views it gets.
Where the time goes
Stop watching. Start posting.
A six-hour stream is six hours of watching before you cut anything. Clip three streamers and that's the whole day gone.
By hand
Watch it all, cut, caption, title, repeat
You find the moment hours after it happened, then spend another twenty minutes per clip on captions and a title.

- 01
Paste the VOD link
The streamer's Twitch, Kick or YouTube VOD, as soon as they go offline.
- 02
It watches the whole stream
Speech, audio, video and chat, start to finish, ranked by how likely a moment is to land.
- 03
Keep the ones worth posting
Swipe through the clips. Trim or restyle any of them in the editor.
- 04
Post and submit
Export, post to your pages, and drop the links into the campaign.
Built for the rules
Clips that get approved the first time.
Most campaigns ask for the same things. They come on every clip by default, and you can change any of them.
Credit
The streamer's name is on the clip
A name banner with their handle and platform, so the credit rule is covered before you export.
Hook
A different hook title for every clip
Written from what happens in the moment, shown in the first second, so your clip isn't the same video as everyone else's.
Captions
20+ caption styles
Pick one and make it your page's look. Word-by-word or full sentence, timed to the speech.
Formats
Vertical, square and wide
One moment, cut for TikTok, Shorts, Reels and the rest, with the facecam and gameplay framed for each.
Why this matters for payouts too: platforms pay little or nothing for straight re-uploads. A hook, captions and your own cut are what make a clip yours.
The math
Run your own numbers.
Campaign pay is views times rate. The lever you control is how many approved clips you post while the budget is still there.
- Rates vary by campaign. Surveys of live campaigns put the typical rate around $1 per 1,000 verified views, with most between about $0.30 and $3.
- Only approved clips and verified views count. Read the rules before you cut.
- Budgets run out. Early clips get paid. Late ones may not.
Rates checked November 2026. This is a calculator, not a promise.
Running one yourself?
Seed your competition with your own clips.
Run your VODs through ChatClipThat first. You get clips to post from day one, and your clippers see the standard you're paying for.
Not streaming yet?
Clipping is a way in.
You learn what makes a moment travel before you ever go live, and you build a page that already has an audience.
Questions
Before you enter.
What is a clipping competition?
A streamer or brand puts up a budget and pays clippers for the views their clips get, usually per 1,000 verified views. Clippers post to their own TikTok, Shorts and Reels pages and submit the links. It is also called a clipping campaign or a clipping contest.
How much do clipping competitions pay?
It depends on the campaign. Surveys of live campaigns put the typical rate around $1 per 1,000 verified views, with most between about $0.30 and $3. You are paid only for approved clips, and only while the campaign's budget lasts.
Do I need to be a streamer to enter?
No. You need a page to post on and clips that follow the campaign's rules. Most clippers never go live themselves.
Everyone is clipping the same stream. How do I stand out?
Post sooner, and don't post the same clip. A different hook title, your own caption style and a tighter cut make the same moment a different video. ChatClipThat writes a separate hook for every clip and has more than 20 caption styles.
Do I need editing software?
No. Clips come out captioned, titled and cut for vertical, square or wide. You can still trim a clip or change its captions in the editor before exporting.
I'm a streamer. Can I use this for my own competition?
Yes. Run your VODs through ChatClipThat to seed the campaign with clips and show clippers the standard you want, or point your clippers at it so they spend their time posting, not scrubbing.
