The Clipper's Margin

Turn one long video into a week of shorts without paying per minute. Free, 3,400 words, no email required.

No signup. No list. Just the file.

You get paid on views of what survived. You get charged on minutes of what did not.

Three hundred credits a month. One credit per minute of source. That is five hours of material for a whole month — before a single re-cut, and a re-cut spends them again. You are not paying for the clips you post. You are paying for the footage you looked at, including everything you watched and threw away, which is most of it, because throwing most of it away is the job.

This guide works that arithmetic all the way through, and then shows the rest of the trade.

What's inside

The arithmetic of the meter — a real month of clipping costed out, and the point where the meter eats the profit.
How a clip actually earns — the payout formula worked through at real rates. 50,000 views at $2 pays $100. 300,000 pays $600.
Where the cut goes — where a clip starts and ends, why a hard cut with no sound reads as a glitch, why captions are burned in.
Where the campaigns are — how a reward pool works, and why you are paid on views and not on followers, so a brand new account earns on its first clip.
One long video into a week of posts — one three-hour recording walked all the way to seven posted clips.
Doing all of this without the meter — the short last chapter, and the only one with an offer in it.

The tool that made this guide's case

Everything in here works with whatever you already have open. If the arithmetic in chapter one bothered you, the Binder is $2.22 for a whole day — no per-minute meter, a four-hour recording costs the same as a four-minute one, and a re-cut costs nothing at all. Nothing renews.

Share it and earn half

The guide is free to hand to anyone. If you send someone who buys a pass, half of it is yours, split by Stripe as the payment clears — no cookie on your audience, no balance to chase.
