How to make money clipping podcasts

By Rakshit · Updated

Clipping means cutting short vertical videos out of someone else's long video, usually for a creator or brand that wants it done. Whop's Content Rewards hub describes the flow as "Pick a campaign, post your clip, earn per view", and a Whop post describes a clipping campaign as the content owner asking people to turn their existing content into new short-form videos. This guide walks the pipeline: getting permission, pulling the long video, generating ranked clips, posting, and tracking results. How and when you are paid is set by the campaign owner and the platform, not by KeyMo.

1. Pick creators or campaigns that want clips

Look for creators or brands that run a clipping campaign, or that welcome clippers, and that publish long-form video. Interview shows tend to be the easiest to clip, because one video holds many self-contained moments.

A creator who posts long episodes regularly and shows their face on camera is a good fit, because KeyMo's reframe follows the speaker.

2. Pull the long video

Paste the YouTube URL into KeyMo. The tool pulls the frames and audio it needs — no manual downloading, no yt-dlp, no "video is unavailable" dead ends.

If you were given a raw file, upload it directly (MP4 or MOV, up to 10 GB).

3. Let the agent rank the moments

KeyMo scores every potential moment and gives a short reason it will work. You see up to 15 clips, best first.

Post the top two or three to Shorts, Reels and TikTok on the creator's accounts (or your own, if that's the deal). Skip the rest unless the week is slow — posting weak clips drags the whole feed down.

4. Caption, trim, ship

Captions are already applied in one of 12 styles. If a clip needs a tweak — a word fix, a different style, a tighter cut — open it in the chat editor and tell KeyMo what to change.

Export at 1080p, 9:16. No watermark, so nothing in your output screams "made by an AI tool."

5. Post and track

Submit your clips the way the campaign says to, for example on the campaign's own page. Keep a simple tracker: creator, episode, clip, post date and views. How and when you are paid is set by the campaign owner and the platform, so read their rules before you start.

FAQ

Do I need to own the podcast to clip it?

You need the rights to the video or the creator's permission. If you are clipping for a campaign, the campaign's rules say what is allowed; if you are not sure, ask the creator. KeyMo asks you to confirm that you own the video or have permission before it imports a YouTube link.

What's the minimum setup?

A KeyMo account and the creator's long videos. Everything else — captions, reframe, scoring — is included.

How many clips should I post?

There is no fixed number: it depends on the campaign rules and the creator. Post the clips you would stand behind, and use the score and reason KeyMo gives each clip to choose. Pro includes 900 source minutes a month, so a show of 30 minutes a day uses about 900; a 60-minute show every day would use about 1,800.
