Content repurposing jobs: what the clipper version involves
By Rakshit · Updated
In a content repurposing job, you turn a client's long video into short clips and hand them over. A delivery is a set of captioned vertical files, picked from a scored list. With KeyMo that list holds up to 15 clips per episode, and the client checks them against written rules on length, format, brand mention and permission.
What a delivery looks like
- The client sends a long video, or you take it from their channel with their permission.
- You run it through KeyMo, which returns up to 15 clips, each with a score out of 10 and a one-line reason. Only clips scoring 7 or higher are kept.
- You review the list and pick the clips that fit the client's rules. Picking is the job; the list is the raw material.
- You fix what needs fixing. Open a clip in the chat editor and say what to change, such as a word, a cut or a caption style.
- You export, as single files or a ZIP, and send the set with a short sheet that says what each clip is.
Below is an illustrative sheet for a 45-minute episode. It is a made-up example, not a real run. KeyMo's built-in target for a source up to 60 minutes is 8 to 12 clips, and that is a target, not a promise.
| Clip | Score | Length setting | Caption style | Note for the client |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9 | Medium (40 to 60 s) | Bold Pop | The guest's answer to the pricing question |
| 2 | 8 | Short (20 to 40 s) | Bold Pop | A one-line story with a clean ending |
| 3 | 8 | Medium (40 to 60 s) | Bold Pop | A step-by-step answer; works with sound off |
| 4 | 7 | Short (20 to 40 s) | Bold Pop | Borderline; included only for a thin week |
Of the clips KeyMo might return, you deliver the ones you would post yourself. Sending all fifteen shifts your job to the client.
What a client actually checks
Whop's docs give a good picture of what a brand looks at before it approves and pays for a clip. Brands write the rules, and the docs list quality standards, brand mention, prohibited content, video length or format, and required messaging. Submissions are then approved or rejected, with a reason given on a rejection. A direct client has the same concerns even without a platform, so ask for the list in writing.
| What is checked | How to meet it |
|---|---|
| Length and format | Pick a length setting up front. KeyMo exports vertical 1080x1920 at 30 fps, H.264 with AAC audio. |
| Quality | Deliver clips by score and by your own review; a 7 is the lowest KeyMo keeps. |
| Brand mention and required messaging | Check each clip for it, and use the chat editor for small changes. |
| Prohibited content | Watch the clip end to end. The tool does not know the client's red lines. |
| Watermarks | None on KeyMo exports, on any plan. |
| Permission | Get it in writing before you cut. KeyMo asks you to confirm you own the video or have permission before importing a YouTube link. |
Rejections are often about a rule you did not read, not about quality. Keep the client's list next to the review screen.
Rights and originality
- YouTube's reused content policy applies even with the original creator's permission. It covers repurposing content already online without significant original commentary, substantive modifications, or educational or entertainment value. Its not-allowed examples include clips edited together with little or no narrative.
- TikTok treats content largely repurposed from another source without creative edits as unoriginal.
- The U.S. Copyright Office advises getting permission when in doubt and says there is no formula for a safe length. This is not legal advice.
For a client's own channel this matters less than for a clip account run by you. In both cases, captions, a clean cut and a clear first line are what make a clip more than a copy.
Running it as an agency: plan the minutes
KeyMo counts source minutes, not clips, so the plan for an agency is a sum. Starter has 300 source minutes a month and Pro has 900; they reset every billing period and do not carry over. Source files are kept for 7 days and clips for 30.
- A client with four one-hour episodes a month uses 240 minutes. Starter covers one such client. Pro covers three (900 divided by 240 is 3.75).
- A 90-minute episode counts as 90 minutes, whether it gives 6 clips or 15.
- Download and send clips within the 30-day window, and keep your own copy of the final files.
Fix the scope in the contract: clips per episode, revision rounds, turnaround and who posts.

When you want to test the delivery routine on a real episode, the pricing page shows the plans.
