X Adds Video Clipping
The feature lets clips earn revenue for both reposting users and original creators enrolled in X’s rewards program, with web access coming soon.
- On Monday, X launched a new video clipping tool allowing users to trim prerecorded content between five and 60 seconds long. The feature lets users add commentary while ensuring both the original creator and the clipper receive credit.
- X introduced the feature to capitalize on rising video consumption and provide creators with monetization opportunities. The platform aims to make itself a more attractive hub for influencers by integrating rewards into the sharing process.
- Users select "Clip video" from the repost menu for content at least two minutes long, though clips cannot exceed 30 percent of the original. Creators currently cannot opt out without deleting their original post.
- Both the creator and clipper can earn from views through Original Content Rewards. The XCreators account posted, "Everyone wins when great moments travel. Clipping is one more step toward making X the best place to create, grow and earn."
- YouTube recently tightened Shorts feed policies to discourage unoriginal reposts, contrasting with X's approach. While X encourages clipping to drive engagement, YouTube now prioritizes content that adds creative value or commentary to existing footage.
