VERTICALFLOW Clipping: Short-form clipping agency

It is quoted per run — a number of clips over a window — rather than per clip, because the useful unit is a test, not a single edit. Tell us what long-form you have and what you want it to do, and you get a projected clip count, a window and a price within 24 hours. No call, and nothing is committed at that point.

One long-form asset — a podcast episode, a launch video, a founder interview, a week of streams — and a sentence on what the campaign is for. If anything is off limits, send that too: it goes into the brief the network works from.

On TikTok and Instagram, from the editors’ own accounts. That is deliberate: the clips go out through many independent profiles, so the distribution is a network rather than one brand channel you have to keep feeding.

The brief is the control. It is written before a campaign opens, every editor works from it, and it is where you put what must never be cut, claimed or implied. A campaign is not opened to the network without one.

Every clip submitted for your campaign is registered to it and to the editor who made it. Views and engagement are then read from the public post by an automated sync — nobody types them in, on either side. That sync is not switched on yet: until it is, counts read zero, and they backfill once it runs.

An agency that takes one long-form asset, turns it into a volume of short vertical clips and distributes them through a network of editors rather than one brand account. The value is not the editing — it is the number of independent attempts at a hook, so what works is discovered rather than guessed.

Apply below. If you are accepted you get the course, the source material for campaigns as they open and a rate agreed before you cut anything. You do not need a big audience — the network runs on editors who can cut — but the clips go out from your own TikTok or Instagram account.

Per 1,000 views, at a rate agreed with you before you start. Payouts go out monthly by SEPA bank transfer in euros, so you need an account in your own name that can receive one. If a month’s payout comes to less than €20 it is not sent: those views roll into the next month rather than expiring. A clip whose numbers look bought is held out of a payout until it has been reviewed.

You are paid again. Each payout settles the views a clip has gained since the last one, not a total that gets closed off — so while you are in the network, a clip from three months ago keeps earning while people keep watching it.

The clips you submit, the campaign each one is attributed to, and the course. Being straight about the rest: the sync that reads view counts is not switched on yet, so counts read zero until it is, then backfill. Nothing about your work is lost in the gap — attribution is recorded the moment you submit.

No. The work is remote and the brief is in English. Where you live only matters for payment: you need a bank account in your own name that can receive a SEPA transfer in euros.
