Content Rewards rules that matter for AI clips
From the Creator Terms on contentrewards.com, last updated October 4, 2026. Each campaign can add its own requirements on top.
| Rule | What the Creator Terms say |
|---|---|
| Who runs it | Content Rewards Inc, on contentrewards.com. An older version still runs inside Whop, and payouts are withdrawn through Whop. |
| How CPM campaigns pay | Per 1,000 verified views, from a budget the brand funds, at least $1,000. The brand can set a minimum a clip must earn before it is paid, and a maximum. |
| Creator fee | A flat 10% of every CPM and Pool payout. Per-post and Retainer campaigns take 10% under a $5,000 budget and nothing from $5,000. |
| Who approves clips | The brand, or the agency running the campaign, approves or rejects each submission. Some campaigns ask for a draft MP4 before you post. |
| AI-made clips | No platform-wide ban on AI-made or auto-clipped clips. The brand can still reject any clip. The only AI rule bans AI-generated intimate images of a real person. |
| How long views count | Tracking normally runs 30 days from submission, unless the campaign sets another period. |

From campaign video to submitted clip
Get the source file
Start from the campaign's own video file. clipsdk takes an upload or a direct link to the file. YouTube, Twitch and other page links are refused.
Open New clips
In the dashboard, upload the file, up to 3 hours and 5 GB, or paste its link. Pick how many clips, how long, 9:16 and a caption preset. Nothing to code.
Read the scores
Clips come back best first, each scored 0 to 100 with a one-line reason. Post 80 and up as they are, check 50 to 79 for context, skip anything under 50.
Download, post, submit
Download the MP4. Each clip has a title and a post caption with at most 3 hashtags: fit them to the campaign brief, post, then submit the post. Files are kept 7 days.
The request behind the clip
This is the exact request behind the clip above. Try it opens New clips with the same settings and the same stream, so you can run it without writing code.
If you clip for several campaigns a day, the same request from a script does the work for you. It asked for 10 clips and got 7: clipsdk returns fewer when a video has fewer good moments.

}'How Content Rewards pays for clips
Content Rewards is the clipping marketplace that started on Whop. It is now run by Content Rewards Inc on contentrewards.com, and you still withdraw your payouts through Whop.
Brands fund the campaigns. A CPM campaign pays per 1,000 verified views, and the brand can set a minimum a clip must earn before it pays and a maximum it can earn. Content Rewards keeps a flat 10% of every CPM and Pool payout. You only earn on clips the brand approves.
Can you post AI-made clips?
The Creator Terms have no platform-wide rule against AI-made or auto-clipped clips. Each brand sets its own requirements and can reject any submission, so read the campaign brief before you clip.
Put what the brief asks for in prompt, up to 500 characters, and the ranker looks for those moments first. Then watch every clip yourself before you post it. If you want your own caption style, turn burned-in captions off and use the SRT or VTT file that comes with each clip.
What a campaign video costs to clip
You pay $0.03 per minute of source video, every clip included up to 1080p60 and 20 Mb/s, and a job that fails costs nothing. New accounts get $1 free, which is 33 minutes. See pricing for volume rates.
- A 10 minute stream: $0.30
- A 60 minute podcast: $1.80
- A 3 hour stream, the longest file: $5.40

$0.03 per source minute: a 10 minute video up to 1080p60 and 20 Mb/s costs $0.30, whether it returns 1 clip or 20. New accounts get $1 free, 33 minutes, and failed jobs cost nothing.
